PSYCHOLOGY

Clinical psychology helps you to relieve psychologically-based distress to promote subjective well-being and personal development. It is an integration of science, theory and clinical practice.

As a psychologist I take a holistic approach in which I take your mind, body, emotions and spiritual life into account to help you become more whole again. I look at all areas of your life.

I help you to process your feelings and experiences and I guide you from the dark back into the light.

If you answered yes to any of the above questions or if you have other questions that you would like to look at, feel free to contact me and we can see if we are a right fit to work together.

In my work as a psychologist I work with several treatment methods. I am constantly learning and developing myself to know about the latest methods and to get better at what I do.

I work with EMDR therapy, because it is fast, efficient and effective and scientifically proven as a method to treat trauma and other symptoms. Other trauma treatments are also possible.

I work with acceptance and commitment therapy to help you to get more in tune with living in acceptance of all your emotions and mental states and to commit to living a life according to your values.

I love to help you to become more mindful and self compassionate and to help you ground yourself more in your body, mind and emotions to live a more balanced life.

After you have contacted me and we have decided to work together, we plan an intake online or face to face in the city center of the Hague in my private practice or we go for a walk on the beach or in the forest to get to know each other and to understand what you are struggling with and how I can help you best.

We will make a plan that suits your needs and we will look at what you need
to start feeling better again.

If you have a Dutch health insurance the costs can be partially reimbursed by your health insurance with a referral letter from your general practitioner.

I work together with Psyche en Zwangerschap (Psyche and Pregnancy) with a group of dedicated psychologists to help women with mental health problems during fertility problems, pregnancy, postpartum and during the early years of motherhood.

Before working with women in this phase of life I have worked for a long time at the Military Mental Health Care as a military psychologist to help men and women with all kinds of mental health problems, including post traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, burn out, relationship problems etc.
