Low self esteem 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.

Understanding yourself is seeing exactly what is there. Not only from your mind, but also from your heart and your body. When there is understanding, change can appear. This is true both in relation to yourself and in relationships with important others.

Hi! I'm Alice. I provide therapy in Italian and English for adults and teenagers.

I blend empathy with insight and curiosity, bringing a nuanced understanding of mental health to support others on their path to healing, self-discovery, growth, and balance.

My name is Halima. Choosing a life of expatriation was for me, and still is, a precious journey of holding on and letting go. Not only as a person, also professionally.

I am fully certified to offer a range of selected experiential interventions such as Mindfulness, Trance, Hypnoses and Brainspotting during individual therapy sessions.

As a therapist, I aim to support people who have trouble being themselves. People who experience pressure from their environment as a burden when trying to live their own authentic life. My key life lesson is that I don’t have to ‘do it alone’.

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.

Hello, my name is Nicolette and I would like to help you. I am a Psychologist and Relationship Therapist. You can come to me with a diversity of problems. I don't think anything is strange or weird. You are welcome to talk about the things that are of concern for you.

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.

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.

Welcome to my practice for (personal) guidance, EMDR and couples therapy in Egmond aan den Hoef, close to Alkmaar and Heiloo.

Thoughts, feelings and behavior are often expressed on an unconscious level; when you become aware of what you think, feel and do, you are (also) able to change it. In other words, once it rises to the surface, you can change it!

After studying Psychology (2004) at the Vrije Universiteit, I followed a postdoctoral course in Gestalt Psychology and a master's degree in Solution-Focused Psychology.

Welcome to our psychology practice, located in the city centre of Eindhoven. Ineke and Emma are both psychologists and here te help you with all kinds of questions and problems.

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.

"It is my passion to guide people in the process of becoming aware of blockages within themselves. Without being conscious of it, you live your life according to a pattern that was once very functional but now hinders you from truly being yourself. It can impede you from leading the life you deeply desire. Together, we will discover who you are and what 'stands in your way' to be happy in a relationship and with yourself! You are welcome!"

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed?
I'm Barbara, a coach and therapist offering professional support for young adults (18+) and adults facing life's challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, sadness, relationship issues, or simply feeling lost, I can help you find clarity and move forward with confidence. My approach combines practical coping strategies with a deeper understanding of your unique situation. In a safe and supportive space, we'll explore the roots of your concerns and empower you to create positive change.

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.

In my coaching practice I guide you through the process in your own pace, doing research together in what it is that is holding you back, bothering you, troubling you or what is is you actually want. There are a lot of methods and techniques and I use a lot of them. But I never do the same thing twice...because every person, situation and moment ask for a different approach. I will look, listen and challenge you. Every step is a step to getting closer to the person you want to be in a situation you can deal with. Welcome!!

Psychologist specialized in burnout and stress. You can get an intake interview within a week. Extra: Lots of experience with people on the autism spectrum.

Hi! If you're an expat/international, and are struggling with your mental health, then you're welcome at my practice in Leiden! I am an international psychologist (Indian) and having been through the struggles that most expats face, I am able to empathise with those themes. My basis lies in the client-centered approach (holding genuineness, empathy and unconditional positive regard at its core). Building on that I use CBT, Schema Therapy and ACT. I offer individual therapy and relationship therapy in English and Hindi.

As a coach, therapist and trainer, I help people who are stuck in their lives to find a way out to more confidence, peace, balance and fun. By gaining insight into your entrenched patterns of thinking, feeling and behaviour, you can make better choices, get a better grip on your life and initiate the change you want.

Clients often come to me for: personal development, stress and burnout, work-related issues, relationship problems, anxiety, insecurity, low self-esteem, major changes, trauma processing, phobias, grief.

I care about Mental Health as well as understand that personal struggles have an impact on our emotional and psychological well-being. In other words, "how you feel about yourself on an individual basis matters to mental health"

My experience as a counselling psychologist has made me understand that; "there is no right way to see and experience the world". This is why I employ integrative strategies with specialisation in multicultural counselling and psychology.

Individuals, Couples and Families are always WELCOME!
