Jeltje (the practice dog)

This psychotherapy practice has something very special, well...someone very special, my helper Jeltje. She is a Welsh Springer Spaniel that loves people more than anything in the world,  except for food obviously....

Dogs can play a valuable role in the therapeutic process, offering a unique and supportive presence that contributes to emotional well-being and personal growth. More precisely, they help by offering emotional support, reducing anxiety, and building trust. Their presence enhances communication, promotes mindfulness, and fosters empathy and social skills. Dogs can serve as metaphors, encourage responsibility, and provide cognitive and behavioral benefits. They can aid trauma healing by creating a safe space. Incorporating dogs into therapy is a collaborative decision, ensuring individual comfort and preference.

Inclusivity

In my clinical practice, I am dedicated to fostering an environment of inclusivity and acceptance, where every individual is not only welcome but celebrated for their uniqueness. My goal is to provide a safe space where people from all walks of life can embark on their journey towards a fulfilling and meaningful existence. I firmly believe that each person's path to self-discovery is personal and distinctive, and it's my privilege to guide and support them in developing their own identity in a way that resonates with their true self. By embracing diversity and honoring the individual narratives that shape us, I aim to create a therapeutic alliance that is founded on respect, empathy, and authenticity. Through collaborative exploration and an open-hearted approach, my aspiration is to empower individuals to navigate life's challenges, celebrate their strengths, and ultimately find their own path to living a life that aligns with their aspirations and values.
