Couples Therapy the Netherlands | Online sessions available 

You've had a loving and fulfilling relationship for years, but sometimes a relationship problem can arise gradually or suddenly. Couples therapy has proven to be an effective way to thoroughly discuss important relationship issues. I am happy to help you with a concrete and goal-oriented approach that yields quick results.

When to choose couples therapy?

Frequently asked questions from couples:

• “Communication is difficult and we constantly misunderstand each other”
• “My partner is in love with someone else and has had a long-hidden affair”
• “I had a one-time affair. How do I deal with this best?”
• “We constantly have intense arguments, and it’s damaging our intimate connection”
• “We have disagreements about parenting”
• “Our intimacy and sexual relationship are on the back burner”
• “We’re a newly blended family and have issues with ex-partners and the children”
• “I want children, but my partner is older, already has kids, and doesn’t want more”
• “I think my husband has Autism”
• “My partner has ADHD and it’s disrupting our relationship”
• “Does my husband have Narcissistic Personality Disorder?”
• “My husband won’t attend couples therapy—are individual sessions an option?”

Senior Couples Therapist in Zoetermeer | Registered Systemic Therapist

I am a senior couples therapist with over 30 years of experience, seeing many couples for years. My relaxed yet engaging working style usually helps me quickly build a good working relationship. Being an older, male therapist often makes a difference. Usually, we wrap things up after 5-6 sessions, as couples feel empowered to continue on their own.
