About me

Hi there! I am Yashna :)

I am a clinical psychologist with a deep ambition to acknowledge that every individual has their own unique journey and story which deserves to be heard. Therefore, I believe in the power of tailor-made support and therapy.

Originally from India, I have found a home in the Netherlands ever since I moved here in 2018. I have firsthand experience with how life can be living away from home and having to acclimatize to new surroundings and people, especially in places where you may not speak the language. It can be a daunting experience.

I have personal experience with grief and loneliness and further explored these topics in my masters thesis. I would describe myself first and foremost as curious. I am curious to get to know you and understand your thoughts, emotions and behavior in a holistic manner. I believe that is the future of psychotherapy.

I believe that self-reflection is a baseline step towards making and facilitating change and understanding oneself. I aspire to help normalize and have honest and open conversations about vulnerability, resilience, grief, loneliness and mental health in general.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.

I'm trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a leading evidence based therapy in the field that recognizes that our thoughts can influence our emotions thus subsequently influencing our behaviors.

However, I am also very interested in approaches such as emotion focussed therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Music therapy and Psychodynamic therapy. I believe in using a holistic approach in therapy and combine different aspects from various therapies based on what is a best fit for each individual person.

My goal is to inspire vulnerability in a safe and open environment where all feelings and emotions are valid and to really understand your story and whatever problems you may be facing and want to address, thus, I believe in a collaborative approach between the therapist and client.

Also available for a brief (free of charge) introductory meeting of 30 minutes to see if we are a match :)
