About English-speaking therapist Gwen Langenberg in Amsterdam

My name is Gwen, I’m the mother of a beautiful, now grown-up daughter. Together with my Portuguese partner and our two sweet dogs, I live in Amsterdam. I’d love to take you along a little part of my life’s journey — a journey that has shaped me into the woman and therapist I am today.

The way I work is deeply rooted in my own life experience, my search for meaning, and a heartfelt desire to support others with genuine presence and awareness as they navigate their own path of healing and connection.

Speaking through movement

From the moment I could stand on my legs and move, I knew that my form of expression lay not so much in speaking, but in movement. When I was 18, I left Limburg for Amsterdam to study performing dance at the Hoge School van de Kunsten (AHK). A dream I cherished with heart and soul came true for me. My body was allowed to speak. To this day, I am still working in theater.

Practicing yoga became a nice balance to balance the stress and high performance of dance. From the age of 19, I have studied yoga philosophy, the secure and healing form of asanas (postures), breathing techniques and meditation/mindfulness. So I lovingly impart this wisdom and knowledge through yoga classes and workshops. Eastern science has had a great influence on my perception of life and I bring these rich accumulated experiences into my current practice.

Well-being on every level

I have always been concerned with health, vitality and resilience. Both physically and mentally, these are of great value, but not always obvious. I certainly have experience with that myself as well. The question "How do you get moving toward the finest, most beautiful version of yourself?" keeps me enormously busy. For myself but especially for the people around me. In order to expand my knowledge in this area, I felt it was a natural step to choose for human-oriented trainings (Coaching & Counseling, Brainspotting and Psychodynamic Therapy) and eventually to open my practice. Together with you I like to explore.

Working in my own practice

Within my practice I bundle all my knowledge and experience. Every time again I find it a fantastic challenge to work with a unique person, like you, to find out how your problem arose and what you need to get moving again. I see my work as teamwork. Together in connection looking for movement on the desired level.

I work from a holistic perspective with the connection between body, thoughts, emotions and consciousness. Your question is always leading in the process. Together we move forward to let you grow into the most beautiful version of yourself. You are most welcome.
