I specialise in the psychological impact of chronic health conditions and medically poorly understood symptoms, medically-related distress, and weight-related difficulties, including disordered eating. I also have a professional interest in life changes, including international mobility. I obtained a PhD from King's College London in Psychology about Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) and associated comorbidities, and the BPS Stage 2 in Health Psychology. I have several years' experience working as a practitioner psychologist in the NHS at Guy's & St Thomas' Hospital in London.
I help people adjust to chronic illness, persistent symptoms, weight-related distress, health anxiety and life changes. I can offer appointments in English or Dutch. I tend to work in a collaborative, integrative way, that is tailored to the individual.
I have extensive published research and clinical experience in the psychological impact of long term conditions, which is underpinned by lived experience. As an expat, I am also very familiar with the challenges of emigration and moving countries.
