About Me

I am a counselor and hypnotherapist based near Amersfoort, close to Utrecht, in the Netherlands. In my practice I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma, or relationship difficulties. Many of my clients are professionals and expats living in the Netherlands who are navigating life transitions, stress, or recurring emotional patterns. Often people reach out when talking alone no longer seems enough and they want to work more deeply with recurring emotional patterns or unresolved experiences. In my work I practice integrative psychotherapy and combine this with EMDR therapy and hypnotherapy. This approach allows us to go beyond insight alone and work with emotional processing, deeper patterns, and regulation of the nervous system. Together we explore what may be happening beneath the surface and work toward meaningful and lasting change. I offer a short introductory conversation to explore whether therapy feels like a good fit. Sessions are available in English, Dutch, and Afrikaans, both in person near Amersfoort and through online therapy across the Netherlands.
