"CLOSER TO LIBERTY OF ACTION"
MY PRACTICE
Individual Therapy
Are you feeling out of sorts, insecure, unsure of what you want, or is your body protesting? These are all familiar challenges that can significantly disrupt your life. In a clear and focused one-on-one setting, you have the space to share, reflect on your feelings, explore, experiment, and prepare to carry your new experiences into the 'outside world.'
Relationship Therapy
When a relationship (of any kind) is struggling, you have three options: muddle through, break it off, or investigate. In these sessions, the focus is on relearning how to understand each other, expressing your desires, and valuing your differences. Relationship therapy does not guarantee the resolution of conflicts but does ensure authenticity in your interactions. It’s available for couples, as well as siblings, parent-child relationships, and more. I offer relationship therapy together with my colleague Madeleine Maurick (Gestalt Practice Amsterdam).
Learning in a Group
A group is a microcosm of society. It encompasses everything: connection, humor, confrontation, disappointment, joy, and more. There will be people you like and others you may find challenging. If, for example, you struggle to ask for attention, this will also come up in a group setting. You experience firsthand what it does to you and what you can or cannot do. You learn with and from one another in a direct but relatively safe environment. A group possesses greater wisdom than the facilitator alone.
Learning in an Organization
An organization, at its core, is about people. One of the key pillars of any organization is contact. Contact goes beyond mere communication—it’s about respect, generosity, courage, commonalities, and differences. And this is often where things go wrong: between departments, between leadership and staff, between management and specialists, and so on.
When we can openly discuss these dynamics, energy is brought back into the organization. People naturally want to belong to an organization where they matter.
Thematic Sessions
Many people have recurring themes in their lives: relationships, money, fear, mother-daughter dynamics, shame, and so on. These themes can occupy a lot of mental and emotional space. It’s no coincidence that many writers build their entire careers around exploring a single recurring theme.
Through exercises and discussions, we examine your beliefs and desires. Perhaps certain issues can be resolved, creating space for something new. "Whatever receives attention grows." ‘Alles wat aandacht krijgt, groeit.’
