Hallo, mijn naam is Michael van Nguyen.
Ik ben een erkend psychosociaal counselor in Nederland en werk al 21 jaar professioneel in de geestelijke gezondheidszorg.
Ik heb werkervaring in: verslavingszorg, complexe zorg, gehandicaptenzorg, autisme, ADHD/ADD, NAH, schizofrenie, dubbele diagnose, traumaverwerking, levenscrisis, rouw en verlies, eetstoornissen en nog veel meer.
Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat we – ondanks de problemen die we in het leven ervaren – zelf ook de expert en schrijver zijn van ons eigen verhaal. Naast je problemen beschik je namelijk ook over persoonlijke krachten die je beschermen en je helpen om de uitdagingen van het leven aan te gaan. Religie en/of geloof kunnen je daar zeker bij ondersteunen.
Geloof in God en/of in jezelf kan je helpen de eerste stappen te zetten naar een gelukkiger leven. Dit vraagt om moed en soms een beetje steun. Gelukkig hoef je dit niet alleen te doen. Wij bij BetterHelp, en ik als jouw persoonlijke counselor, staan voor je klaar! Wij zullen je ondersteunen en begeleiden gedurende dit hele proces. Samen zetten we stappen, zoeken we naar mogelijke oplossingen en werken we aan jouw gestelde doelen – met als uitgangspunt een meer vervullend en gelukkiger leven voor jou.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Michael van Nguyen

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.

- 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.
