A clinical psychologist

Originally from the Netherlands, I have lived and worked most of my life in various countries in Africa and in the Middle East.

I hold Master Degrees in Clinical and Cross-Cultural Psychology as well as in Humanitarian Assistance. I speak Dutch, English and French.

I have a specific expertise in trauma care, recovery and resilience: supporting people through the aftermath of overwhelming events in the international work field.

I have worked with people in all ages ranges and responded to a broad spectrum of challenges; including depression, anxiety, panic, anger, stress, low self-esteem, alcohol, relationship difficulties and parenting concerns, as well as more severe and enduring mental illnesses.

I am also trained Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychological First Aid (PFA), Psychological health assessments/clearance, Resilience briefings.
