Adults

Many adults come to therapy at a turning point, when familiar coping strategies stop being enough, or when life shifts faster than we're ready for.

This is also where the idea behind Methexis shows up in practice: therapy works best when it isn't led from ahead, but built side by side, each of us bringing something the other doesn't have.

Sessions are collaborative from the start: we'll take time early on to understand what's brought you here and what you're hoping for, then shape the pace and frequency around what actually works for you, whether that's weekly sessions building steady momentum, or a more flexible rhythm around a busier season of life. You're welcome to attend in-person in The Hague or online from anywhere in the EU, and to move between the two as it suits you.

Common areas of focus include:

• Life transitions and identity shifts

• Expat and international life adjustment

• Anxiety and stress

• Low mood

• Burnout

• Self-confidence and self-worth

• Breaking unhelpful patterns

• Relationship difficulties

Adolescents (12 and Οlder)

Adolescence brings real pressure, socially, academically, and in figuring out who you are, often while the people around you are adjusting too. Having a steady, independent space to make sense of it can make a real difference.

I aim to make that space feel like it genuinely belongs to you, not an extension of what the adults around you expect. Depending on your age, this might mean coming to sessions independently, or beginning together with a parent or guardian before continuing on your own. Sessions are available in-person in The Hague or online, wherever you're based within the EU.

Common areas of focus include:

• Adjusting to a new school or country

• Identity and self-esteem

• Anxiety and stress

• Low mood

• Social confidence and peer relationships

• Family and social pressures

Children

Children don't always have the words for what they're feeling. Emotional difficulty often shows up as changes in behaviour, sleep, or how a child is doing at school, rather than something they can name directly. Support at this stage helps make sense of what's underneath, for the child and the family around them.

With younger clients, building trust comes first, sessions are paced to how your child responds, not rushed toward a fixed structure. Parents and guardians are treated as partners throughout, not just kept informed after the fact, and I'll talk openly with you about what's working and what we might adjust. Sessions are offered in-person only, since young children often engage and communicate best when they have room to move, be present, and feel at ease in the space.

Common areas of focus include:

• Adjusting to a new environment

• Learning to manage big emotions and behaviour

• Building confidence

• Friendship difficulties and social connection

• Family changes or transitions

I currently work with school-age children; for younger children, I'm happy to help point you toward another practitioner better suited to their needs. I am registered with SKJ (Kwaliteitsregister Jeugd), the Dutch quality register for professionals working with children, young people and families.

Neurodivergent Clients

I welcome neurodivergent clients of all ages. Whether you are on the autism spectrum, have ADHD, or have dyslexia or another learning difference, with or without a formal diagnosis, my approach is neurodiversity-affirming: the aim is not to change who you are, but to better understand how your mind works, reduce stress and overwhelm, and build strategies that genuinely fit you.

Common areas of focus include:

• Anxiety and stress

• Low mood

• Burnout

• Self-esteem

• Sensory or social demands

• Adjusting to a new country, school or workplace

My experience includes supporting children with diverse learning needs in both special and mainstream education settings at international schools in The Hague.

Please note that I do not carry out diagnostic assessments (for example, for autism or ADHD).
