Frequently Asked Questions
Before your first therapy session:
-
I provide one-on-one sessions (online and in person) and facilitate group workshops.
In-person sessions are held in The Hague while online sessions are available worldwide.
-
Instead of just talking about what happened, we work directly with the emotional charge behind painful memories, stressful experiences, and trauma triggers, so they can begin to feel lighter, calmer, and less in control of your life.
We use tapping and somatic
techniques to help your nervous system process and release emotions naturally.The goal is to help you feel more regulated, stable, and connected to yourself.
-
I work with clients who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges.
However, if you are currently in crisis, experiencing active suicidal ideation, or have untreated severe mental illness, I will refer you to appropiate clinical support first.
-
Prior to your first appointment, please fill out the intake forms that were emailed at the time of booking.
Your first appointment will provide an opportunity to talk about your reason or intention for seeking support.
During the therapy process:
-
I require at least 24 hours notice to reschedule, but will always try my best to accommodate a request.
-
You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable, and we can use structured protocols that help us work safely while respecting your boundaries.
My role is to create a space where you feel supported, never pressured, and where your sense of safety remains the priority throughout the process.
You are always in control of what you choose to discuss and at what pace.
-
Regulation takes time.
While some shifts can happen quickly, most people have been living in a dysregulated state for a long time, and there’s no instant fix for the nervous system. It needs repetition, space, and consistency to reconnect, relax, and regain capacity.
-
Because the body is always part of the emotional experience, it can be helpful to include it in the process of understanding and working with emotions. By bringing attention to physical sensations, we engage with emotions as they are actually experienced, rather than only focusing on the thoughts or meanings we attach to them.
