Wat is IFS?

In-Person Sessions in Nijland Near Sneek

Sometimes you know something needs to change.

You keep pushing through, taking care of everyone else, staying busy and trying to manage everything on your own.

Yet underneath, you may feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected or stuck.

From my therapy practice in Nijland, near Sneek, I support people who long for greater calm, self-trust and connection with themselves.

Together, we explore what is happening beneath the surface and create space for lasting change.

Check out my frequently asked questions about online therapy and my approach to trauma therapy.

My Approach:
IFS and Somatic Therapy

IFS helps us understand the different parts within you.

Examples include:

  • the perfectionist

  • the inner critic

  • the people pleaser

  • the anxious part

  • the part that always wants to stay in control

These parts often developed to protect you, even if their strategies are no longer serving you today.

Your body holds experiences, emotions and patterns of stress.

Through greater body awareness, you can learn to:

  • recognize signals earlier

  • regulate stress and tension

  • feel more grounded

  • reconnect with your needs

  • develop greater self-trust

Sometimes the mind understands, but the body still holds on — because we can’t always think our way out of what we feel.​

WHAT BRINGS PEOPLE TO IFS

Therapy That Goes Beyond Talking - Insight alone is often not enough for lasting change.

Many forms of therapy focus primarily on thoughts and the intellectual mind.

That is why my work with IFS and somatic therapy focuses on the connection between mind, body and emotions.
