Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed,
perhaps facing a challenging dilemma?
I work with empathy, compassion, and integrity, with each unique individual, helping you identify internalised emotions, and process your thoughts and feelings. As we work together you will connect to your core self in an authentic way, empowering clarity and growth.
Therapy
Life can sometimes lead to emotional difficulties or feelings of stress, which affect our day to day life, relationships or work. We may experience anxiety, low self-esteem, confusion, depression, addiction, suicidal thoughts or self-harm.
In the safe confidential space the therapeutic process is determined by you. You set goals to work towards and through the therapeutic relationship I facilitate your journey using creative resources and integrated theories to best meet your personal needs. This can sometimes feel challenging, but it can also be inspiring and creative, exploring internalised concerns, worries and experiences.
"Trauma is not what happens to you; trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you"

My approach
I have over 2500 hours of experience with adolescents and adults. I work with clients dealing with low self-esteem, anxiety, worry, trauma, anger and loss. I am passionate about getting to know each individual and understand what they're going through. Through creative approaches and the secure therapeutic relationship you identify and process previously internalised experiences, noticing their relation to somatic sensations in the body. Linking experiences with thoughts, feelings and body sensations allows you to connect with your inner self and notice how relational patterns evolved.
I work face-to-face in Amsterdam, with expat adolescents and adults. I also work online with clients from across Europe, which gives great flexibility in appointments.
I am an integrative therapist, utilising the therapeutic alliance, CBT, Gestalt, TA, ACT, somatic therapy and creative approaches. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)and the Nederlands Federation Gezondheid (NFG).
