As a psychologist & coach, my goal is to support you in overcoming your obstacles, regaining your strength & growing beyond your limits. Everyone carries their own burdens – let’s carry yours together! Ready, set, GROW💪
🫶 I stand for EMPATHY | HONESTY | OPENNESS
Hello, my name is Saskia. I am a psychologist and coach – but above all, I am someone who listens without judgment. If you’re looking for a space where you can truly be yourself, where you can express your thoughts freely without fear of being judged, then you’ve come to the right place. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel understood, accepted, and at ease.
My own journey hasn’t always been easy. Originally from Hanover, I made a big decision in 2014 after completing my vocational training: I took a completely new direction and left my old life behind to study in the Netherlands. Without family support, facing financial insecurity and health challenges, it was a time full of obstacles. On top of that, I lost my parents at an early age, so I know firsthand what it feels like to feel lost, not knowing what to do or to stand alone and to lack a sense of security (whether from external circumstances or within yourself).
Over the years, I have realized that everyone carries their own burdens. We all face limits, struggle with self-doubt, or sometimes feel lost. That’s why I firmly believe that we can all benefit from support—whether through a coach, a mentor, or simply someone who walks a part of the journey with us. It is my passion to help people overcome their challenges, regain their strength, and grow beyond their limits.
Beyond my work, I am an honest, loyal, and empathetic person who is always up for a good laugh. I love traveling, hiking, jogging, and mountain biking—and, of course, enjoying great food!
🚀 My Approach & Our Journey Together
Everyone carries their own story – and that’s exactly where we begin. My coaching follows a holistic approach, drawing from various psychological and coaching methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Positive Psychology. We focus on your strengths and the factors you can control. Depending on your needs, our sessions may center on problem-solving or personal growth – but ultimately, it’s your actions that drive change. Transformation happens through your own commitment, and I’m here to support you with guidance and clarity. Building a trusting relationship is essential to me, which is why I recommend an initial, no-obligation session to see if we are a good fit.
📆 How & When – Session Structure & Frequency
Of course, everything we discuss remains strictly confidential. I take notes during our sessions, which I will share with you as an action plan. Our meetings typically last one hour, though 90-minute sessions are also available. You decide on the frequency – at the beginning, I recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions to create momentum. Later, we can switch to monthly or three-weekly meetings. I offer flexible scheduling so we can find what works best for you.
📄 Other Important Details – Payment & Cancellations
Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance; otherwise, the full session fee will be charged. The sessions are not covered by health insurance and must be paid in advance via invoice or PayPal.
