“I offer integrative psychological and psychosexual therapy for individuals and couples, both online and in person in Amsterdam. I draw on evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, EFT, and trauma-informed therapies, tailoring each session to your individual needs and goals.”

About me

At TLK Psychological Services, I provide comprehensive psychological and sexological care, both online and in person in Amsterdam. I support clients with a range of mental health concerns, including OCD, anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma, as well as psychosexual and relationship concerns such as sexual difficulties, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus, kink, separation, and fertility-related distress. My approach is integrative and client-centred, taking into account each person's unique experiences and needs. You don't need a diagnosis or to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. You may be navigating a period of change or uncertainty, or simply seeking personal or relationship growth. Whatever brings you to therapy, I aim to offer a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive space where you can explore your experiences and feel understood as a whole person, not just through the challenges you're facing.

Approach

I take an integrative, person-centred approach to therapy, tailoring our work to your needs rather than following a fixed model. Depending on what you'd like to explore, I may draw on CBT, ACT, Emotion Focused Therapy, trauma-informed and attachment-informed approaches, as well as methods suited to couples and psychosexual therapy, including Imago-informed relational work, sensate focus, and psychoeducation. I look beyond symptoms to understand how biological, psychological, relational, cultural, and social factors shape your mental health, sexuality, and relationships. Our sessions are collaborative and practical, combining open conversations, shared goals, and exercises that support meaningful change. We regularly review what feels helpful and adjust the pace and focus to suit you. You don't need a diagnosis or to be in crisis to start therapy. You may simply be going through a period of change, feeling uncertain about something, or wanting to better understand yourself or strengthen your relationships. I aim to keep our conversations clear, open, and grounded in what matters to you, whether we meet online or in person in Amsterdam.
