I am a psychologist by profession and also a human being like everyone else. There are times when we all find ourselves faced with challenges that feel overwhelming. In my work, my focus is in the first place on forming a good therapeutic relationship, based on the notition we are all in this together. In addition, I offer my expertise and professional support. Wether you are navigating a personal crisis, a life transition, or finding it difficult to cope with a certain challenge, you don’t have to face this alone. I feel very privileged for being a part of people’s life journey.<\/p><p>I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles in my psychology practice. My interest in neuro-science is also reflected in my work and I like to share neuro-scientific information to help people understand their problems better. I was originally trained as a child and adolescent psychologist, which has helped me to always have a systemic perspective: we are all part of a family, work environment and\/or social group and do not stand alone. Also, an interest in attachment style and difficulties underline my practice. I have had extensive training in trauma.<\/p><p><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n <div class=\"divider\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"divider-line\"><\/div><div class=\"divider-mark\"><\/div><div class=\"divider-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n \n <section id=\"expertise\" class=\"section\">\n <div class=\"container\">\n <div class=\"expertise-intro\">\n <p class=\"section-label reveal\">Expertise & Way of Working<\/p>\n <h2 class=\"section-title reveal reveal-delay-1\"><\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"expertise-text-box reveal reveal-delay-2\">\n <p>As a senior psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I can help with any difficulties you might be facing and offer a level-headed approach in supporting you to gain insight and a plan moving forward. In my work as a psychologist, I offer a safe and respectful space where you can feel heard and explore what matters to you. I value honest, authentic connection and approach each person with curiosity, care, and without judgment. Together, we will work on strengthen your inner resources, and find ways forward that feel aligned with who you are.<\/p><p>I have worked for more than 20 years as a Clinical Psychologist in New Zealand, in health, education and private settings. Clinical Psychologists have specialized knowledge of diagnosing, assessing and treating a wide range of mental, emotional, and behavioural disorders. During my work as a Clinical Psychologist, I also worked with survivors of sexual abuse and other trauma. I have an interest in concussion, pain and chronic health issues. I enjoy working with issues related to certain life phases, like early adulthood, menopause or parenthood. My clients come from all walks of life, cultures and ages. <\/p><p style=\"margin-top:1rem\"><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"cards-label reveal\">Strengths & Experience<\/p>\n <div

My Master Degree is from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. Since my mid twenties, I have mainly lived in New Zealand where I gained further training and experience which made me qualify to be registered as \u2018Clinical Psychologist\u2019. I worked in a hospital, at a High School, and owned and operated a private practice in Wanaka, working with NGOs, ACC, GPs, Victim Support and EAP services. I have been a Wanaka local for many years and continue to maintain strong ties with New Zealand. Ten years ago, I resided in Switzerland for almost 4 years and this has equiped me with insights into Swiss culture, integration as a non-Swiss and raising children in Switzerland. Since 2026, my family resides permanently in Switzerland again.<\/h2>\n <div class=\"timeline\" style=\"margin-top:3rem\">\n <div class=\"timeline-col reveal reveal-delay-2\">\n <p class=\"timeline-col-label\"><span><\/span> Work Experience<\/p>\n <div class=\"timeline-item\"><p class=\"timeline-year\"><\/p><p><\/p><p class=\"timeline-role\">Self-employed – Senior Psychologist – ‘The Online Psychologist’, New Zealand\/Switzerland<\/p><p class=\"timeline-place\">Providing online psychological services<\/p><p class=\"timeline-desc\">January 2026 – until now<\/p><\/div>\n\n <div class=\"timeline-item\"><p class=\"timeline-year\"><\/p><p class=\"timeline-role\">Self-employed – Registered Clinical Psychologist – Wanaka Psychology, New Zealand<\/p><p class=\"timeline-place\">Delivered evidence-based psychological therapy for clients across the lifespan.

I am a psychologist by profession and also a human being like everyone else. There are times when we all find ourselves faced with challenges that feel overwhelming. In my work, my focus is in the first place on forming a good therapeutic relationship, based on the notition we are all in this together. In addition, I offer my expertise and professional support. Wether you are navigating a personal crisis, a life transition, or finding it difficult to cope with a certain challenge, you don’t have to face this alone. I feel very privileged for being a part of people’s life journey.<\/p><p>I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles in my psychology practice. My interest in neuro-science is also reflected in my work and I like to share neuro-scientific information to help people understand their problems better. I was originally trained as a child and adolescent psychologist, which has helped me to always have a systemic perspective: we are all part of a family, work environment and\/or social group and do not stand alone. Also, an interest in attachment style and difficulties underline my practice. I have had extensive training in trauma.<\/p><p><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n <div class=\"divider\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"divider-line\"><\/div><div class=\"divider-mark\"><\/div><div class=\"divider-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n \n <section id=\"expertise\" class=\"section\">\n <div class=\"container\">\n <div class=\"expertise-intro\">\n <p class=\"section-label reveal\">Expertise & Way of Working<\/p>\n <h2 class=\"section-title reveal reveal-delay-1\"><\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"expertise-text-box reveal reveal-delay-2\">\n <p>As a senior psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I can help with any difficulties you might be facing and offer a level-headed approach in supporting you to gain insight and a plan moving forward. In my work as a psychologist, I offer a safe and respectful space where you can feel heard and explore what matters to you. I value honest, authentic connection and approach each person with curiosity, care, and without judgment. Together, we will work on strengthen your inner resources, and find ways forward that feel aligned with who you are.<\/p><p>I have worked for more than 20 years as a Clinical Psychologist in New Zealand, in health, education and private settings. Clinical Psychologists have specialized knowledge of diagnosing, assessing and treating a wide range of mental, emotional, and behavioural disorders. During my work as a Clinical Psychologist, I also worked with survivors of sexual abuse and other trauma. I have an interest in concussion, pain and chronic health issues. I enjoy working with issues related to certain life phases, like early adulthood, menopause or parenthood. My clients come from all walks of life, cultures and ages. <\/p><p style=\"margin-top:1rem\"><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"cards-label reveal\">Strengths & Experience<\/p>\n <div

