Counselling:

Life can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to navigate it alone. In these difficult times we all need a little kindness, a listening ear and a safe space to express what is in our hearts and minds. The counselling environment provides a safe haven to explore our thoughts, re-frame our perspectives, and gain valuable insights during different phases of our lives.

Why choose counselling? 

Sometimes we feel stuck, experience anxiety and stress and struggle to cope during challenging times. The demands and balance between family- and work life can also be overwhelming and put our relationships at risk. Counselling provides valuable support, helps improve our mood and communication skills, and promotes healthier relationships. In addition, it contributes to better self-confidence, self-insight, positive self-talk and inner motivation. Through counselling you get the opportunity to self-reflect and gain valuable insights and much needed perspectives.

Have you immigrated recently? 

I’ve walked similar paths myself after our immigration - struggling with belonging, learning new languages, and finding a sense of home. That’s why creating a safe, compassionate space matters to me. If you’ve recently immigrated, you may feel overwhelmed by the challenges of adapting to a new culture, learning a new language, and being separated from family. Immigration brings a mix of changes, laughter, and adventure, but it also presents significant challenges. We understand these struggles intimately, having faced similar hurdles in our own immigration journeys and the difficulties each of our family members encountered during the integration process.

Sessions & Process
Sessions are offered both online and in person and typically last between 50 and 60 minutes.
After you make contact, we usually begin with an initial intake session, along with an intake form, to gain a clear understanding of your needs and goals. This first meeting provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, ask questions, and explore how I can best support you.
Following the intake, we will agree together on a suitable treatment plan and the estimated number of sessions, tailored to your individual situation.
Depending on your supplementary health insurance (aanvullende zorgverzekering), sessions may be partially reimbursed. Please check directly with your insurer for details regarding coverage.
My aim is to offer a supportive, confidential, and professional space where you can explore your concerns at your own pace. 

If at any point it becomes clear that additional or specialized support is needed, I may refer you to your general practitioner (huisarts) or a clinical psychologist.
If you feel unable to cope or are experiencing a crisis, please contact 0800-0113. (24/7 available)
Support is also available through VeiligThuis: 0800-2000 (24/7 available) for concerns related to safety at home. Your well being and safety are always a priority.
