About me
I am a coach/counsellor having graduated at the Aademie voor Coaching & Counselling in The Netherlands as well as a professional visual artist focused on exploring mental health related themes.
Growing up in an alternative therapy center run by my therapist parents, I was surrounded by music and body therapy and other creative activities focused on holistic health. This experience gave me a deep understanding of the importance of care and the need of others for our personal development.
I collaborated in coaching institutionalized psychiatric clients from Fivoor (Den Dolder) in a creative process to help them work on a different perspective on their lives, allowing them to build a wishful prospect of a future outside of the institution trough creative exercises involving writing and music making.
Through my artistic practice, I research mental health topics, particularly the impact of trauma and the unexpected on our ways of doing and relating to others. In my last project, “Archive for Difficult Emotions,” I worked with the intention of bringing awareness to how transformative and relieving sharing our difficult stories with others can be, as well as the realization that we are not alone in having these feelings; many others are feeling similarly.
A few years ago, I felt the urge and importance of expanding my practice to be able to work with people in a one-to-one setting. Therefore, I decided to become a coach and counselor; a practice that incorporates techniques from different therapies, creating a very integral and personal way of working. We dig deep to understand where the issues you’re experiencing are coming from to generate real change.
