Has thinking stopped helping?
English-speaking therapy in Amsterdam.
A calmer, clearer way to understand what’s happening inside.
You might be holding things together on the surface, while inside something will not quite settle.
Maybe you have been thinking your way through it, hoping it would shift on its own. But the pressure, emotion, or confusion has not gone away, and managing it alone is tiring.
Therapy offers a calm, private space to understand what is happening underneath. My approach is steady, present-moment and trauma-informed. We work at a pace that feels manageable, following what is alive in you now.
Many people notice more space inside, clearer feelings and a steadier sense of themselves as we work together.
How I work.
We don’t begin by digging into the past.
We start with what’s already here, a feeling, a reaction, or something that’s hard to name, and explore what’s at the heart of it.
My approach is present-moment, trauma-informed, and grounded in body-mind awareness. It’s based on Core Process Psychotherapy, with influences from IFS parts-work, somatic experiencing, and Focusing.
Who I help.
I work with people who are:
Carrying a lot in busy lives.
Thinking their way through things or feeling everything at once.
Overwhelmed by pressure, emotion, or intensity.
Sensing something underneath that they can’t quite name.
Looking for deeper understanding, not just a short-term fix.
Many expats also find it a relief to speak in English with someone who understands the experience of living abroad.
