In addition to being a registered Drama and Schema Therapist, I also incorporate other therapeutic approaches into my practice, including Psychodrama, ACT, Narrative Therapy techniques, Narrative Sandplay, and Polyvagal Theory.

As a supervisor, I am registered with the LVSC (National Association for Supervision and Coaching), the Dutch Association for Schema Therapy, and the British Association of Dramatherapists (BADth). I am also registered with the ISST (International Society of Schema Therapy) as a Supervisor in individual schema therapy.

Below is a brief overview of the courses and additional training I have completed. I am currently undertaking the advanced training in Psychodrama, in which I am specializing in the Therapeutic Spiral Model (TSM) method developed by Kate Hudgins.
