Hypnotherapy & Psychosocial Therapy

My approach
Modern hypnotherapy and psychosocial therapy offer personal and effective ways to support you with your specific needs. Hypnotherapy uses various techniques, such as trance; a state in which you are very relaxed and at the same time very focused, allowing you to be open to what is going on inside. You can receive suggestions from your unconscious and change your thoughts and feelings, and let go of what no longer serves you.
Psychosocial therapy looks not only at your psychological issues but also at your social environment and how it influences your mental health. I use various methods, always tailored to your specific needs. The goal is to understand where your problems stem from and how your environment relates to them. In this way, you discover what you need to live a healthier and freer life.
In my sessions, I often work with creativity, because imagination forms a powerful ritual and the creative process gives lasting, tangible form to what lives within. This deepens and strengthens the therapeutic effect.

It was only late in life that I discovered there is a name for the way my brain works: neurodivergence.
My life is a great creative adventure, in which I constantly see possibilities and think outside the box. At the same time, this sometimes clashes with the expectations and structures of the world around me. This has brought challenges, but has also taught me to find my own way and to increasingly see my individuality as a strength.
What helped me with this was discovering the path inward. Slowly, I learned to listen to what was living within me. I discovered how much wisdom lies hidden within and how much can emerge when we take the space to become still and truly listen.
The creativity I was able to unleash during art school and the teacher training in Art, and the personal development during my Yoga and Yoga Nidra teacher training, have helped me tremendously on my way. They brought me closer to myself, gave me the space to feel freer, and the courage to walk my own path. Working in education, culture, and welfare has enriched me through the encounters I had with people during their own development.
And all that time, I saw and felt increasingly strongly how powerful our unconscious is. How much is already present within us. How, by paying attention to what lives within, we can discover new insights and make room for change and healing.
For me, hypnotherapy aligns seamlessly with this. It offers a unique way to move beyond thinking and connect with the wisdom that is already present within. I have personally experienced how hypnotherapy can help make room for what has been hidden or stuck for a long time, and how healing this can be.
I am curious about your story.
Perhaps you know exactly what your request for help is, but that is not necessary. You don't need to have everything clear or know exactly where to start. You only need to be willing to make space for yourself. I would be happy to walk alongside you on the path to new insights, more peace, and change that originates from within.
My studio
My practice is located in the beautiful space of Stichting WOLk which I use together with other great programmers. There is a pleasant energy and everything is there to make the therapy go well.
I did a trajectory with Marieke around a number of connected themes. The core symptom was panic in certain situations. During the sessions, Marieke took the time for intakes and asked good questions, which already allowed things to change. She applied various hypnosis techniques to investigate where the themes came from. Each time we came up with special metaphors that I can use in my life to grow. The sessions brought me more connection with myself and gave me insights into my thinking and processing processes. It gives me more self-confidence and strength to make choices, which means that panic has taken on a different meaning and no longer takes over. I found Marieke's guidance welcoming, respectful and pleasant. A nice balance of following and leading, tailored to what showed itself in me."

I have completed a number of matters that had been going on for a long time and were not yet finished. I am very grateful for the journey that I was able to undertake and for the skilled
