Psychology / therapy

Elk mens en elke situatie en klachtenpatroon is uniek en vraagt om een andere (combinatie van) therapie. Ik ben getraind en heb ervaring in Cognitieve Gedragstherapie (CGT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectische Gedragstherapie (DGT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) en Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). Daarnaast heb ik een eigen onderneming gehad waarmee ik mindfulnesstrainingenen gaf voor zowel particulieren als advocaten bij bedrijven op de Amsterdamse Zuidas. Ook heb ik vier jaar lang een vorm van trauma-informed body work sessies gegeven. Deze ervaringen neem ik allemaal mee in mijn holistische perspectief op de finesses van psychologische therapie.

The treatment

During a seven-session program (plus possibly an extra three), we go straight to the core of your mental health symptoms. The treatment is intense and requires commitment and courage: I expect you to be willing to look into the eyes what you may have avoided previously. At the same time, I am completely available to you, offering a safe space to explore dimensions of your mind, emotional life, and behavior that can feel intense and raw. Together we will navigate to your very essence. Between sessions you'll practice daily at home.

“Martijn's guidance is deeply respectful.”

- Fleur

“Martijn creates an atmosphere of peace.”

- Amber

Symptoms

For each cluster of psychological or mental health symptoms, also known as DSM classifications, a different treatment modality is most effective. Because symptoms themselves may not reveal much about their actual cause, a different type of therapy is often required for the same cluster of symptoms. For instance, depression and anxiety may be caused by traumatic experiences or unsafe childhood bonding, but can also be related to bipolar or psychotic disorders. Treatment is always focused on the root cause and unique to your situation.

You are welcome with the following symptoms and challenges. If you are unsure about how your symptoms are related, please schedule an introductory consultation.
