Personal Statement
I am a Counselling Psychologist specialising in Schema Therapy and CBT with more than 25 years of experience working with a range of mental health issues both in private and NHS settings.
I am fluent in English and Dutch.
Schema Therapy is an evidence based and emotion focused form of therapy developed for people who have more longstanding psychological problems or personality problems. This therapy looks at so called ‘schemas’ which are longstanding patterns of behaviour, thoughts, memories and feelings that have developed from childhood into adulthood. Schema Therapy looks at basic emotional needs of people that were not met in childhood and continue to not be met into adulthood. Everybody can recognise some ‘schemas’ to some extent, but some people have such strong maladaptive schemas that their quality of life is greatly affected. For example, someone with an emotional deprivation schema may have lacked love and emotional support in their childhood and they continue that situation because they choose emotionally unavailable partners and do not know how to change that.
CBT or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a form of therapy that helps people to function better and helps them to develop their own coping skills. It teaches people to understand the way their thoughts, feelings and behaviour are related and how that might keep them anxious or depressed. By finding different perspectives and by replacing unhelpful behaviour with constructive behaviour, the client and the therapist work together towards concrete goals, which the client sets out at the start of therapy.
CBT is the first treatment of choice for depression and most anxiety disorders according to NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) guidelines.
