Caroline | Body oriented therapist, trauma therapist
Therapist Zeist
Are you stuck in your work, private life or relationship and do you want more control over your own life? Would you like support to get moving so that you can enjoy yourself again and continue as you would like?You are welcome in my practice for body-oriented psychotherapy, coaching and training. Development in mental toughness and resilience is central to my work. I treat a variety of complaints and requests for help, including guidance with stress management and burnout, anxiety and depression, insecurity, mourning and loss, high sensitivity, personal development and career guidance.
Your experience is central
I would like to help you shape your life. Your experience is central during the therapy. I help you to understand psychological and physical complaints from within and help you to be yourself more so that complaints diminish. In addition to insightful conversations, I use methods that have proven to be effective, such as body-oriented work, Somatic Experencing (SE), Compassion Focused Therapy, mindfulness and meditation, (self) compassion, relaxation techniques, positive psychology, breath work, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), visualizations, systemic work (family constellations), gestalt and yoga.
Body, heart and head
In my work I guide clients to bring our body, heart and head more into balance. Working with your mind and your body is central to this, in my work and in my life. Your body always provides an entrance to literally and figuratively move and to make contact with what is essential to you. With attention you create space and you put your energy in motion again. Vitality, focus, personal strength and relaxation are the result.
My strength is to create an atmosphere of friendly attention, compassion, trust and acceptance. I quickly get to the core and take you to a deeper and broader understanding of yourself, your life, your strength, your relationships. Others call me involved, warm, curious, calm, firm and sharp.
People from different parts of the Netherlands know where to find me, mainly in the region of Zeist, Utrecht, De Bilt, Bilthoven, Driebergen, Werkhoven, Bunnik, Maarn, Soest, Leusden, Amersfoort.

Method
We start with an intake interview where there is room for getting acquainted and exploring the request for help. We discuss the goal of the counseling and together we draw up the corresponding treatment plan. We evaluate after about 3 or 4 sessions and at the end of the process there is a concluding meeting. The number of sessions depends on the request for help, the circumstances and the person. Every process is unique and requires customization. During an intake interview I can estimate the number of sessions. This is usually around 5 and 12 sessions.
Most common issues I support people with:
- Tension and stress complaints: Burnout and overstrain, recognize stress factors and learn to handle them, restlessness, excessive worrying, sleeping problems, fatigue, being easily irritated, concentration problems, recognizing and daring to indicate boundaries
- Anxiety Symptoms: Panic, fear of failure, fear of what others think, fear of commitment and separation anxiety
- Depression: Sadness, lack of self-confidence Self-image,
- Self-esteem: Feelings of insecurity, negative self-image, inferiority, life stage problems, assertiveness, lack of self-love/self-care, difficulty in contacting others
- Grief and loss: Processing the loss of a loved one, your health, your job, giving a place to a bad event
- High sensitivity: Using high sensitivity as a strength, recognizing and daring to indicate boundaries, managing energy
- Guidance with pain and/or a (chronic) illness: dealing with pain and illness and integrating this into your life, acceptance (long covid, fibromalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome)
- Career and professional development: Clarity and direction of your career, expressing qualities and talents, creating focus, dealing with perfectionism, meaning in your work or life, rediscovering pleasure and the art of life
