EQUINE- Assisted THERAPY
In collaboration with a horse coach, I offer Equine-assisted therapy on a farm in Leiden on the Vlietweg. You will be guided by me as a psychologist, the horse coach and the horses. This therapy is ‘experience-oriented’, which means that you do and experience more than with ‘talk therapy’. If this seems like something for you, read more on the Equine-assisted therapy page.

Emdr therapy
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy developed for people who experience persistent consequences of traumatic experiences, such as accidents, sexual assault or violent incidents. These traumatic events can lead to recurring anxious images or thoughts, resulting in various complaints such as anxiety, sadness or sleep problems. In such cases, EMDR is the treatment of first choice to effectively tackle these complaints.

“Far beyond the path of right and wrong, opinions and judgments there is an open place: I would like to meet you there”
Rumi (1207-1273)
It happens to almost everyone at some point. A period in your life when you are not feeling well. For example, you suffer from stress, you have experienced something drastic, you feel down or anxious, you worry a lot and sleep poorly. Usually, These complaints go away on their own. But sometimes it’s nice to not have to solve it alone and instead talk to an expertthinks along with you. Sometimes your complaints last longer than you would like, and in that case it can also be helpful to ask for help. On the For you page you can read more about what I can do for you as a psychologist.
