How I can Help
Is your child or teenager struggling and in need of mental support?
​
The modern world is an increasingly complicated and busy place. The challenges that young people are facing today are more complex than the challenges we faced growing up.
​
As a certified coach I can guide children and teenagers to discover the root cause of their challenges and guide them to be confident, and resilient. I can help discover the (often limiting) beliefs that challenge them and work on building positive coping skills.

Confidence and Self Esteem
Children with high self-esteem feel confident and are open to trying new things. They feel proud of themselves and can more easily cope with mistakes. Even if they fail at first, they will try again. Low self esteem, on the other hand, makes children feel insecure and lonely. They find it hard to cope with mistakes and might easily give up. Low self-esteem is often connected to negative core beliefs. By identifying these beliefs we can challenge them: are they really true? We then define and create positive beliefs and coping mechanisms. Ultimately, this replaces self-criticism with self-compassion.
Life Changes
Many children in The Netherlands have a multicultural background. They often live in a country that is not their country of origin, or that of their parents. They are often referred to as Third Culture Kids. They tend to build relationships with people of various cultural backgrounds, while not always having full ownership of any culture themselves. Being a world citizen can lead to psychological problems such as lacking a sense of belonging, unresolved grief and loss, social issues, or anger and depression. Acknowledging the reasons behind your child’s struggle after major life changes forms the first step towards acceptance. We will then build awareness to the fact that certain issues are ‘normal’, creating a feeling of relief and acceptance.
Emotion Management
Emotion management is the ability to be aware of, and constructively handle emotions - both positive and challenging ones. Children and teenagers often experience a lot of pressure from school, friends, social media or global issues they worry about. This causes emotional stress. Children are often unable to understand and control their emotions. I can guide your child to identify and understand his or her emotions. Together we will discover skills to manage situations that trigger emotions and focus on how to deal with them. Your child will become mentally stronger and able to understand and use emotions in a positive manner.
Resilience
Resilience is the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging situations. It is the ability to bounce back from stress, adversity, failure, etc. Resilience is a skill that all children are able to develop. It involves the psychological and behavioural flexibility to respond to change and challenges. Resilient children are curious, they enjoy healthy risks and they push themselves outside of their comfort zones. They develop a growth mindset and are confident in their abilities to reach their goals. Resilience starts with awareness. With cognitive behavioural theory we can analyse beliefs and behaviour, set goals and focus on strengthening their skills.
