Multidisciplinary practice Lavendel
Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, psychosomatic – whether chronic or not – physical problems or depression? As a trained clinical psychologist and certified mindfulness therapist, I combine various techniques and tools to help you find for more peace and happiness.
You can book therapy sessions with me, both online and in person, in my multidisciplinary practice Lavendel. The price for an intake is €85, afterwards you pay €70 for each individual consultation. I work with children, adolescents and (young) adults.
Tip: some of the costs of therapy are reimbursed by the health insurance. Contact your health insurance company or doctor for more information.

Do you need urgent help? On the bottom of this page you will find some useful helplines.
I incorporate techniques and principles from amongst others:
- MBSR and mindfulness, the latter based on the work of Thich Nhat Hahn and the Dalai Lama. I teach you all kinds of meditation techniques, which you can apply practically. More about MBSR can be found on the page 'What is mindfulness'.
- Insight dialogue: meditation that combines meditative awareness with dialogue, and interpersonal mindfulness.
- Contemplative studies
- Focusing. This means that the focus is shifted from other people's behavior to one's own physical experiences. By applying this to certain events, you learn to interpret your own feelings differently. The physical experiences are in fact compared to the reality and thus placed in perspective. The intention is that the perception of certain physical sensations thus changes for the better.
- Diagnostics. This is a scientifically proven method that is based on empirical knowledge. Certain hypotheses about behavior and thought patterns are tested, for example through questionnaires and interviews.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy. The basis of this type of therapy is goal- and action-oriented. The aim is to alter behavior and thoughts through concrete exercises, in order to reduce the symptoms.
- Person-centered experiential therapy

If you feel burnout setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself.
