Why Choose Schema Therapy with Praktijk-dinamo?

At our practice, Schema Therapy isn’t just a method — it’s a compassionate, personalized journey we take together. Here’s what makes our approach unique:

✅ Culturally Sensitive, International-Friendly Care

We understand that identity, culture, and background play an important role in how we experience emotions and relationships. Our therapists are experienced in working with expats, international students, and multicultural clients, offering support that respects your story and values.

✅ Evidence-Based & Holistic

We integrate the latest evidence-based techniques from CBT, psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness, while staying grounded in the proven principles of Schema Therapy. Your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your needs — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

✅ Warm, Non-Judgmental Space

Therapy should feel like a safe space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. We work in a collaborative and supportive way, always aiming to build trust, emotional safety, and long-lasting change.

✅ Flexible & Goal-Oriented

Whether you’re looking for short-term support for a specific issue or longer-term therapy to address deeper patterns, we’ll work with you to define clear goals and track your progress together.

✅ Specialized in Complex Emotional Issues

Our therapists are trained to help with chronic emotional difficulties, such as long-term anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, unresolved trauma, and persistent mood swings. Schema Therapy is especially helpful if you’ve tried other therapies and didn’t feel fully understood.

Our lead therapist is a recognized Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with over 9 years of clinical experience in working with individuals facing a wide range of emotional, relational, and psychological challenges.

Our approach blends Schema Therapy with other evidence-based techniques such as CBT, EMDR, and emotionally-focused therapy — offering a personalized and integrative path toward real, lasting change.

With nearly a decade of experience, she brings not only clinical expertise, but also deep empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a genuine commitment to helping you feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Schema Therapy combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and emotion-focused techniques. It helps you identify deep-rooted patterns (called “schemas”) that developed during childhood or adolescence, and which may still be influencing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors today — often without you realizing it.

With the help of Schema Therapy, you can:

Break free from negative patterns in relationships
Strengthen your sense of self-worth
Learn to set boundaries and express your needs
Understand and heal past wounds
Regain emotional balance and well-being
