Are you looking for an English-speaking therapist in Den Bosch?
I offer therapy, couples therapy and coaching in English for expats, internationals and other English-speaking clients at my practice in the Paleiskwartier in Den Bosch.
My approach is practical, open and goal-oriented. Together, we look at what is going on, what may be keeping the problem in place and what can help you move forward.
Individual therapy in English
You can contact me with a wide range of personal and psychological issues.
For example, I can support you with:
- anxiety, panic attacks and phobias;
- stress and burnout;
- trauma and difficult past experiences;
- insecurity and low self-esteem;
- grief, loss and loneliness;
- depression and feeling stuck;
- perfectionism and difficulty setting boundaries;
- work-related problems;
- recurring patterns or beliefs that hold you back;
- questions about personal development and meaning.
You don't need to know beforehand exactly what kind of therapy you need. We can first explore what is happening and decide which approach is most appropriate for you.
Couples therapy in English
I have been working with couples since 2007 and also offer couples therapy in English.
Couples come to me for many different reasons. You may have recurring arguments, feel that you no longer understand each other or have gradually grown apart. Trust may have been damaged, or you may be struggling with different expectations about your relationship or future.
Other issues can include infidelity, intimacy and sexuality, children or former partners, or doubts about whether you want to stay together.
In couples therapy, the aim is not to determine who is right or wrong. We look at what is happening between you, which patterns keep returning and what each of you needs in order to understand the other better.
Hypnotherapy and EMDR
Depending on your situation, I can use different therapeutic approaches.
I am a qualified hypnotherapist and can use hypnotherapy for issues such as anxiety, stress, insecurity, unwanted habits and difficult emotional experiences.
I also work with EMDR. EMDR can be helpful when memories of traumatic or distressing experiences continue to cause strong emotions or anxiety.
Therapy does not have to follow one fixed method. Insightful conversations, hypnotherapy, EMDR and coaching can be used separately or combined, depending on what fits your situation.
Coaching in English
Sometimes you are not looking for therapy but for someone who can help you look at your situation from a different perspective.
I also offer personal and professional coaching in English. This can be useful when you are facing an important decision, repeatedly encounter the same patterns, want to make changes in your work or career, or would benefit from an independent sparring partner.
My background in both coaching and management allows me to work with personal as well as professional questions.
Therapy for expats and internationals
Living in another country can add an extra dimension to problems you are already dealing with.
You may be far away from family and friends, have to find your place in a different culture or experience challenges in an intercultural relationship. Work, relocation, homesickness or feeling lonely can also play a role.
These issues do not always have to be the main reason for seeking therapy, but it can be helpful to discuss them in a language in which you can comfortably express what you think and feel.
