I can help you with:

- personal, relationship and career changes and difficulties (integration and culture)
- adult attachment (styles & patterns), close relationship and family dynamics
- identity, body, self-expression and creativity
- stress, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, procrastination, panic attacks and phobias
- depression, isolation, addiction, eating disorders and personality disordersIn my clinical experience I have worked closely with people that have been traumatised. Read more about me here.

I am particularly experienced in working with the effects of sexual traumas (assault or other), personality disorders, recovery from relationships that have been abusive (either parent child relationship or romantic relationships).

I work supporting people that have been victims of racism, discrimination, harassment (at work or other, for example being stalked). I particularly enjoy supporting people with anxiety issues (panic attacks, anxiety disorders, OCD and other).

I also really feel nurtured when I work with couples. I find couple therapy a very special and privileged position for a therapist, because I get to see the relationship developing ad hoc.

Take a look here if you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma.

I am currently dividing my time between working in person in my private practice in Madrid, online with clients that live and work globally, and teaching groups at the NSG, the Dutch institute for Gestalt Therapy in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

I work with individuals, couples, groups and online.

My 4-year Gestalt therapy education is certified by EAP (European Association of Psychotherapy), EAGT (European Association for Gestalt Therapy) and NVAGT (Dutch Psychotherapist Association). As an educator I am also CRKBO certified.

In addition to my clinical work for the last decade, I hold a leadership role as Co-Director at the Dutch Institute for Gestalt Psychotherapy in Amsterdam since 2020. In this capacity, I contribute to the advancement of Gestalt Psychotherapy education and actively engage as a trainer for Psychotherapy Students.

How to chose a therapist

When you choose a therapist, make sure that they have sufficient education and experience.

Keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike.
