Ms Johanna Perschl

Psychologist

“I offer a safe space to duscuss anything you would like to talk about. With trainings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Accpetance and Commitment Therapy, I like to work together as team to see how we can improve your quality of life.”

About Me

I aim to create a truly safe and open space where you feel comfortable discussing any concerns. Working collaboratively, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, drawing on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Together, we will discover practical ways to navigate challenges and improve your daily quality of life. This approach suits those seeking a supportive partnership to make meaningful changes.

Approach

When we meet, my focus is on how we can translate your concerns into manageable steps so therapy feels practical and paced to you. In Leiden or online in English or German, sessions move between gentle reflection, clear skill-practice, and brief check-ins that help you apply changes between appointments. I use assessments and tailored exercises to track thinking, memory, and daily functioning, then adjust our plan with your feedback. This way of working tends to suit adults and older clients seeking steady, concrete progress.
