Somatic Therapy & Somatic Experiencing in the Netherlands

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.

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.

I pay attention to you as a developing human being. I strive for you to live your life as fully as possible, as powerfully as possible - given your values and talents.

Review: “Very happy and thankful for all treatment.”

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.

As a psychosocial therapist, systemic family coach, video home trainer and trainer, I work in an integrative and experiential way. I look at all parts of a person and their context: emotions, thoughts, behaviour, the body, and the relationships and systems people are part of. These elements are connected and influence both the difficulties someone experiences and the movement toward change. Therefore, I focus on the whole person rather than on symptoms alone.

Life brings new challenges at every stage.
Most of the time, you find your own way forward. But sometimes, you get stuck — again and again. What now? What’s next?
