Quote: 'Never fear to deliberately walk through dark places, for that is how you reach the light on the other side'

Quote: Vernon Howard

Research shows that you experience a life-event average every two or three Years. This impact offers you the opportunity to deal with it in a positive way. However, once every four or five times in your life you experience something thats impacts your life in a fundamental way. At such a moment, you are forced to change things.

Personal assistance

In order to give clients a better understanding of themselves and develop a different attitude towards life situations, I use the latest developments and the most appropriate, effective methods in the psychological field. This works best when there is a pleasant therapeutic connection between client and therapist, whether it seems like a small problem or a traumatic experience.

So I do my very best for that.

Together we can contribute to the acceptance of new life situations.
The type of treatment you want will be tailored to your situation in consultation.

Therapy

The therapy sessions will take place in your own environment, for we work together online. We will work on solving current problems and improving positive thinking and behavior.

You will receive help in finding ways to deal with unpleasant things and negative events and to look positively to the future. This is possible with Smarttapping and EMDR or in the classic ACT way.
