Cendrine Vanderhoeven

Following a Master's degree in Family and Sexuality Studies, I have gained more than fifteen years of clinical experience supporting women who have experienced, or are currently experiencing, physical, sexual or intimate partner violence.

I offer individualised support that respects each woman's personal history and pace. My aim is to help women reconnect with their bodies and emotions and regain a sense of agency, enabling them to progressively take back control of their lives and rebuild themselves, regardless of what they have experienced.

My experience led me to write an article for the WHO in 2018 and, in 2026, to create the card game ‘Le temps de l’Intimité’. The game invites women to explore, at their own pace, their relationship with their body, intimacy, sensations and personal boundaries in a safe, respectful and non-intrusive setting.
