There are areas in your life in which you experience difficulties or that are a cause of suffering. I am offering you a non judgmental space in which our first goal will be to reach a clear understanding of your situation and the challenges you are facing. We will develop a common language for those challenges, a language that will help you understand the patterns behind your suffering and also lets us define the changes you would like to experience. While current events may be a trigger for suffering, most of the time this suffering sits on top of certain patterns that have been formed a long time ago. If current events cannot fully explain the intensity of what you are experiencing we will have a deeper look at past experiences.

My background lies in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That means in working with you, we will look at your thoughts, emotions and actions to make to get a deeper understanding of the current situation. Hereby you will not be reduced to a list of symptoms, but we will try to understand their function too. When necessary, we will include Mindfulness based practices and role playing exercices. These can allow you to experience deeper levels of your self and to bring those patterns to the surface. The nature of these deeper layers of the psyche are often closely related to your personal history. Therefore i focus in my work as much on the here and now as on your past (and future). I believe that anyone can benefit from a therapeutic relationship and that my support will allow you to initiate a process of personal growth that will reduce your suffering and increase your sense of well-being
