Nicky
Psychodynamic Therapist
Introduction
Are you looking to live life to the fullest, boost your confidence, increase energy levels, connect with your emotions, or seek guidance for the next steps in your life or career?
Together, we'll delve into your intrusive thoughts, emotions that you have attached to these thoughts, coping strategies, physical symptoms, secondary gains, core beliefs and goals.
We are all different and therefore we all need a personal approach. I address what emerges in the moment, focusing on what needs recognition and understanding, always having your specific goals in mind.
Therapy and Coaching
As a Psychodynamic Therapist, NLP Trainer, Family constellation facilitator, and Youth Coach (for ages 16 and above), I practice these methods because I've personally experienced transformation. I've been able to change patterns, which has lead to a more vibrant and a purposeful life.
I feel energetic, empowered, experience inner tranquillity, and acknowledge its significance for my daughter and the coming generations. This journey has been transformative, and contributing positively to others' lives brings me immense joy.
Guiding you through the whirlwind of thoughts and intense emotions, I remain grounded and fully present. I've explored the depths of my own mind and body, cultivating strength and focus. This enables me to deeply explore what needs to be seen within you. I stand beside you, providing the space for your own realisations, adjustments, nuances, and understanding.
My approach is authentic, guiding you toward your genuine self. We'll unravel beliefs, associated emotions, strategies, physical manifestations, secondary gains, core believes, goals, and purpose. As a Psychodynamic Therapist I want to address your needs and that what surfaces in the moment, always keeping your goals in mind.
The most beautiful journey is to re-connect with your true self!

Online therapy
Although I prefer 'in-person' sessions (in Amsterdam), I also offer the option for online therapy/coaching sessions. Online sessions are a fantastic way to address personal issues. I've found that online sessions can achieve very positive results.
What does a session look like? We schedule an appointment for an agreed-upon day and time. I will then send you a Zoom link.

Photos
We had all therapy sessions in English, and the experience is beyond my expectation. Nicky is very warm and supportive, guiding me to find my true emotions and authenticity.
Before I had first session, I thought it takes a few sessions to see my growth, but simply attended one session, my partner and I noticed my emotions become much stable!
Highly recommended to talk with Nicky if you found yourself having a difficult period.
