Individual Therapy & Coaching
You want to live in freedom and loving connection. Not limited by stress, trauma or your history.
If you are experiencing a lot of stress or are not comfortable in your own skin, it may be good to get help from a professional. I can help you discover exactly what you want. So you can take the right steps towards a fulfilling life.
With me, everything can be discussed and nothing is taboo. That means that even things you find difficult to discuss with others are welcome.
Such matters can be about relationships, intimacy and sexuality, working life or connecting with yourself.
I offer trauma-sensitive body-oriented coaching and therapy. Practically, this means: we combine talking and analysing with connecting with the body, feelings and emotions. We translate this into concrete practical steps.
-
Are you struggling to figure out what you really want and to make choices?
Do you have a hard time sensing and expressing your boundaries?
Is it difficult for you to connect with your body on a deeper level?
Would you rather avoid uncomfortable emotions like anger, fear or sadness?
-
Do you find yourself not feeling well?
Do you have trouble sleeping and do you worry a lot?
Do you regularly feel overwhelmed and irritable?
Do you experience a lot of stress or are you balancing on the edge of a burn-out?
Would you like to learn how to release excess tension from your body?
-
Are you running into trauma and triggers in different types of relationships, including friendships, loving relationships and even in the workplace?
Would you like to learn more about consent and attunement, and how to apply this in your relationship(s)?
Do you have a hard time expressing vulnerability, perhaps as a result of previous unpleasant relational experiences?
Are you interested in discovering which relationship form suits you best, such as (non-)monogamy or polyamory?
-
Are you longing for more pleasure and enjoyment in your sex life? Would you like to learn more about how your body functions and how to experience delicious intimate touch?
Do you experience shame surrounding (sexual) preferences you have? Do you wish to learn to relate to these and find a way to accept them?
Do you and your partner(s) have different sexual needs or is there a difference in sexual desire between you?
Would you like help with your sexuality, such as pain during intercourse, difficulty getting or keeping an erection, reaching orgasm (too) quickly or with difficulty?
-
Are you at a crossroads in your personal or professional life? Looking for what really motivates you so you can take the right next step?
Do you feel a desire for change and growth, but are not sure where to start?
Does it seem at times that you have no control over your own life, and would you like to take back that control?
You're welcome to bring counselling questions around themes such as stress, feelings, desires and boundaries, relating, trauma, consent, sexuality and life choices.
Everything is welcome!
Many of my clients come to me because previous psychologists or coaches were unable to talk about certain preferences or orientations without judgement and with ease.
With me, you are allowed to talk, think and experience openly and freely. I listen to you and I ask you questions, to make things as clear and concrete as possible. I mirror you and help you reflect. So you can gain insights. And regain control over your life.
My attitude is: curious, non-judgmental and action-oriented.
I deliver tailored guidance, attuned to your specific needs.
Individual therapy
-
We combine thinking (cognitive insight) with feeling (awareness of physical sensations and emotions) once you are up for it. We work at your pace and within your limits.
My aim is to provide a safe space, without judgements and full of curiosity. Everything can be discussed and is welcome.
We start with an intake session. We then go into your request for help and your background and we formulate the desired positive outcome you want to work towards. We also agree on how we want to work together.
During the follow-up sessions, we address your issue. For example, we meet every 2 weeks for a 1.5-hour session. This can be done online or in my practice in Amersfoort.
-
You gain insight into your beliefs and behavioural patterns (because everything starts with awareness)
You get in touch with your body and learn to interpret its signals
You learn to deal with stress and know how to make timely adjustments to prevent frustration and overstrain
You explore emotions and learn how to deal with them constructively (because they don't have to disappear)
You investigate the meaning of traumas you have suffered and learn to live life fully, all inclusive (because there is nothing wrong with you)
You dare to stand up for yourself, because you know what you want and what you desire
You discover your limits and know how to recognise, name and guard them
You become attuned to your inner wisdom and strength and dare to trust your feelings
You take responsibility for your life and how you live it by using your own leadership
You dare to lovingly connect with others, despite your fears or hurts from your past
You dare to be vulnerable and open, so that others can truly connect with you

I have experience in counselling people from very diverse cultural and social backgrounds ranging from 22 to 60 years old.
I see people with trauma; people who identify as male, female, non-binary or genderfluid; cis and trans individuals; highly gifted, high-sensitives; people who are monogamous, polyamorous, swinger or otherwise non-monogamous; people who have specific (sexual) preferences that they find difficult to address with many other psychologists and counsellors.
I am okay with kink, with non-monogamy as well as monogamy, and with all ways of discovering your own identity and desires.

I am available for sessions Monday through Friday during the day. I deliberately do not work evenings or weekends; sufficient free time supports the quality of my guidance.

You may choose to come by my practice in Amersfoort (Gangboord 47) or do online sessions (via Teams). A combination of both also works fine.

I do not charge for appointments cancelled more than 48 hours in advance. If cancelled after this period, regardless of the reason, the full amount will be charged.Payment
Shortly after scheduling a session, you will receive an invoice by email. Payment must be received by me no later than 48 hours before the start of the session.Conditions 3-session-series
The full amount is to be paid before the start of the first session in this series. Sessions are personal and therefore non-transferable. This series is valid for 5 months after payment (so sessions must take place in that period). Sessions are non-refundable if not taken up.
