Assertiveness counselling & therapy in the Netherlands

Being assertive means expressing your thoughts, feelings, and needs in a clear and respectful way. Many people find this challenging, especially in new or unfamiliar environments.

 

You might struggle to say no, avoid conflict, or put others’ needs before your own. For expats, cultural differences can also play a role in how assertiveness is experienced.

 

Therapy can help you build confidence, set boundaries, and communicate more effectively. Developing assertiveness can improve both your personal and professional relationships.

On this page, you’ll find English-speaking therapists, psychologists, and counsellors in the Netherlands who offer support for assertiveness and related challenges.

 

You can explore the profiles below to find a therapist who matches your needs and contact them directly.

English-language teletherapy for expats and internationals in the Netherlands. I bring a depth-oriented, existential approach to the challenges that come with building a life far from home — anxiety, disconnection, identity, and the complicated feelings that can come with leaving. American, Leiden-based, and accepting new clients.
