About me
I am Agathe, a Utrecht-based psychologist, and member of the Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen (NIP).

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
-
Sessions can take place online or at Ramstraat 31, 3581 HD 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 EMDR and 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 €100 with Agathe and €90 with Ioanna. For patients with lower income a discounted price is applicable. If you wish to benefit from discounted pricing please let us know in the initial contact form.
-
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
