English-speaking couples therapy in Amsterdam

A step outside the city

Amsterdam moves fast, and a relationship rarely gets quiet attention in the middle of that. Many clients from the city find it helps to step out of it for an hour. My practice in Uithoorn sits a short drive south, far enough that the noise drops away, close enough to reach easily after work.

If a trip across town doesn't fit your week, online sessions via video are a full alternative. Same attention, same confidentiality, you only need a quiet room where you won't be interrupted.

At home or on location in Amsterdam

Travelling to Uithoorn doesn't always fit a busy Amsterdam week. So I also come to your home, or we meet at a quiet location in the city. That keeps the threshold low, even when you have little time between work and other commitments.

Prefer to come to the practice instead? The drive from central Amsterdam takes twenty to thirty minutes, and there's ample free parking right outside in Uithoorn.

Sessions in English, for expats and internationals

Amsterdam is an international city, and not every couple shares a first language, or a first culture. I coach in both Dutch and English, and I'm used to working with expats and mixed-nationality couples building a life here.

That matters, because language and culture shape how you argue, how you show care, and what stays unsaid. We can work in the language you feel most at home in.

Living far from family and your usual support network puts its own strain on a relationship. So does relocating for one partner's work, or dating in a culture and language that aren't your own. These are the situations I work with most with internationals here.

In person in the Amsterdam area, or online anywhere in the Netherlands — whichever fits the life you're building here.

Good to know

I work as a certified relationship coach (SNRO-accredited, trained at Sonnevelt): practical and forward-looking, with no waiting list and no referral needed, and we can usually start this week. If something heavier calls for clinical care, I'll say so honestly and help you find the right place.

How I can help

Wherever you are right now, there's a place to start. Together as a couple, this is coaching for couples. Single and finding dating heavy, or stuck in the same pattern? Dating coaching for singles looks at what sits underneath it. And if you'd rather work on yourself first, with or without a partner alongside, that's individual coaching.

Starting from Amsterdam

It begins with a free, no-obligation call of around 15 minutes. We get a sense of what's going on and whether it clicks, before you travel anywhere or commit to anything. From there we choose what works for you: the practice in Uithoorn, online, or on location in Amsterdam.

Follow-up sessions last 60 to 90 minutes, depending on what's being discussed that day. We decide on frequency together: weekly, every two weeks, or another interval that fits your rhythm.
