I am an English speaking, South African trained Psychologist based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I provide both online and face-to-face sessions for adults and couples. 

My interest in human behaviour is stimulated by the variety of my life journey. My exposure to various cultures and diversity has emphasised that human behaviour is not a “one-size-fits-all” template. 

As mentioned, I was trained in South African. Both my Bachelor of Arts and Honours in Psychology were completed through the University of South Africa (UNISA). My Masters in Clinical Psychology was completed at the University of Johannesburg (UJ). Working within multi-disciplinary teams at a psychiatric and general hospitals have given me a good foundation for understanding human behaviour and its complexities and management.

Treat yourself Kindly, Listen to yourself Gently – Julie Cameron


My therapeutic approach is integrative in nature. I consider the individual holistically and draw from different perspectives to tailor the therapy to their needs. I place importance on being mindful of the role each individual’s environment, spirituality and interpersonal relationships play as well as interact and influence behaviour. I am very conscious of the link between mind and body. Therapy can often be scary and challenging, thus it is my aim to provide an empathic and warm space in which these equally freeing and challenging discoveries can be explored. Through co-creation and reflection it is possible to find healing and growth.

The initial session will be for history-taking and each session will run for 50 minutes. Each session will need to be settled by the client directly as I am not affiliated with any of the Dutch medical insurances. Contact me for more information regarding the rates.

The ultimate goal of therapy… it’s too hard a question. The words come to me like tranquillity, like fulfilment, like realizing your potential     - Irvin D. Yalom

couples therapy

Couples therapy is offered to couples that are dating, engaged, married, life partners or co-parenting. Couples therapy provides a safe space in which difficulties and/or expectations can be explored. The focus is placed on clear communication between each individual with the aim to develop effective communication strategies. The couple are able to co-create and collaborate, in order to work toward a common goal.

adult individual therapy

Individual therapy provides a collaborative and explorative environment for one’s current or past struggles. Therapy can be supportive in nature or become an in-depth examination of the self. The individual is always considered holistically with a focus on developing self-awareness and insight. Therapy can be short, medium or long-term, depending on the needs of the individual. Adult therapy is offered to individuals from age 18. An integrative approach is used, tailoring therapy to each client’s needs.
