Miss Sophie Patrick

Psychologist

“Amsterdam based psychologist with a specialisation in providing support to expats and internationals from diverse backgrounds. My expertise encompasses a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).”

About Me

Moving to a new country brings unique challenges, and expat life can feel complex. I offer a supportive space for internationals from diverse backgrounds to navigate these transitions. We can explore practical ways to manage stress and build resilience, using tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My aim is to help you adjust to Amsterdam life and truly thrive here.

Approach

Settling into life here often becomes a series of focused, practical steps that we test together in session and in your daily routines. Sessions in English, in Amsterdam or online, feel structured but flexible: we set a clear goal, try short behavioural experiments, and reflect on what shifted. Between sessions you’ll often try brief exercises or note patterns so our work stays connected to real stressors, self‑esteem moments and mood shifts. This approach suits adults and parents seeking tangible, steady change.
