Ms Vanessa van Vliet

Clinical Psychologist

“An experienced psychodynamic and systemic psychotherapist for adolescents, adults and couples, also trained in criminology.”

About Me

Working with adolescents, adults, and couples, this experienced clinical psychologist helps clients navigate complex emotions and relationship dynamics. Drawing on psychodynamic and systemic approaches, they offer a space to explore how past experiences continue to influence current life. Their training in criminology adds a unique lens for understanding challenging behaviours and relational patterns. Those seeking deeper insight into themselves or their relationships will find a supportive, insightful guide.

Approach

My work moves between exploring family and inner narratives and attending to behaviours shaped by social or legal contexts, offering a pace that feels deliberate and attentive. In Horsh Tabet or online, in Arabic, English or French, sessions are steady and collaborative: you set the focus, we trace recurring patterns across weeks and plan practical steps between meetings. I use reflective questioning, timeline mapping and small behavioural experiments to clarify responses to grief, anger or trauma and, when needed, liaise with legal or medical professionals. Those navigating complex emotions and relationships often find this careful, evidence-minded rhythm helpful.
