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.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
