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

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
