English or Dutch spoken therapy for internationalsI am a Gestalt and IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapist in Barcelona
The self-development process through therapy represents for me a respectful path of self-exploration which helps individuals to rediscover themselves and their own resources which finally helps them to improve their quality of life.
If you find yourself trapped in certain behaviors or emotional responses, I can work with you to support your growth and to achieve the so needed changes.
My life began over 50 years ago in the north of Holland, I grew up, studied Technology Management, and worked for many years in multinationals like Philips and ASML. Initially I started in technical roles, but soon realized that working with people brought me much more fulfillment.
I focused on managing changes in work environments and guiding individuals through these transformations. I discovered that my ‘calm’ personality and my ability to listen and observe are powerful tools for bringing peace to hectic situations, to harmonize processes and to reach agreements.
The world of large multinationals was a great learning experience. I worked in many companies, led changes, teams, and projects and provided trainings. During all these years I became more and more interested and fascinated by the complexity of human beings, our behaviors and characters.
“I felt that I wanted to learn a lot more and needed to continue growing in that direction.”
