Postpartum Depression Therapists in Amsterdam, Netherlands

I support women experiencing postpartum depression and the complicated feelings that can accompany new motherhood. This time often brings identity shifts, grief, anxiety, and overwhelming demands that don’t match what you expected or what others describe. Together, we’ll create space for all of your emotions and help you find clarity and healing amid the challenges.

I provide Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, ACT and person-centred counselling, which are the recommended psychological therapies for depression. I have experience of supporting clients who have had a previous episode of depression before their post-partum/ post-natal depression, and clients who have been feeling depressed for a long time.

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.
