Child and Family Support.

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves." — Rainer Maria Rilke

Welcome!

I offer psychological support for children and families, with a warm, relational, and trauma-informed approach.

Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, sleep, friendships, or big transitions…
or your family feels stuck in patterns that are hard to shift—
you’re in the right place.

I am a registered psychologist (Psychologist NIP®) with over 25 years of experience working alongside children and families in international educational settings. My background in both psychology and education allows me to understand not only a child’s emotional world, but also the school, family, and developmental contexts that shape their wellbeing.

As a mother of four teenagers and someone who has lived internationally for many years, I also understand many of the opportunities and challenges that internationally mobile families can face.

My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in connection. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms or behaviour, I look at the whole child, the family system, relationships, emotional safety, and the story beneath the struggle. I work collaboratively with parents and, where appropriate, with schools to support meaningful and lasting change.

I work as an independent practitioner and I am not affiliated with any Dutch Health Insurance providers. Please check with your health insurance provider to see whether there are any reimbursements available.

Sessions available in English, Dutch, and Finnish, both online and in person.

How I Can Help

  • I support children (ages 2–10), parents, and families with:
    • anxiety and worries
    • sleep difficulties
    • big emotions and behavioural challenges
    • friendship and social struggles
    • school-related stress and learning differences
    • transitions (moving countries, new schools, family changes)
    • family dynamics and parent-child connection
    • overwhelming or difficult experiences
     

Sometimes things can look small on the outside—but feel big on the inside.
We make space for both.

Support for Children

Looking beyond behaviour to the child underneath.

Children express struggles in many different ways — through emotions, behaviour, worries, withdrawal, sleep difficulties, or challenges at school and with friendships.

Together, we gently explore what may be happening underneath.