self-understanding\u2014at your pace, and in a way that feels right for you. I belief my extensive psychological knowledge and experience can help you figure out what is affecting your life negatively and find a positive path forward. Improving your wellbeing doesn’t have to be a long journey. With the right tools and strategies, meaningful change can happen faster than you think.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"pricing-grid\">\n\n <div class=\"pricing-card reveal reveal-delay-1\">\n <span class=\"pricing-badge\">Initial \/ Follow-up<\/span>\n <p class=\"pricing-duration\">30 min<\/p>\n <p class=\"pricing-price\">100 NZD \/ 80 CHF<\/p>\n <div class=\"pricing-divider\"><\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-desc\"><\/p>\n <button class=\"pricing-cta\" onclick=\"openModal('Initial \/ Follow-up','30 min Session','80 CHF')\">Book Now<\/button>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"pricing-card featured reveal reveal-delay-2\">\n <span class=\"pricing-badge\">Most Popular<\/span>\n <p class=\"pricing-duration\" style=\"color:#fff\">60 min<\/p>\n <p class=\"pricing-price\">200 NZD \/ 160 CHF<\/p>\n <div class=\"pricing-divider\"><\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-desc\"><\/p>\n <button class=\"pricing-cta\" onclick=\"openModal('Most Popular','60 min Session','200 NZD \/ 160 CHF')\">Book Now<\/button>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"pricing-card reveal reveal-delay-3\">\n <span class=\"pricing-badge\">Deep Session<\/span>\n <p class=\"pricing-duration\">90 min<\/p>\n <p class=\"pricing-price\">300 NZD \/ 240 CHF<\/p>\n <div class=\"pricing-divider\"><\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-desc\"><\/p>\n <button class=\"pricing-cta\" onclick=\"openModal('Deep Session','90 min Session','240 CHF')\">Book Now<\/button>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n <div class=\"divider\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"divider-line\"><\/div><div class=\"divider-mark\"><\/div><div class=\"divider-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n \n <section id=\"experience\" class=\"section\">\n <div class=\"container\">\n <p class=\"section-label reveal\">Background<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"section-title reveal reveal-delay-1\">\n <h2 class=\"section-title reveal reveal-delay-1\">\n <div class=\"about-text-box reveal reveal-delay-1\">I was born and raised in the Netherlands and my native language is Dutch. My Master Degree is from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. Since my mid twenties, I have mainly lived in New Zealand where I gained further training and experience which made me qualify to be registered as \u2018Clinical Psychologist\u2019. I worked in a hospital, at a High School, and owned and operated a private practice in Wanaka, working with NGOs, ACC, GPs, Victim Support and EAP services. I have been a Wanaka local for many years and continue to maintain strong ties with New Zealand. Ten years ago, I resided in Switzerland for almost 4 years and this has equiped me with insights into Swiss culture, integration as a non-Swiss and raising children in Switzerland. Since 2026, my family resides permanently in Switzerland again.<\/h2>\n <div class=\"timeline\" style=\"margin-top:3rem\">\n <div class=\"timeline-col reveal reveal-delay-2\">\n <p class=\"timeline-col-label\"><span><\/span> Work Experience<\/p>\n <div class=\"timeline-item\"><p class=\"timeline-year\"><\/p><p><\/p><p class=\"timeline-role\">Self-employed – Senior Psychologist – ‘The Online Psychologist’, New Zealand\/Switzerland<\/p><p class=\"timeline-place\">Providing online psychological services<\/p><p class=\"timeline-desc\">January 2026 – until now<\/p><\/div>\n\n <div class=\"timeline-item\"><p class=\"timeline-year\"><\/p><p class=\"timeline-role\">Self-employed – Registered Clinical Psychologist – Wanaka Psychology, New Zealand<\/p><p class=\"timeline-place\">Delivered evidence-based psychological therapy for clients across the lifespan.
