In my various teacher training programs in various educational settings (since 1975!), I've always focused on supporting students. Their well-being and well-being have always been my top priority! To this end, I've taken numerous courses, which has allowed me to serve as a dean and confidential counselor—in addition to teaching.

I therefore have extensive experience with learning and educational problems.

The "Crisis Management in Schools" course taught me how to guide people through difficult situations. This is also useful in relationship therapy.

In my teaching I pay a lot of attention to personal development, e.g. (Exam) Fear Reduction training, Social Skills, Positive Self-Image.

When there was no attention for Social Skills Training in Zeewolde yet, I started a "BasicWorks" course here in 2006.

In my work as a deputy principal at a large school community, I encountered both students and teachers who were struggling or otherwise in conflict.

During my psychology studies, I was able to deepen the scientific basis of my—until then—intuitive behavior. A follow-up course in mindfulness not only gave me insight into my own feelings but also how I could instill this "more peace, less stress, more balance" in others.

An additional EMDR course helps people who have experienced serious trauma.

My motto as a psychologist is: Face It or F*ck It: tackle the things you can change and otherwise:

Give them a place in your life, without experiencing them as a burden!

"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows will fall behind you!"

I will help you with that!
