Specialisations

I specailise in listening onconditionally. I'm passionate about my work and way of connecting by really seeing you. I always hope to create an environment in which you feel free to share and be at ease no matter what will come by. Depression, anxiety, burn out, feeling tired and wanting to search for the source of what is holding you back or making you act in ways that are not working for you, is the centre of our attention.

Phyisical / sexological or any other body related issues are a speciality because i've been there and i sometimes still am because for instance being unwanted childlessness is something that i take with me in my whole being. More accepted, less hurtfull but there and treated with respect.

Traumatic experiences are encountered by really getting insight in what happened and when, how we can give room to the feelings or believes that grew and how we can relive them knowing that in the present we are able to show a different reaction. Together we can, within your boundery's, make room for the person you want to be by seeing, feeling and reconstructing you believes about yourself. We want to find your personal strenght and your ability to create your own path in life. You're worth it.

Most common issues I support people with:

- Depression, anxiety and burn out: what made you small, depressed and nervous and drained you along the way? Can we combine sessions with meditation, creative work like crafting, scrapping, dancing, singing or simply breathe a bit deeper and more consieus so we can get to the core of who you really are and want to be?

- Lonelyness, alienation, relationship therapie: what is your definition of really being in contact with others? what is holding you back to really share desires and goals as to have a real connection and feeling more alive because you're able to reach out and enjoy interaction, affection and self care

- Body awareness: what is your self image build up from and are you able to long for more acceptance and freedom when you see the whole you? I've been there. A gastric bypass gave me room to feel more alive and give energy to my womanhood, a heart attack was the warning to re adjust my balance and i'm glad to say all gave me the boost to be me, take up my space, share en love whatever i'm doing. Let's really be open, no shame, your time with me or combined with a massage, just realise: it's your time. 

- Trauma related issues: it takes personal strength to be able to know that what you've been through and that you are aware of the worth of sharing and making way to be able to carry your burden when someone is really present during your proces. Respect for the fact that you choose the present as a way to become more free of old pain and believes that where pressured on you. With caution, we will search for the thoughts, feelings and images that are limiting you.

Explaining your current reaction to old pain, your patterns that might have become disfunctional and your strenght in the here and now to encounter it all again, is hard but essential. With the wisdom you've experienced during your life after the trauma, you can discover new ways of coping and reacting in a way that fits you right now. With my wish to realize an environment in which you will feel safe, seen and at ease, we be connected during your proces in a way that gives you the comfort and space to develop the you that makes you proud and say out loud: I'm worth it.
