A good therapist or a good psychologist


It can be difficult to find a good therapist or a good psychologist who really understands you & really helps you with the difficulties & challenges that you encounter. To find a good psychologist or therapist that suits you, it is best to see if a psychologist or therapist speaks your language a little & really understands you and is not too theoretical, too vague or too limited. And it is important that the psychologist or therapist is not distant or not very interested, but that you have a bit of a connection.

What you discuss is very personal and that is why it is important that you have a good feeling with a psychologist or therapist and that you have the feeling that the psychologist or therapist can be trusted and that you feel a bit at ease - or can start to feel at ease. Because it can of course feel a bit uncomfortable at first when you discuss your personal, vulnerable issues with a psychologist or therapist - but the contact must feel good (or start to feel good) for you.

Background & experience

Personal & involved


A psychologist or therapist is only good if you are effectively helped within a reasonable time. Unfortunately, many psychologists follow restrictive protocols and/or are very theoretical & academic - and book knowledge is very limited. And if you are unlucky, you will come across a therapist who is very airy & vague and does not have the insight that you need. As a result, you do not get the help that you really need in your circumstances & in the difficult reality of your life.

Fortunately, there are also good psychologists & good therapists and it is important that you find a psychologist or therapist with whom you can not only get along, but who also has real insight & experience with the problems that you are facing - and who can convey this in depth to you in various ways. Because if a psychologist or therapist does not have the insight and/or life experience that you really need and/or knows how to reach you well, then that will not really help you any further.

Searching for a good psychologist or therapist


I had to search for a good psychologist or therapist myself for a long time and unfortunately I have come across many psychologists & therapists who were, to put it mildly, rather limited in their capacities and social & didactic skills and unfortunately had little real life experience and the associated psychological & emotional development. But that was partly my fault of course - I used to be quite headstrong.

Most people really do benefit from the average psychologist or therapist, but that did not apply to me. By the age of 25 I had already experienced a lot, traveled a lot and seen & done almost everything - and read & studied almost everything in the field of psychology and philosophy. This in combination with my complex problems, a high iq & my not so easy personality at the time, a lot of assertiveness & headstrongness, was too difficult a challenge for most psychologists & therapists.

Finding a good psychologist or therapist


It was very painful & frustrating for me to be confronted with psychologists & therapists who mainly worked from theories, protocols & book knowledge, which meant that they thought their treatment should work theoretically - but in practice it did not really do so. And it was very painful & frustrating to follow all possible psychological trainings & educations and to notice that there was often little really useful insight.

With a lot of pain & effort I finally managed to find all the pieces of the puzzle by consulting many different psychologists, therapists & wise people in different countries & continents. Although I would have preferred a somewhat easier path, I can probably save you such a long & difficult search through this extensive & very diverse experience.

Over the past decades I have been able to help other people with their sometimes complex problems & challenges effectively with great commitment & interest. My combination of sound knowledge and extensive personal experience & insight has proven to be very successful over the years and with that I would like to help you with the difficulties & challenges you encounter, so that you gain insight & control and can (re)find & increase your balance & confidence.
