Nicolette | Psychologist / Relationship Therapist
Introduction
My name is Nicolette, living in Sprundel with a psychologist practice and relationship therapy office in Breda.
Originally I am from North Holland, born in Wognum, but have lived in the south of Holland for many years. In the past I was often confided in by people with problems and that got me thinking.
I wanted to do something with people. I was always interested in how it is that someone behaves the way someone behaves and the motivations/feelings of others.
Nothing is what it seems, and nothing is as obvious as we think. Every person has a backpack, even if you wouldn't say so from the outside. I also believe that every person has all kinds of good qualities. That too is something that people are not always aware of. Among other things, I am looking for those good qualities.
Being judgment-free is very important to me. No matter what I am told, I am open to you, no one has to be ashamed. By now I have heard so many stories, that I know, that a lot is possible.

Psychological services, relationship therapy, career coaching:
Since 2008 I have had my own Psychologist practice. First I worked in Tilburg and now in Breda. Within the practice I provide psychological services, relationship therapy and (career) coaching.
Common complaints are: anxiety, low self-esteem, fear of failure, not being able to make a decision, relationship problems, illness or doubts in work, negative thoughts and therefore ineffective behavior, conflicts, communication problems, trust issues, loss and grief and general feeling of unhappiness etc.
Also characteristics such as AD(H)D, depression, Borderline, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and autism-related traits occur in the people I speak to, as well as negative thinking and not knowing where to start with activities. Often people have good ideas but don't know, where to start. Even when having choice stress and dilemmas, I can give you some quick insight through exercises.

So if you......
- have problems you don't know how to tackle,
- don't know what you really need,
- find it difficult to express your feelings
- are faced with a difficult choice and if you can't make the decision,
- you don't feel good, and if you're ashamed of something
- feel that you need help, but don't really dare to do it,
then I would love to help you!
Relationship Therapy:
- Lost each other?
- Lost yourself in the relationship?
- No more time for yourself since you have children or because oft the work and therefore even less time for each other? No time for fun things together?
- Do you have arguments / fights?
- Has it all become taken for granted?
- Are you no longer encouraged or valued in the relationship?
- Do you feel pressure to perform?
- Do you give love but it is not seen?
- Or where do your needs lie?
We can explore this with couples therapy! Of course this all is possible to do with family-members with relationship problems. You are all more than welcome!

Online therapy
Most sessions take place in the practice in Breda.
Many sessions also take place through video calling. I have good experiences with it. Through video calls, we can see and hear each other and can still work on the content. It is easily accessible and well available and you can do it from home / your own environment.
Online therapy is possible if you need it, or if you work from home, or if you have no childcare or if there are not many psychologists in your area, or if you live far from Breda. It is all possible.

Specialisations and Expertises
Specializations:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy: people can have unpleasant thoughts and feel very bad because of them. If the situation itself cannot be changed, it is helpful to change the thoughts around it. Often some of the radars then turn and you feel better afterwards. You will see that you then show different behavior, from which you get more happiness. If you practice a lot with these commands, it can work quickly. If it is based on trauma, it takes longer, because then other issues need to be addressed as well. A referral is then also possible.
- Self-insight training or self-esteem training. I have got a lot of homework / excercises to make your selfworth grow

- Sick leave prevention I can help you discover what you need to get back your health and possibilities to stay at work. When not possible, we can search for a way to change your tasks. When even that is not possible, we can search for the possibilities outside the job.
