Client experiences at Psychologist Amsterdam

"Gwen is an incredibly pleasant person and has taught me to better connect with myself; my wishes were leading in the customized program, while she also gave tools just where I didn't know it myself for a while. Communication went very well and appointments were made in a professional way. I experienced the sessions with her as very harmonious and as a safe place to scatter all my concoctions under her expert guidance."

"Gwen’s patience, support, insights and truly personal approach have been invaluable in guiding me forwards. I thoroughly recommend her coaching services. You will not be disappointed.

"Brainspotting was new to me. Gwen was able to explain very well what it was and what benefits you can get from it. It was mainly doing and experiencing. I am very grateful for that, because it gave me insights at deeper levels. With the coaching included, I climbed out of a tough period and now feel lighter than ever.

Brainspotting and muscle
"The brainspotting sessions were a unique and nurturing experience that loosened and relaxed my old traumas. I loved being able to discuss my current distress and feelings each session first, then be led from there by Gwen to relaxation of those feelings through an hour of brainspotting. Relaxation by, on the one hand, allowing the now with much kindness rather than self-hatred, and on the other, by fading the constriction of the feeling. My old mantra: "I don't matter" was replaced by "I matter. This succeeded in part because of Gwen's loving approach and because of her notion that that is not a mantra but a muscle I can train. Since I discovered that muscle:

• I live more lightly
• I accept the needs of others as theirs and no longer as a sacred command to go right along with them
• I trust my "muscle power" in situations that used to blow me off my feet
• I trust the life process of both myself and others
• my relationships have also become lighter and more nurturing

"With Gwen's guidance in the form of exercises in the sessions and homework, I managed to recognize and acknowledge certain un(der)conscious patterns in work and relationships. So that I can now - consciously - make other choices. 5 stars for Gwen!"

"Doubt, doubt, doubt. That was always so characteristic of me. I couldn't make decisions because I was always afraid it would turn out to be the wrong one. That's why I remained stagnant in my work, friendships and relationships. I was fed up with this but was not making progress myself. A colleague recommended Gwen. In the conversations with her, I learned so much about myself. Now that I understand better how I am put together, I am less frustrated and like myself more. I suddenly feel like trying out new things and find out if something suits me."

"In the past year Gwen has guided me through grief and trauma processing which was accompanied by enormous fatigue and depressive symptoms. Together with me she examined step by step where the core of my grief and uncertainty lay. From there we started working in different ways to teach me to regain control over my own feelings. This process helped me tremendously."
