Clients come to me for a variety of issues. -You get stuck in situations, feelings, thoughts and behaviors that do not serve you. - Things feel like too much or out of your control – and this causes stress. You want to deal better with ADHD or want to prevent burnout. - You want more meaningful relationships and communication with others. - You don't know exactly what's wrong. You want to feel more alive and be more in touch with yourself. I work as an Integrative Counselor and Body-Mind therapist. Both approaches are client-centered, which means that each client receives a customised plan that fits his or her unique situation. I am trained in the integrative tradition of coaching and counseling at the Dutch Academy for Psychotherapy. This approach is based on the core belief that the client naturally has all the necessary capacities within them to live a good life. It is about restoring the connection with what has been lost. Techniques used are informed by psycho-dynamic approaches, positive psychology, Jungian, and solution-oriented schools. I have also been trained in the Grinberg method by Barbara Droubay (Berlin) as a body-mind therapist, which has have provided me with the ability to track emotional patterns in the body. Many of our internal processes and patterns (behavioral, emotional, cognitive) start in our subconscious. This means that they are not (yet) accessible to your conscious mind. Fortunately, there is also our intelligent body that keeps score for us. The body remembers everything and shows where your life force is no longer flowing.
