Vision & Goals
I like to help people (back) in action. This applies to both the active, passionate person I counsel towards better results, as the person who feels stuck, whom I want to help move forward in life. Let's get things moving (again)!
As a psychologist I help you find solutions to get rid of your blockades. We look for causes and solutions together. I want to create a space for naming and discussing difficult emotions. The feeling that you are no longer moving forward is never fun. From this background I am also able to recognize more serious mental problems and to offer appropriate answers.
As a coach I help people – who do not necessarily have a problem – to move forward. I help you reach the next level or challenge, in search of your potential. We focus on training and the necessary rest to keep moving, literally and figuratively speaking. I do not take on the role of a cheerleader or motivation guru. I help you discover your own values and goals, so that you are your own motivator. I teach you different techniques to continue on your own.
All too often I hear clients say that what they were previously prescribed or instructed is not working for them. In my services nothing is prescribed. I may be an expert of the mental, but you remain the expert of yourself and your life. Therefore, there is always a collaboration, a search together for what can work for you. I look at your life from a broad and holistic perspective on all domains and roles. In this approach I help people in different domains:
Sport & Performance (including Esports) / Quit Smoking / Primary care psychology / Exercise & Health /
Under the motto 'practice what you preach' I continuously work on my personal and professional growth through self-reflection, further training and education. I mainly focus on developments in the field of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy/Training, sports and exercise psychology and innovative forms of counseling outside a physical space (online, on the move,...). For a complete and up-to-date overview of the topics in which I specialize, take a look at this page. In addition, I try to integrate exercise and health into my day in a flexible way every day.
