ABOUT ME

"Nothing human is alien to me...."

As a child I was already fascinated by people and their behavior, I liked to observe and knew early on that I wanted to become a psychologist. And so it happened: I studied psychology at the University of Groningen (master direction: clinical psychology). Then I specialized in emotions at the Emotion Expertise Center of Vera Helleman where I followed the training to become an Emotion Coach. And thus EMOTIEPSYCHOLOGIST was born.

Mental health care was also familiar territory for me from the client's point of view 〰️ used to be a COMPLAINT, but now I think it's my STRENGTH as a care provider 〰️ I know how frustrating it can be to get diagnoses because of insurance, to sit through long waiting times, to go through long & intensive test procedures and/or intake processes + sharing your life history for the umpteenth time (while you benefit so much from acute help!) etc. From that frustration I use a different approach. I don't do intakes & (DSM) diagnoses, but I use emotions as a diagnostic tool: your emotions tell me within a few minutes what you need at this moment; I only subtitle it and don't need to know anything about your history. This way you can come to me right away & we can get started on your process right away! ➵ ACUTE HELP so with exactly what is your priority NOW. ♡
