Are you feeling stuck and unable to find your way out on your own? I'd be happy to help guide you in the right direction. My name is Leonie and as a psychosocial therapist, I specialise in treating people with (complex) trauma. Complex PTSD can arise from repeated traumatic experiences in (early) childhood or in relational settings. This can lead to a range of symptoms that are often not recognised as trauma-related.
Trauma causes you to lose connection with yourself, and as a result, with the world around you. I can support you in the process of reconnecting with yourself. You will gain insight into your own behaviour, which will enable you to better manage your emotions and triggers. By tapping into the body’s healing capacity, you can regain your sense of autonomy, vitality and liveliness.
I also focus on treating clients who have experienced physical or psychological abuse. This could have been caused by growing up in a highly unsafe family environment or being in a destructive partner relationship. From experience, I know how important it is to be able to tell your story to someone you feel safe with, so you can begin to acknowledge and process what you’ve been through.
I work with a method based on the work of trauma expert Janina Fisher. In addition to my training as a psychosocial therapist and Domestic Violence specialist, I have also completed a course at the Academy for Massage Therapy.
Are you experiencing symptoms such as:
- Anxiety/panic attacks
- Sadness/depression
- Feelings of guilt and shame
- Eating disorders
- Sleep problems
- Dissociation
- Loss of a sense of the future/indifference
- Negative self-image
- Distrust/hypervigilance
- Difficulty managing emotions
- Physical symptoms with no clear cause
- Difficulty forming or maintaining (intimate) relationships, fear of commitment
- Need for control/perfectionism
- Self-destructive behaviour
Or are you experiencing other symptoms? If so, you're also welcome to get in touch for an initial consultation, free of obligation. Together, we can design a treatment plan tailored to your personal situation and focused on long-term recovery. Since psychological issues/trauma often manifest as physical symptoms, it’s possible to incorporate (intuitive) massages into the treatment plan. Scheduling a massage is also possible independently of a treatment plan.
