My path into psychotherapy began after spending many years working in leadership and organisational psychology. I worked closely with people navigating significant change, workplace pressure, and questions about purpose and direction. Whilst I found that work meaningful, I increasingly felt drawn to explore the deeper emotional and relational dimensions of people's lives. That pull eventually led me to retrain as a psychotherapist.

What I've carried forward from those years is an understanding of how professional demands, life transitions, and the search for meaning can weigh on us. I've seen how external pressures often connect to internal struggles, and how difficult it can be to find space to make sense of it all.

My approach is integrative, drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential traditions. In practice, this means we work collaboratively to understand not just what's happening in your life, but what it means to you and why it might feel the way it does. I'm interested in patterns, in what sits beneath the surface, and in helping you find new ways of relating to yourself and the world around you.

I'm originally from the Netherlands and have lived and worked internationally. I'm fluent in English, Dutch, and German, which allows me to work comfortably with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. I understand what it's like to navigate life across different cultures and languages, and I bring that sensitivity into the therapy room.
