Services Offered
Addressing grief as such can be a great relief. Knowing that you’re not alone can warm your heart a bit when it is in so much pain. I am based in The Netherlands and work as a certified Grief Educator and a Certified Grief & Loss Counselor in the National Centre for Grief Support (LSV = Landelijk Steunpunt Verlies), The Netherlands.
Beside grief support I am an EAP-registered Integrative psychotherapist (EAP = European Association for Psychotherapy), with a private practice near Amsterdam.
I have been offering in-person and online services in an international practice for over 25 years (from 1998). I studied Integrative Psychotherapy and Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy in London (Metanoia Institute/Middlesex University) and did my training as a grief educator with David Kessler.
I really think good therapy comforts and refreshens the exhausted life-voyager. If that same therapy is also a place of understanding for the hurt of grief, it is a place where you can refind your balance in life after bereavement. My training as a therapist helps me in offering healing companionship, as a fellow human being who happens to have a bit of an idea how to navigate a landscape of emotions, non-clarity and unthought knowns. The Grief Educator training has taught me what compassionate wisdom in the case of grief looks like.
A Certified Grief Educator is committed to providing you with the highest level of grief support through education, experience, and insights into the often unacknowledged rocky terrain of grief.
When you work with a Certified Grief Educator, you can be confident that they have completed a certificate program designed by world-renowned grief expert, David Kessler, to bring his unique methodology, tools, and decades of experience to help you on your healing journey.
The Grief Educator Certificate program provides intensive training and practical tools for supporting those experiencing grief.
