More about Anja
- 3 years' experience
- Female
I am a South African Psychologist living and working in the Netherlands. I speak English, Afrikaans and Dutch. I have experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, coping with life changes, concentration, focus and memory to name a few. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happy life and to take the first steps towards change. I believe that every client is unique and therefore everyone should receive their own personal “tailor made” approach. I am here to support you on that journey.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
