Therapy approaches
English speaking psychologist Eindhoven & Veldhoven​
Therapy tailored to you
There is no single therapeutic approach that works for everyone. Your experiences, personality, goals and needs are unique. As a growing professional, I draw on elements from different therapeutic approaches and integrate them into my practice according to the individual needs of each client. I continue to develop my understanding and application of these approaches through ongoing professional development.
You don't need to choose a therapy approach before contacting me. We can discuss what you're experiencing and decide together which therapeutic methods may be most useful for your goals
​
​
How different approaches can help?
Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT)
If you struggle with overthinking, anxiety or unhelpful thought patterns
CBT can help you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. We can identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop more helpful ways of responding. It is also a practical form of therapy, with tools and strategies you can practise between sessions and take with you into everyday life.​
Schema therapy
​
If you keep repeating the same patterns
Schema Therapy explores the deeper emotional patterns and beliefs that develop through our life experiences and can shape the way we see ourselves, others, and relationships. Together, we can understand these patterns, recognise unmet emotional needs, and work towards developing a stronger sense of self and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. The therapy is practical and experiential.​
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
​
​If your emotions feel overwhelming or difficult to manage
DBT can help you build practical skills for managing intense emotions, coping with difficult situations, and improving relationships. It focuses on developing greater awareness of your emotions while learning how to respond to them in more balanced and effective ways. In DBT you can develop tools that are useful in everyday life.​
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
​
If you spend a lot of energy trying to control your thoughts and feelings
ACT focuses on developing greater psychological flexibility. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts and feelings, we can learn to make space for them while moving toward the values and life that matter to you.​
Solution-Focused Therapy
​
If you want to build on what is already working on your strengths and possibilities instead of the problem
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on where you would like to be, rather than spending most of the time exploring what has gone wrong. Together, we can identify your strengths, resources, and previous experiences of what has worked, and use these to create practical steps towards positive change. The approach is collaborative and future-oriented, helping you recognise progress, build on what is already working, and develop solutions that fit your life.​
Client-Centered Therapy
​
If you want a safe space to understand yourself
Client-Centred Therapy provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. The therapy is guided by what feels important to you, with an emphasis on self-understanding, personal growth, and developing greater trust in yourself. Rather than being given advice or solutions, you are supported in finding your own answers and discovering what feels right for you.​
​
These approaches are not separate boxes that you need to fit into. In therapy, I may draw from different approaches depending on what we discover together. For example, we might use CBT techniques to work with overthinking while also exploring deeper patterns through Schema Therapy, or use DBT skills to help with emotional regulation while working on relationships and boundaries. The goal is not to use a particular therapy model simply for the sake of it. The goal is to find what is helpful for you.
What is my level of expertise in these approaches?
I have experience with each of these approaches and am familiar with their techniques and theoretical frameworks. While I am not a certified expert in all of them, my focus is always on providing effective, high-quality, and ethical care to my clients. This includes seeking regular supervision, and engaging in ongoing learning.
