Abuse Counselling & Therapy

We all run into problems every day. Some are easier to resolve or deal with than others, but no matter where an experience is on the continuum from mildly problematic to traumatic, there is a way back to regulation if we understand how the nervous system works. As we learn to become friends with our nervous system and anchor ourselves in a safe state of the autonomic nervous system, the inevitable challenges in our daily lives are no longer nearly as terrifying. We discover we can recover even from traumatic events.

Are you looking to live life to the fullest, boost your confidence, increase energy levels, connect with your emotions, or seek guidance for the next steps in your life or career?
Together, we'll delve into your intrusive thoughts, the emotions that are linked to those thoughts, coping strategies, physical symptoms, secondary gains, core believes, goals, and reason d'être.

Interested in hypnotherapy or psychosocial therapy? As a 20+ years experienced hypnotherapist I welcome you in my practice in Arnhem or online.

The first and most important step in finding a good therapist is to experience that you are safe. We will work on the subjects that you choose, at your moment and in your pace. No forcing, stretching, or suffering, but a light, gentle, respectful, and very effective approach.

Sessions are available with or without hypnosis - you can choose - and in Arnhem or online.

Every person experiences times in his or her life when things are going not so well. Times of fear, uncertainty or sadness. Dissatisfaction about yourself or contact with others, suffering from old patterns or unprocessed feelings. Sometimes you keep postponing decisions or something happens that turns your life upside down.
This can manifest itself in emotional and physical complaints.

These times are part of a human life. They help you to slow down, evaluate and work to move forward differently but in a better way.

If you are looking for an experienced and recognized therapist / coach, then you are at the right place with me.

Usually, an appointment can be made within two weeks - there is no waiting list - and we start the first session with an insightful conversation where we get to know each other.

The practice in Den Bosch is centrally located and easily accessible by train, car, or bicycle.

Hi, I am İlkim, a licensed psychologist based in the Hague, Netherlands.
As someone who is international in the Netherlands I know the unique mental health challenges this brings. I strongly believe therapy can support us in navigating through the waves of life by enhancing our psychological resilience. By cultivating resilience we go beyond surviving the challenges, we transcend them. We learn to surf the waves, accept what we can’t change and change what we can't accept.

Please feel welcome at my practice for psychosocial therapy, coaching, hypnotherapy and EMDR. My name is Mirjam and I am specialized in physical complaints, processing emotional events and exploring answers to life’s questions.

Do you long for a relationship in which you feel close and live your potential? In which you feel loved, supported and share your responsibility for creating a loving relationship? In which you can discuss sensitive issues with each other without endless fights? Do you want to regain trust in each other after infidelity? And want to revive your sex life? (creating intimacy is part of the answer)
It is possible and I would love to guide you in this journey.

Are you experiencing stress or anxiety, feeling burned out, or still struggling with trauma or personal loss? Or are you facing work-related problems that you can no longer manage on your own? My goal is to truly understand your personal story and help you process what you have been through. Together, we work on increasing your insight, skills, and self-confidence, and on achieving your goals.

Sometimes you can lose the connection with yourself. You run into the same problems over and over again in your work, your health, your relationship or your family. You want to change, but you don't know how to do it differently. In my practice, I’ll teach you to look at your patterns and obstacles with understanding and empathy and determine the underlying need that drives them. By learning how to fulfill this need yourself, you can choose to act differently and you’ll be able to reconnect with yourself again and others

Review: “I trust her as a therapist”

After my clinical psychology studies i searched for an integration of psychology and spirituality, as I felt that the usual methods of psychotherapy often are treating symptoms instead of the sources of their arising. Nowadays I use a combination of mindfulness/presence and body-centered awareness as my main method of therapy/healing. With this method many symptoms or 'complaints' can be healed and it offers also a different and much more loving way of being with our self and our shadowsides.

I am a registered psychotherapist and the last years I have been working with expats in different mental health organisations in the Netherlands. Therapy is possible in Greek, English and Dutch.

Sometimes life gets stuck—in your relationship, your family, or within yourself. Change starts with self-awareness. As a Psychosocial and Gestalt Therapist, I help you gain clarity and take steps toward growth and healing. With a background in corporate coaching and training, I combine therapeutic methods like EFT, CBT, and body-focused work. My approach is direct, warm, and down-to-earth, with space for humor and deep insight.
