Introduction
Welcome
Almost everyone faces challenges at some point in life.
Sometimes it can be difficult to overcome these on your own. Together, we will e
xplore what you would like to achieve and what may be holding you back from living the life you want.
I work with psychodynamic therapy, a powerful and effective approach that helps uncover the underlying causes of emotional and psychological difficulties.
Therapy is never a one-size-fits-all process. Every person is unique, which is why I tailor each session to your individual needs, working together towards lasting change.
My name is Sonja. I am creative, down-to-earth, and I value humour. I am a thinker, a dreamer, and a doer. I enjoy life, embrace creativity, and believe that authenticity is one of our greatest strengths.
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by what motivates people and what allows them to truly thrive. Long before I became a therapist, I found myself naturally supporting and guiding others. Becoming a psychodynamic therapist gave me the knowledge, skills, and therapeutic tools to turn that passion into my profession.
Psychodynamic Therapy
I am deeply passionate about psychodynamic therapy because it looks beyond symptoms and focuses on the person as a whole.
Together, we explore your inner emotional world, your relationships, and the experiences that have shaped the way you think, feel, and respond to life.
We examine recurring patterns, limiting beliefs, unresolved trauma, and emotional wounds that may be affecting your wellbeing.
By gaining insight into these patterns and processing the experiences beneath them, meaningful and lasting change becomes possible.
Sometimes healing the underlying experiences is the key to changing behaviours that no longer serve you.
To provide treatment that best fits your needs, I integrate a variety of evidence-informed therapeutic approaches, including:
-
Somatic therapy
-
Clinical hypnotherapy
-
Anger work
-
Anxiety therapy
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy
-
Grief counselling
-
Trauma therapy
-
Inner Child work
-
Breathwork
-
Systemic therapy (Family Constellations)
-
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)
-
EMDR
If you would like to know more or are considering therapy, I warmly invite you to contact me for a free, no-obligation telephone consultation. Together, we can discuss your situation and explore whether I am the right therapist for you.
I look forward to meeting you.
Warm regards,
Sonja
Online therapy
I offer online therapy sessions via Zoom, allowing you to receive professional support wherever you are in the world.
Many of my clients are expats or English-speaking individuals living in the Netherlands, and online therapy provides a flexible and accessible way to work together.
Before our first session, you will receive a secure Zoom link by email. All you need is a quiet, private space, a stable internet connection, and a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone.
Online therapy is just as personal and effective as meeting in person. Together, we create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. I tailor each session to your individual needs, using a combination of psychodynamic therapy and other therapeutic approaches when appropriate.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, or the effects of narcissistic abuse, online therapy offers a comfortable and confidential space to work towards lasting change.
If you are unsure whether online therapy is right for you, I would be happy to discuss your questions during a free, no-obligation telephone consultation.
