Psychologist for burnout and stress in Amsterdam

Burnout complaints usually build slowly, and people who can handle a lot tend to notice late. You do not have to be off work to do something about it:

• you are tired, even after a weekend or holiday
• your mind does not stop, not even when you go to sleep
• things that normally come easily now take a lot of energy
• you work harder, but it never feels finished
• you wonder whether this job or this life still suits you

Rest matters, but it does not explain why you keep ending up at the same point. Patterns often play a part: perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, or the feeling that you only count when you perform. Those qualities have probably brought you a lot, which is exactly why they are hard to let go of.

Together we look at what is really going on, so that you are not back at the same point in six months.

First we understand what is going on, then we choose what fits. I work with approaches including ACT, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused techniques. My approach is active and goal-oriented: we agree what we are working towards and check along the way whether that still fits.
