Approach
How my vision takes shape in practice
Methodological approach
My way of working is eclectic, which means that I combine different therapeutic methods. Each therapeutic process is tailored to the individual, carefully aligned with your personal needs and preferences. In my work, I primarily draw on techniques from body-oriented therapy and systemic therapy, and to a lesser extent from cognitive behavioural therapy.
Body-oriented therapy
Body-oriented therapy is based on the understanding that experiences we have in childhood are stored in the body as patterns of movement, posture, facial expression, breathing, and vocal tone. By increasing body awareness, these automatic patterns become more visible and accessible.
Systemic Therapy
Systemic therapy focuses on the interactions and relationships within a system, such as a family, intimate relationship, or workplace team. Rather than looking only at the individual, it explores how the roles we take on within these systems affect us.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. A key principle is that thoughts, emotions, and behaviour continuously influence one another.​
View on change
At the foundation of my work lies a holistic perspective: rather than focusing on a single complaint, we look at you as a whole person. The starting point is not so much symptom reduction, but a curious and open exploration of the origins of your patterns. Through experiential learning — engaging body, emotion, and mind — we initiate a process of meaningful and lasting change.
The therapeutic relationship
Within this way of working, the therapeutic relationship plays a central role. My stance as a therapist is open and honest, as I believe that an authentic relationship deepens and supports the therapeutic process. People generally feel at ease with me quite quickly.
​
You can expect that I will always take you seriously without making things unnecessarily heavy, that I continually reflect on how best to support you, and that I handle moments of discomfort with care — both yours and my own — as it is often in these moments that important insights emerge.
Room to move
In a safe setting, we explore what works for you and what does not. You gain new experiences, experiment with different ways of being, and gradually develop greater freedom of choice. In this way, more room to move emerges in how you relate to yourself and to others.
