Phobia 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.

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

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.

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.

I am a integrative therapist/psychologist. I think life can be hard (sometimes). Therapy or counselling can help you to get unstuck.

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.

Stress: from overstimulation to burnout;

* Fears: panic, phobias, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), PTSD;

* Coping with autism;

* Coping with cancer;

* Chronic pain/MUPS:

* Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS);

* Weight loss by overweight;

* Smoking cessation;

* Pregnancy support.

I am a psychologist (NIP) and ACT therapist based in Groningen. I help internationals and Dutch clients manage stress, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions. My approach combines evidence-based methods and a holistic perspective: normalizing stress, breaking rigid patterns, and using mindfulness to build resilience and reconnect with personal values.

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.

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 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!

Next free intake is on Sept 26 and Oct 16 in Maastricht, message to book.
