About the therapy

Through the psychotherapy process, we explore our feelings and behaviors to gain valuable insight into ourselves. With better understanding, we get more control over our lives and can create a unique environment that suits us. We either remove or learn how to handle stressors and obstacles, freeing the path to reaching our goals.

I can help you work through:

Anxiety including panic attacks
Excessive stress
Depressive moods, low energy, and problems with concentration
Unhappiness, emptiness, and feelings of guilt
Traumas and aversive events from childhood
Sleeping problems such as insomnia and nightmares
Interpersonal issues, complex family dynamics, irritability, difficulties with connecting with people and setting boundaries
Self-esteem issues, lack of confidence, difficulty reaching goals
Problems related to living abroad e.g. homesickness, loneliness, cultural differences

Location

Gansstraat 164, 3582EP Utrecht

Sessions can take place online or at Gansstraat 164, 3582EP Utrecht.
During this call, we get to know each other and I ask about the reasons that led you to seek out therapy. The aim is to determine the range and severity of your complaints and estimate if I can provide help.
I usually see clients every week or every other week. However, the frequency of sessions is quite flexible and can be adapted depending on the severity of the complaints and preferences.
The therapy is tailored to each patient. What works for one person may not work for another. I use mostly techniques derived from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment theory.
The first call is free. The standard price for a 1-hour session is €90. Because I want to promote more inclusive and equitable mental health, costs can be adapted based on income for a limited number of clients.
I am currently not working with insurance companies. There are some advantages to that:
- There is more freedom regarding the approach chosen and I can offer more specialized treatment
- There is no limited number of sessions. If needed, we can go in-depth and target longer-term goals
- The frequency of sessions is flexible and can be adjusted depending on your needs or preferences
If you want to cancel or reschedule an appointment contact me via ae.therapy.utrecht@gmail.com. I gently ask you to inform me 24 hours before the planned appointment.
Is your life in immediate danger? Call 112 immediately.

What you are feeling is scary but not life-threatening. It is only a temporary state. Watch this video to get reassurance and guidance on what to do if you are in the middle of a panic attack.
