Qualifications and experience

My ways of working and being have been shaped by my own experiences; from early childhood on I found inspiration in nature, I lived through many transitions and I value the importance of taking time out for yourself and walking the journey together with a trusted person while going through change.

My work is further inspired by my training in and practice of visual arts and writing, music and dance; authentic movement, Feldenkrais, yoga and meditation. At the moment I am studying somatic experiencing, pain-science and IntrinZen also pertaining to the relationship between humans and animals.

Qualities I bring to my work are the capacity for creating a safe space and relationship, for deep listening; offering clarity and wider perspective, new ways to connect to your imagination and appreciation for the complexity of every person and every life.

Before working in France I was in private practice in The Hague, The Netherlands and ran a company organizing nature retreats.

Prior to that I lived for many years in India and worked as co-director of The Jung Center India ,which organizes training programs and seminars.

In an earlier career I worked internationally for humanitarian organisations as a human rights lawyer.

I am a certified Jungian psychoanalyst and received my post-graduate training in Zürich at the International School for Analytical Psychology. As a member of the Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists and the International Association for Analytical Psychology I am bound to their ethical code. In France I hold membership in the Association Jungienne de Psychoanalyse d’Occitanie
