About

‘Working as a systemic therapist in the Netherlands and in Nairobi over 20 years I witnessed that everywhere in the world the foundation of life is determined by relationships. Communication, affection and connection create the steppingstone of inclusiveness. And don’t we all want to belong?'

I have almost two decades experience in Multi Systemic Therapy (MST), Multi Dimensional Family Therapy (MDFT) and intergenerational therapy. At this moment I am in the process of being trained in EFT I 'Emotionally Focused Therapy'.

On top of this I travelled through more than thirty countries and worked as a counsellor in the Netherlands, India, Ghana and Kenya with the most vulnerable clients in different settings.

I help individuals, couples and families who feel stuck in life with themselves, their private relationships or their environment to gain control again and redesign their life. I use evidence based methods from cognitive, systemic, intergenerational, EFT and Gottman couples therapy to carefully challenge my clients on a mental, emotional and social level to reconstruct unhealthy patterns.

I am known as a pragmatic and barefoot counsellor. I coach my clients closely and carefully in order to create ownership of their life. I always ‘lead them from one step behind’, whereas my proactive, respectful and curious attitude is the most valuable tool in my work. My client’s needs are my starting point and I always include key influencers from the clients’ context who contribute positively to the desirable change.
