I was born and raised in New Zealand from European expat parents and have been living in the Netherlands for the past three years. Therefore, as an expat myself I have focused my practice to helping international students and expats. Of course, you are also welcome if you do not fall within this target group. Realistic goals During our first appointment I am interested in getting to get to know you and how we can best work together. You can just tell your story and I will make sure it comes in the right category on paper - from home to leisure. I am curious if you have seen a therapist before and what you feel was helpful or unhelpful. We set realistic goals and work together. Respect, trust, openness, understanding, perseverance and cooperation are the keywords to build up our therapeutic relationship. Recharge yourself My practice is a place where you can recharge. A place where you feel good and are free to talk about what's going on and dig deep into the difficult stuff. A bleak sterile environment does not suit my style of mental health care. I feel that you need to feel comfortable and safe to be able to let your guard down and express your vulnerabilities. Shyla If you do visit my practice in person, Shyla (my dog) will also be around to aid in your trajectory. I have been taking her into my work from an early age and that has had lovely results. She is very calm, has soft hypoallergenic wool, and automatically brings you to the present. If you like, she is lying on the couch next to you, otherwise she will sleep peacefully in her basket.

Niet alle programma’s worden vergoed vanuit je basisverzekering. De bekendste voorbeelden zijn relatietherapie, rouwverwerking en burn-out. Je kan er ook voor kiezen om de sessies zelf te betalen.

Mijn ervaring en specialisatie

My specialization is with the Queer and Trans* community - specifically in gender dysphoria, also from my own experience. In addition, I would be happy to guide you if you experience depressive or anxious symptoms, work, study or home stress / burnouts, low self-esteem, trauma and PTSD, homesickness, adjustment difficulties, assertiveness, compulsory complaints, sleeping problems, procrastination and more. Please feel free to ask if you are not sure whether I can help you! Your own expert I mostly work with a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR and mindfulness, depending on what your goals and needs are. However, I strongly believe that everyone is their own expert and therefore you know will have an idea of which direction you need to travel. I will help guide you, and, the hard work needs to be done by you.
