Louise | Psychologist NIP

Psychologist Groningen

My name is Louise and I am a psychologist and mindfulness trainer, as well a trained intercultural communication trainer. You can come to me for various mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, medically unexplained physical symptoms and symptoms of trauma. See my profile for the extended list.

My working method is characterized by both focusing on the emotional core of your problem or situation, as well as finding ways together with you in how you can deal with this.

Free phone consultation to get acquainted.

What can I help you with?

You may get stuck at a certain point in your life and you just don’t know how to move on. Especially as an expat or international student, it can be hard to be away from your family or friends back at home. Cultural differences can be hard to navigate. Perhaps you run into psychological issues: stress, poor sleep, worrying, fear or depression. At times like these, it’s nice if you can talk to a psychologist, who can offer professional help.

Usually these are not the nicest times in your life, but afterwards they are often very valuable. Because, what do they have to teach you? And can these setbacks eventually become a valuable fertilizer for your personal growth and future? I am happy to walk along with you during this process.

Mental Health Problems

You can contact me for the following issues:

If your issue is not listed here, you can always contact me to see if you are in the right place at my private practice. However, crisis, addiction, or serious eating problems are nor treated by me. For these kinds of problems, you can be referred to specialist mental health care by your general practitioner.

Therapy

During the sessions, we will take an extensive look at exactly what you are struggling with. While exploring together, an image of you as a person will emerge. What made you into the person you are today? And what goals would you like to set for therapy?

Besides being a psychologist and mindfulness trainer, I have been trained as an intercultural communication trainer. The therapy aims to be culturally sensitive.

Treatment methods

The treatment uses various techniques such as mindfulness, EMDR, focusing, cognitive behavioral therapy and Rogers’ client-centered approach. The treatment is holistics and involves both the mind (cognitions and emotions) and the body. The body is a wonderful entrance to work directly with the (underlying) emotion, something that is more difficult if you only work on a cognitive level. However, you will not be touched during the treatment.

Collaboration

In order to provide a tailored, holistic treatment that involves both the mind and the body, psychology practice Hart & Aandacht likes to work together with the neighboring psychosomatic physiotherapists
and a psychomotor therapist. This is optional.

Client experience

Clients often quickly experience a sense of familiarity with me and appreciate that I am able to put the finger on the sore spot in a gentle and at the same time clear way.
