Anxiety Therapists in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Anxiety can show up as constant worry, avoidance, physical tension, or the exhausting need to control everything around you. Whether you’re dealing with specific fears, social anxiety, health concerns, or a general sense of dread, these feelings can make everyday life feel overwhelming. Therapy offers a space to understand what’s driving your anxiety and develop practical tools to manage it . Together, we’ll work on breaking the cycles that keep you stuck and help you build confidence in facing uncertainty.

General levels of anxiety have risen in recent years. Anxiety is the most common mental health problem in the US and Europe among teens and young adults, especially white females. If you are struggling with anxiety or panic attacks, I offer you 12 weeks of Autogenic Training to find your inner strength and learn how to control your mind.

I provide Cognitive Behaviour Therapy which is the recommended psychological therapy for panic attacks, agoraphobia, social anxiety/ social phobia, other phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalised Anxiety Disorder* and stress/ burnout. I have several years experience of supporting clients who had been bullied at school or gone through workplace bullying, harrassment, stalking, domestic violence and court proceedings. During my professional qualification I chose to specialise in panic attacks and agoraphobia for my research and dissertation. I have provided therapy for clients who had phobias of elevators, buses, trains, underground trains, bees, dogs, hospitals, needles, blood, injuries, and childbirth. I can also provide CBT for depression, traumas and PTSD. (*GAD also known as chronic neurosis is excessive and persistent worrying about several areas of your life, worry that is out of proportion with the situation and interfering with day-to-day life, a feeling of not being able to control worrying, and difficulties around overthinking and planning for potential problems that have not occurred.)

Are you avoiding situations due to anxiety? Is it stopping you from living a full life? Anxiety attacks can produce an unpleasant cocktail of symptoms; sweating palms, nausea, palpatations, hyperventilation and feelings of paranoia. As anxiety is usually triggered by specific circumstances, many people find themselves avoiding those situations where they may experience anxiety, this in itself can exacerbate the problem, especially if those situations involve work, travel or socialising. With cutting edge psychological tools anxiety can be a thing of the past in between 1 and 4 sessions.

Bognor Regis, Bristol, London, West Sussex I am an integrative counsellor so covered this in my studies alongside years of experience and continued professional development

Amsterdam's progressive culture has historically made therapy and self-reflection a normalized part of city life, and the city has a well-developed private ecosystem serving its large international and expat population. The Dutch public mental health system (GGZ) provides psychiatric and psychological care, though waiting times for publicly funded slots are long and many residents access private therapy through supplementary health insurance. Amsterdam's large Moroccan, Surinamese, Turkish, and Indonesian communities drive demand for culturally aware and multilingual therapists. The city's severe housing shortage has created sustained financial anxiety, and therapists here frequently address the stress of maintaining affordable living in one of Europe's most expensive cities.
