About me
I am Alina, a thoughtful psychologist living and working in the Netherlands. My passion for psychology began at a young age, which led me to study Psychology at Erasmus University Rotterdam. I then completed my Master’s with a focus on Occupational Health Psychology, shaping my strong interest in the connection between mental wellbeing, work, and everyday life.
I then completed my post-master specialisation as psychotherapist in Integrative Psychotherapy. This means that I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. I work flexibly and draw on different therapeutic methods, adapting my support to what you need and to a pace that feels right for you.
Having lived as an expat for 12 years, I have a deep understanding of the challenges that come with adjusting to new countries, cultures, and languages. My practice is therefore well suited to supporting fellow expats, offering guidance and support during these transitions. But it also means that I very comfortable working with people from different countries and cultures.
Alongside my private practice, I currently work within a Dutch company as a prevention officer, where I focus on mental health and wellbeing of my colleagues. This role gives me a clear and practical understanding of workplace dynamics, stress, burnout prevention, and the challenges of modern working life.
In my practice, I aim to offer a warm, reflective, and non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported. I work collaboratively, helping people gain insight, build resilience, and move towards a more balanced and fulfilling life. I believe that meaningful change happens within a relationship built on trust, safety, and genuine human connection.

Approach
Integrative therapy focuses on understanding the many layers that shape our lives, including how we think and feel, our physical wellbeing, our relationships, and our personal values or sense of meaning. Instead of looking at difficulties from a single angle, it takes a broad and compassionate view, helping bring clarity and new perspectives.
In my work, I use a mix of therapeutic approaches such as Transactional Analysis, CBT, Gestalt therapy, trauma-informed work, and a psychosomatic perspective. I adapt these methods to you, your goals, and the pace that feels right for you.
Sessions are available in fluent English and in Romanian, my native language. I also speak Dutch at a conversational level, but therapy sessions are not conducted in Dutch. My practice currently takes place online, but meeting physically is also possible. Additionaly, there is the option for therapeutic walks, which involves therapy where sessions take place while walking together. I believe in this type of therapy because gentle physical movement helps regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and can make it easier to access and process emotions.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute introductory consultation online, giving us the opportunity to connect and see whether working together feels like a good match.
I look forward to supporting you as you work towards greater self-understanding, balance, and wellbeing.
