My journey into psychotherapy was inspired by a lifelong fascination with human nature and a personal quest for healing. Early interests in graphology, philosophy, and psychology laid the groundwork for my formal training in psychotherapy, which began at the age of 30. Since then, I have pursued extensive professional development to deepen my practice, including training with renowned organizations such as the British Transpersonal Association (BTA), the Psychedelic Society, Stanislav Grof’s Future of Psychology program, Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry, and Clerkenwell Health’s cutting-edge psychedelic therapy training.

In addition to my work in private practice, I am a facilitator of legal psychedelic retreats in the Netherlands. These retreats provide a safe, supportive environment for clients to achieve profound self-insight and transformation with the help of plant medicine and .

What can you expect when you come to see me?

I work with a tailor-made approach rooted in empathy, respect, and a psychodynamic understanding of the human experience. As your life experience, your struggles and story is unique, your therapy will be also.

My theoretical training background is psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural and transpersonal, incorporating elements of dynamic interpersonal therapy, internal family systems therapy, and compassionate enquiry. In breif I practice Integral Psychotherapy. Integral psychotherapy (IP) proposes that all insights on life contain partial truths and that weaving together a range of cultural, psychological, socioeconomic, biological, spiritual, and behavioural perspectives can offer hope for healing. IP draws from several theoretical orientations, leaning heavily on theories of transpersonal psychology. All of these theoretical frameworks help me to think with you about your difficulties with the ephasis on trusting your innate ability to heal.

In addition to my work in private practice, I am a facilitator of legal psychedelic retreats in the Netherlands. These retreats provide a safe, supportive environment for clients to achieve profound self-insight and transformation with the help of plant medicine. I closely follow the latest research on the use of entheogens in the field of mental health treatment and am trained as a psychedelics coach. I offer preparation and integration sessions for those intending to travel abroad to work with expanded states of consciousness as part of their healing journey.

In addition to the BACP, I am a member of the Guild of Guides (GoG), an umbrella organization for practitioners and organizations offering guided psychedelic experiences. We uphold professional standards, best practices, and a code of conduct to ensure the safety and integrity of participants in psychedelic rituals, therapies, and sessions. I strictly observe the legal and ethical boundaries of all of the above-mentioned registering bodies and organizations.
