Benedicta serebour

I am a mental health professional based in the Netherlands with more than five years of experience working in mental health care. During this time, I have supported clients facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, motivational struggles, low self-esteem, and trust issues. I also have extensive experience working with families and young people. I understand how important it is to create a safe and supportive environment where people feel heard and understood whether it involves navigating parent–child relationships or supporting young people who are trying to find their place in the world. Much of my work has involved supporting individuals struggling with anxiety disorders and depressive symptoms. Sometimes these difficulties are clearly visible, but often they appear through patterns such as perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing, or the tendency to constantly take care of others. I also work with clients who experience emotional exhaustion, a sense of inner emptiness, or questions around identity, especially after long periods of pushing through life on autopilot. In my work, we often explore how past experiences can continue to influence the present. Patterns that once helped someone cope may later become limiting. Together we work to understand these patterns, create space for your feelings and needs, and gradually reconnect with your authentic self and personal strengths.
