Demi

Psychologist

Every person is unique. That includes you—embrace your individuality and know that you are already good enough!

My name is Démi, and I work as a psychologist in my own private practice.

I have been interested in the human psyche from a young age, and I am grateful that I can now—with all due humility—contribute to the well-being of others through my work. I began my career in emergency psychiatric care in 2016 and have worked at various clinics in the western Netherlands.

However, I prefer working in a private practice setting where treatment can be tailored to the individual and the client takes center stage. Openness and a sense of safety are key themes in the treatments I provide. People often tell me that, during our sessions, they felt the space to truly open up and share what was on their minds.

In my view, personal growth and development are essential for human well-being. By signing up for treatment, you are already taking the first step toward potentially discovering more about yourself and others.

Individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR

I specialize in individual cognitive behavioral therapy. This means we will work together to explore the ideas, beliefs, or thoughts that are troubling you or causing you to feel stuck. We will also map out how you currently handle these issues and identify patterns that no longer serve you—patterns you would like to change.

I provide EMDR therapy to help heal trauma or process other distressing life events. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a technique that utilizes specific eye movements while you process a traumatic memory.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process in which you can gain greater insight and a better sense of control within a non-judgmental environment. I provide guidance and treatment for a range of issues, such as feelings of gloom, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, excessive worrying, grief, sleep problems, and symptoms of burnout. Sessions can be conducted in either Dutch or English.

Do you feel like you are stuck? Have you been feeling unwell for some time without managing to feel better? Through individual cognitive behavioral therapy or EMDR, we can work together to help you find your way back to yourself.
