Cas Hebbink

Through my experience, studies and therapeutic work, I've learned about the human psyche, behavioural change, emotional regulation, mindfulness, honest communication, trauma processing, somatic experiencing, problem-solving, authentic relating and the healing power of loving relationships, and the importance of taking responsibility for one's life and accepting who one is. During my psychology studies, I gained the most from setting up and participating in a peer-support group where we openly explored our experiences. I learned to cultivate attitudes of unconditional positive regard, genuineness and empathic understanding towards myself and others. I learned how to receive others more wholly and help them come closer to themselves by immersing myself in their experience as best as I could. During my work as a counsellor, I've worked with people from all over the world from various backgrounds dealing with a wide range of problems related to work, relationships, substance use, (developmental) trauma, emotional neglect, racism and other forms of discrimination, low self-worth, lack of meaning, depression, suicidality, anxiety, feeling and expressing emotions, standing up for oneself, obsessions, compulsions and much more.
