Louis Cauffman is a business economist and clinical psychologist with a wide range of therapeutic training, ranging from Systemic Family Therapy to Ericksonian Hypnotherapy through all possible directions within the Solution-oriented approach.
Ik heb een dubbele achtergrond. Ik ben klinisch psycholoog met een hele brede waaier aan therapeutische opleidingen, gaande van Systemische familietherapie over Ericksoniaanse hypnotherapie tot alle mogelijke richtingen in de oplossingsgerichte benadering.
Daarnaast ben ik bedrijfseconoom.
Deze dubbele achtergrond weerspiegelt zich ook in de diversiteit van het werk en de projecten waarmee ik me bezig mag houden.
Peter van Erum graduated as a zoologist and science teacher in 1990 from the University of Ghent, Belgium. In 1992 he started teaching biology and chemistry in a rural school in Tanzania.
He remained in East Africa (Tanzania and Uganda), working in various advisory and management positions: training coordinator, regional director, organisational development and program advisor, fundraiser, project manager, etc.
For most of these years, he worked for Trias, a Belgian non-governmental development organisation focusing on strengthening organisations of small-holder farmers and entrepreneurs. Currently, he is the regional partnership manager (East Africa) at the Trias Uganda office.

I am a process facilitator, coach and mediator. Mediating, connecting and helping people get to where they want to be are in my blood. By doing so, I want to contribute to valuable living and working together and I believe in the power of conversation. How beautiful is it when you can talk, exchange and come up with solutions with each other in a caring and genuine way?
I work from solution-focused practice and draw inspiration from Deep Democracy. I also bring my background in dramaturgy to the workplace. As a dramaturge, I always look at the different layers at play in an organisation; the people, their wishes, the mutual relationships, the prevailing culture and the substantive project. Together, we look at the different layers and, where necessary, we align them.
Horses have always been a passion, since I was a child. However, I’ve walked a long path to arrive at getting into contact with the real nature of horses and how we can learn from them. A horse trek in the French Pyrenees (in 2002) was a key moment: in actually living together with the horses I finally found what intuitively I had always linked with them: contact, togetherness, trust, authenticity, respect, clarity, peace… The search for where I could find those qualities somewhere closer to home brought me to Terra Natura in the Netherlands, where I started a training with Pieter Baalbergen in 2004. After Pieter’s death in 2006 I continued to give direction to this organisation for a couple of years, together with some colleagues. With Equoia I am now walking my own path.
As he is training himself in getting things to its essence, adding a longer bio is quite a challenge. Therefor he wants to focus on the essence, namely noticing things that work for him.

Zuzanna enjoys meshing the embodied, enactive and phenomenologically oriented approaches to cognition with modern theories and problems found in cognitive sciences, ecological psychology and pragmatism. She explore topics relevant to the field of philosophy of mind and cognitive science, such as explaining typically representational activities such as imagining or planning, through embodied and enactive cognition, while taking examples that are of my personal interest, e.g., imaginary friend play, metaphor use, or rock climbing
