Sexologue queer exerçant des thérapie LGBTQ+ ainsi que thérapie relationnelle non monogame
About me

My name is Noémie Gmür (she/they).

I am a certified Sex & Couple Counsellor and Hypnotherapist. I offer therapy and workshops for individuals, couples and multiple partnered relationships.

I offer therapy in English and French online or in person, in Brussels. 

Care and listening have always been at the heart of my way of being in the world.

Situated Practice
As a therapist, situating the social and political position from which I speak including my privileges and experiences of marginalization, helps foster transparency, reflexivity, and awareness of how power dynamics may shape the therapeutic relationship. I don’t feel comfortable with approaches that imply I’m a blank slate, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to tell you my whole life story—don’t worry.
I am a white, Swiss-French, non-binary, body-abled, queer, neurodivergent and polyamorous human being with a middle-class background. Alongside my lived experience and political commitments, my practice is grounded in over five years of academic and clinical training.

Values
I am educating myself on systemic oppressions (fat phobia, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism…) and detecting my own prejudice in order to create a space where you can express yourselves in trust, free of judgments and taboos. My approach is based on intersectional feminism, anti-capitalism and decolonial approaches. To me, you are the expert(s) of your life experiences, your feelings, sensations, body. That’s your wisdom and I see myself as a co-driver, who’s supporting you with exploration, tools, content…

My Path to Therapy
The choice to become a therapist was the fruit of a long reflection. After 6 years working in the field of communication as a Social Media Strategist, I decided to change careers.  The world of communication and advertising agencies led me to ask myself a lot of questions about the meaning I wanted to give to my work and the environment in which I was doing it. In 2018, I resigned and worked in freelance as a podcast author, director, producer and trainer. I even wrote a book on the subject called ‘L’art du Podcast’, published by Eyrolles. It explains how to start a podcast from A to Z.

My path to therapy started during my own therapy, where I was able to experiment with various approaches, such as mindfulness meditation, hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic, holistic and conversational approaches. To this, I added my field experience as a transfeminist and queer activist by conducting awareness-raising workshops on street harassment in secondary schools, with the Parisian organization Stop Harcèlement de rue (fighting against street harassment). Then, I started a podcast called “Entre Eux Deux” (now NeuroQueer Connections), in which I interviewed people who were questioning the norms in relationships and gender. Each of these encounters has nourished my research work and my growing desire to put these skills and knowledge at the service of others.

This podcast was the catalyst. A kind of laboratory for exploration and observation, it reconnected me with a dream I’d put aside for years: to become a therapist.

In 2020, I took the plunge and resumed my studies in psycho-sexology at the Paris School of Psycho-sexology. I graduated and started my practice in 2022.
After starting my practice, I noticed some of the limitations of conversational therapy for people with traumatic experiences, which I had already noticed in my own work. My supervisor recommends strategic conversational hypnosis, also known as Reassociative Trauma Psychotherapy (PTR in French). I tried it out first as a client, and, convinced of its effectiveness, decided to train in it at the Milton H. Erickson Institute in Belgium in 2023. In addition to the initial training, I also decided to take the course on sexology, led by sexologist and hypnotherapist Valérie Doyen.
Then, in 2025, I started the Advanced Master “Sexology and Sexualities Clinic” at the Université libre in Bruxelles. My Master Thesis was dealing on the introduction of the concept of Gender Euphoria in Therapy, focusing on non-binary people. Supervised by Sandrine Detandt, I got the highest honors by the jury. This now allows me to become a member of the Belgian Association of University Sexologists, and means that part of the cost of the sessions may be reimbursed (please check with your health insurance provider).
