About me

I am a licensed psychologist and relationship counsellor from the Netherlands. I provide therapy sessions online in both English and Dutch.

I specialise in helping individuals and couples navigate through various challenges - from attachment issues and relationship challenges to grief, loss of connection and emotional disconnection . I also have extended experience working with ADHD and its effects on relationships, in my professional career as well as in my personal life (a husband with ADHD). I personally understand the challenges of living in a country that is not your own and of living in an intercultural relationship.

I listen without judgement and often hear from clients that I use a warm but direct style. I'm here to help you identify and understand what you're going through, guiding you towards overcoming the challenges you're facing.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
My approach is based on the client-centered and emotion centered therapy. I integrate these scientifically proven approaches and maintain a holistic view of body and mind. This means that I pay attention to the whole of you: your body, your feelings, your thoughts and your relationships.

A lot of therapists, including myself, have been captivated by the way of working with Emotionally Focussed Therapy by Sue Johnsen: with focus on emotions and attachment style, we can restore the connection within one person and between two people.
Adding client-centered therapy results in therapy in which the therapeutic relationship is a safe homebase. This brings unconditional acceptance and authenticity from both client and therapist. Understanding of (internal) communication and processes, underlying emotions and desires, and the believe in your own restorative power is the perfect recipe for growth.

In my work with couples we will identify problematic patterns and dynamics in your relationship, so that we establish a stronger, emotional connection in your relationship. This will make your foundations even stronger and let you grow as a couple.
