More about Gidi
- 15 years' experience
- Male
Ik ben geaccrediteerd psycholoog, coach en counselor en ik heb ruim 15 jaar met het begeleiden van mensen. Ik heb ervaring in het helpen van cliënten met stress, burn-out, angst, depressie, zingeving, eigenwaarde, dertigers dilemma's, midlife crisis en loopbaanvraagstukken.
Ik ben daarin niet alleen professional hulpverlener, maar ook ervaringsdeskundige. Uit eigen ervaring weet ik hoe lastig het soms kan zijn, om de juiste hulp te vinden en om weer in contact te komen met je eigen antwoorden. Uiteindelijk geloof ik dat je zelf alle antwoorden en inzichten in je draagt, maar dat het soms lastig is om daar weer contact mee te maken. Daar help ik je graag bij.
Een begeleidingstraject bij mij is altijd maatwerk. Tijdens de intake maken we kennis, verkennen we je vraag en onderzoeken we met elkaar of we een goede match zijn en of ik je kan verder helpen. Vervolgens formuleren we thema's en doelstellingen en gaan we in de vervolgsessies stap voor stap aan de slag met je hulpvraag. Je ontvangt van mij tussentijdse opdrachten zodat je zelf actief werkt aan je eigen thema's.
Woorden die mij typeren als hulpverlener zijn: empathisch, intuïtief, waarderend, onderzoekend, verdiepend, vertrouwen, kalm en verbindend

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
