Depression Therapists in Amsterdam, Netherlands

I help clients who feel emotionally stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed or unable to move forward. We explore the deeper patterns contributing to these feelings and work toward greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, renewed confidence, and a stronger sense of direction.

I provide Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, ACT and person-centred counselling, which are recommended psychological therapies for depression. I have experience of supporting clients who have been feeling depressed for a long time, clients who have had multiple separate episodes of depression, and young people who have been depressed since their teenage years. Often my clients have another area of mental health concern, such as social anxiety, panic attacks, traumas, PTSD, or a physical health condition. I’m experienced in supporting clients who have found previous counselling, psychotherapy or medication to be ineffective or unhelpful.

I support people that are experiencing low mood, lack of motivation, or a sense of disconnection from life. Using neuroscience-based therapy along with traditional methods we work together to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical ways to shift them. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, helping you to restore balance, resilience, and reconnect with a sense of purpose.

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 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.
