Hi!
My name is Bibiana, but everyone calls me Sissi. I’m an NIP-registered therapist based in the Netherlands.
I was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, I moved to Amsterdam to pursue my studies in psychology, and I’ve called this city home ever since. Having navigated the challenges of being an expat myself, I deeply understand the emotional complexities of starting over—loneliness, uncertainty, and the search for belonging.
I hold a BSc in Psychology from the University of Amsterdam, where I specialized in clinical psychology and psychological methods. I continued my academic journey with an MSc in Clinical Psychology at Utrecht University, graduating with distinction from both universities.
2024 – Internship at Amsterdam Medical Centre (AMC), in the Gynecology and Sexology Department, focusing on the physiological differences of pre- and post-menopausal women. 2024 – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Training 2024 – Schema Therapy Training (Schematherapie Opleidingen) 2025 – Kinsey Institute – Human Sexuality Intensive Training 2025 - EMDR Institute, founded by Francine Shapiro - EMDR Basic training 2026 - Gottman - Level 1 & Level 2 training
As a clinical psychologist, I am deeply committed to evidence-based practice. I have a strong passion for psychology research, I will probably bombard you with psychology fun facts during our sessions!
Beyond the scientific foundation of my work, I also believe in a holistic approach to therapy. Mental well-being is not just about cognitive processes—it is deeply connected to the body, habits, and daily life. In my practice, I focus on integrating these worlds.
In my practice, I use techniques from Schema Therapy, EMDR, CBT, Gottman method and Sexual Psychology.

Boring but important bits - payment & cancellation: Sessions are privately paid and not covered by national health insurance, though some private insurers may offer coverage; please check with your provider.

I have been working as a private therapist for the past year, providing evidence-based psychological support to individuals. My practice focuses on schema therapy and relationship dynamics.
Prior to this, I completed my clinical internship at the Amsterdam UMC, where I trained under a sexual psychologist. We conducted MRI research looking at the physiological changes on the clitoris between pre-and post-menopausal women.
Additionally, I have experience in psychiatric volunteer work in Hungary, where I supported individuals facing severe mental health challenges.
