I am Dutch from origin and came to live in England seven years ago. I worked as a philosopher and artist whilst in the Netherlands. Out of this interest I trained as a psychoanalytic child and adolescent psychotherapist in London. At the moment I am training to become a psychoanalyst as well. I still take part in art projects and I occasionally publish poetry.
During my training and work experience I gained a lot of understanding in working with children and young people, their complex difficulties and diagnoses and I am grateful for the work I am doing, I find it very fulfilling and rewarding and I learn from it every day.
I am a lover of nature and appreciate long walks and gardening, on rainy days I like reading a lot and listening to music.
