A happier, richer and more meaningful life is possible.

You haven’t been your usual self lately. Perhaps you are in a challenging situation, or you are feeling down, anxious, irritable. Maybe you feel unable to see what to do or where to go next.

You just want to be happy.

It’s perfectly normal to get stuck sometimes, or to feel a bit lost and looking for help.

I believe that everyone has certain "tools" or mental strategies to deal with difficulties. We learn these very early on, and tend to use them all our lives. There is a risk of getting stuck if the circumstances (or we ourselves) change in such a way that these tools no longer work.

Together we will explore how you look at things and what exactly does no longer work. We investigate how the past still determines your behaviour today. In doing so, we always keep our eye on the future. Together we will look for what you really want in your life and how you can live a happier and more meaningful life. At the same time, we will explore how you can better deal with difficult and painful thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness is an important tool in this.

Depending on your questions and your situation we can focus more on a therapeutic approach, or rather work in a coaching way. This can also change throughout the process.

Creating a flexible toolbox

I work with ‘Acceptance & Commitment Therapy’ (ACT) and Process Based Behavioral Therapy (PBBT). These are contemporary forms of cognitive behavioural therapy.

Using these pragmatic methodologies, we’ll make sure that you can overcome this difficult moment in your life. By developing a psychological “toolbox” that supports you in the most flexible and helpful way possible. And that makes you more resilient as well, knowing how to handle difficulties in the future.
