About Christine
More than 10 years I’ve worked with people stuck in love. Couples, individuals, people in open relationships, polyamory, LAT relationships and everything in between.
I’ve heard many stories. From infidelity to sexual doubts, from attachment anxiety to control issues, from longing for freedom to fear of being abandoned. There is little that still surprises me.
What always moves me: the courage it takes to be honest, about yourself and about what you truly want.
My approach is warm but direct. I ask the questions others might skip.
Safe space
People sometimes call me with a story they think: this can’t be normal? Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn’t. But it doesn’t matter, because behind every story lies a human longing.
My role isn’t to ask the questions you don’t dare to ask. My role is to help you and the other person talk again: more honestly, more calmly, closer to what you both actually mean.
Whether you’re doubting your relationship structure, been through something you’re ashamed of, or simply don’t know where to begin: here, it’s all welcome to be said.

Then it’s time to say it out loud.
Knowledge & Training
A psychology degree gives a broad foundation. But when it comes to intimate relationships, intimacy and recovery after trauma, you need more than general knowledge. Over the past 10 years I’ve invested in exactly those specialisations, methods that demonstrably work. How I apply this in practice, read on the couples therapy page.
Level 1 & 2

Infidelity
Agression

Trauma
Attachment
Intimacy restoration and playfulness as the primary direction for relationship recovery, in that order.
Annual workshops since 2023
Longing & lasting love
Certified by Richard Bandler and Paul McKenna. Not a relationship tool in itself, but it gives me a sharp eye for patterns and automatic reactions, the layer that talk alone rarely reaches.

A clinical framework for working with people outside the standard monogamous relationship. A specialisation that most therapists in the Netherlands don’t have, including a specific framework for polyamorous clients.
