Psychologist

“A Dutch, trilingual (English, French, Dutch) FSP Psychologist, Life Coach & EMDR Practitioner, offering a variety of professional services, including Life Coaching, Adolescent Coaching, Professional Coaching, Psychological Counseling, Relationship Counseling, EMDR Therapy.”

About Me

I offer a supportive space for individuals, adolescents, and couples navigating life's complexities. As a trilingual FSP Psychologist and Life Coach, I help you gain clarity. We can address professional hurdles or relationship challenges, exploring your concerns in English, French, or Dutch. My approach blends practical coaching with psychological Counseling, using techniques like EMDR therapy to help you process past experiences and move forward.

Approach

Because I work across three languages, therapy follows whichever language helps you speak most clearly so the pace stays natural. In my Coppet office or via secure online sessions across Vaud, we balance short coaching steps, reflective counseling and focused processing when past experiences arise. Sessions are collaborative and practical: small experiments, brief mindfulness between meetings, and regular review of progress. This approach often helps adolescents, adults and couples seeking clarity, steadier relationships and relief from old patterns.
