Are you looking for an English-speaking therapist in Soest or would you prefer to have therapy online? I offer individual therapy sessions in English, both at my practice in Soest and online.
My name is Carolina and I work as an integrative hypnotherapist. Alongside hypnotherapy, I use methods including IEMT, EMDR and IoPT (Intention Method). Depending on you, your situation and what you would like to work on, I can use these approaches separately or combine them within therapy.
You may be struggling with anxiety or a phobia, stress, addiction, trauma, persistent negative thoughts or feelings, or physical symptoms for which no medical explanation has been found. Or perhaps you simply notice that certain patterns keep returning and you find it difficult to change them on your own.
In my work, I look beyond the symptoms themselves. Together, we explore what may be happening underneath and what you need to move forward.
The healing power of movement
I believe in the healing power of movement. Every step, however small, can bring you closer to greater balance.
You may feel stuck in old patterns, find yourself constantly overthinking, or simply long for more peace and harmony in your life. Change does not have to happen all at once. Each movement in a different direction can be meaningful.
And in a way, you have already taken the first step: you are looking for support and reading this page.
I see every person, every situation and every reason for seeking therapy as unique. I believe that we have resources within ourselves that can help us change and recover, or that we have the ability to develop these resources. Sometimes, however, we have lost touch with them or find it difficult to access them without support.
The therapeutic methods I use can help you reconnect with yourself and your own inner resources, so that you can begin to make the changes that are right for you.
Hypnotherapy, IEMT, EMDR and IoPT
Hypnotherapy is one of the main methods I work with. During hypnotherapy, we use a natural state of deep relaxation and focused attention. By directing your attention inwards, it can become easier to explore feelings, beliefs and patterns that are not always accessible through conscious thinking alone.
I also work with IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Technique) and EMDR. These methods can be used when experiences from the past continue to influence how you feel or react in the present.
Another method I use is IoPT (Identity-oriented Psychotrauma Theory), including the Intention Method.
Having different therapeutic approaches available means that we can look at what suits you and your particular situation rather than trying to fit every person into the same type of therapy.
How I work
We start with an intake session. This gives us an opportunity to get to know each other and to talk about your situation, what you are experiencing and what you would like to change.
I will also explain how I work and which therapeutic methods might be appropriate for you.
If we decide to continue, we will identify your goals, agree on an approach and schedule follow-up sessions. I often combine different methods during a therapeutic process, with hypnotherapy being one of them.
Along the way, we regularly evaluate how things are going and whether continuing the sessions is useful for you. The number of sessions therefore depends on you, your situation and the issue you would like to work on.
You are always free to decide whether you want to continue or stop. When we finish the therapeutic process, we can use a final session to reflect on the work we have done and where you are now.
Therapy in Soest or online
You can have sessions with me at my practice in Soest, the Netherlands, or choose online therapy in English if travelling to Soest is not practical for you.
Online sessions also make it possible to work together when you live elsewhere in the Netherlands or abroad.
If you want to know more or make an appointment, feel free to contact me.
