Coaching & Positive psychology in English

Sessions:

• Available in English or Dutch
• Face-to-face sessions take place in my private practice room in Amersfoort Vathorst
• Telephone coaching available (daytime hours, Central European Time)
• Online video sessions for clients worldwide (daytime hours, CET)

My approach:

I combine the principles of positive psychology, life course psychology, and coaching to help you move forward in a way that fits you.
We focus on your strengths, values, and goals – and we work at your pace. My style is warm, practical, and non-judgmental.

In my counselling programmes, I work with a variety of methods, such as:

• Positive Psychology

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Rational Emotive Therapy (RET)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Solution-Focused Therapy

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

• E-Health and/or Blended Care

• Family Constellations

If we start a tailored counselling programme together, various exercises and assignments will be part of your journey to help you achieve your goals.
We will work together to improve your situation to your satisfaction, and we will continuously evaluate your progress and adjust where necessary.
You are free to end the counselling whenever you feel ready (experience shows that clients generally need between 6 and 10 sessions).

Rate: Counselling / Psychosocial Therapy

• 1 session of 60 minutes

• Support via a client platform between sessions

When your employer covers the costs of your programme, the business rate applies.

Both face-to-face counselling / psychosocial therapy (for this, the following Covid-19 recommendations still apply: no handshakes, stay home if you have symptoms) in my practice in Amersfoort Vathorst, as well as telephone counselling / therapy, are possible.

• No GP referral required

• Appointments and intakes cancelled within 24 hours will be charged

Health Insurance and Reimbursement

I am a registered therapist (LVPW) with the LVPW, a professional association for psychosocial practitioners.
If you have supplementary health insurance, psychosocial therapy sessions may be partially or fully reimbursed, depending on your policy and insurance provider. Please check with your health insurer for details. A list of reimbursements from health insurers (2025) can be found on the LVPW website.

In addition, I am registered as a BCZ® therapist with the overarching organization RBCZ (Register of Complementary Care Practitioners), which independently mediates between therapists, insurers, and clients, and represents the interests of registered therapists. Some insurers only reimburse therapy if the practitioner is also registered with the RBCZ.

Benefits of Reimbursement through Supplementary Health Insurance

Reimbursement via supplementary insurance offers several advantages, often making the cost lower than using basic health insurance:

• No referral from a GP is required.

• Your personal contribution of €385 from your health insurance will not be used.

If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with the psychosocial therapy sessions, an independent authority will ensure that your complaint is handled properly.

My practice is affiliated with SCAG, the specialized dispute resolution body for therapists in complementary and alternative care.

Additionally, you can contact the disciplinary and complaints committee of the professional association for complaints.
