“What a wonderful, healing experience!”
How do I work?
I work from a holistic vision attuned to your personal needs. “Holistic’ means: seeing you as ‘a whole’. I see, hear, feel you, who you really are and what you need to be more fully yourself. And: how you can do that by yourself. In your strength and authenticity.
Sessions 1:1 or for 2
Each Session is like every child/ adolescents unique. Examples from previous Sessions for children/ adolescents young are:
Depression, critical or suicidal thoughts, feeling and translating difficult emotions such as anger, sadness and anxiety, feeling at home in your body, healing eating problems and eating disorders, sleeping problems, drug use, specific events at school/home, e.g. conflicts, expressing yourself, overstimulation with high sensitivity (HSP), giftedness, autism/ asperger's.
You are also very welcome for: grief/loss (death, friendships, moving) or whatever is going on for you!
In a Session with children I often first speak to the parent/caregiver, then (also) the child, after which we come together to round up. We will discuss whether the parent/caregiver stays present during the Session. Sessions with adolescents sometimes also start together with the parent/caregiver.
I hear, see, feel You and what you need to be more fully yourself!

Ways of working
The specific way of working is tailored to and tailored to what suits the child/ adolescent in the moment.
— Evelin (2016)
Besides insightful and healing conversation other certified and experienced professional treatment methods may be tailored to your personal needs.
Possible ways of working are: insightful and healing conversation, mindfulness, breathing meditation, feeling, visualization, drawing, writing, role play, embodied & wholehearted inquiry, embodied and wholehearted inquiry (f.e. expression, physical postures, movement, yin yoga, dancing).
Parent guidance. I also often guide (one or both) parents/ caregivers in Sessions 1:1 or for 2. You may take a look at the Sessions for adults: Connection/ System sessions for this. In a Session for yourself as a parent/ caregiver you’ll receive lots of healing insights and practical tools for yourself, the child/ adolescent, and/or the relationship with each other.
Rate Session: €180 including 21% VAT. Sessions take about 60 minutes. Sessions work very powerful with attention to the unique child/ adolescent. Without endless waiting lists, intake, diagnostic and treatment processes! You can directly book your Session.
In-person & online:
Sessions for/ together with children/ adolescents are in my practice in the heart of Sittard - Geleen, nearby Zuyderland Hospital and the A2, and Online via Zoom. Sometimes I offer Sessions in a telephone consultation with the parent/ caregiver.
When making your appointment you can indicate your own preference.
What others experience:
“Because I was concerned about my son (13 years old) and about my role as a mother, I asked Maartje if she wanted to see us and we could come together. At my son's request, he first went into Maartje's practice alone and I wholeheartedly granted him that space. When he was ready, I was allowed to join. I experienced how Maartje, as a third person, made a valuable contribution to the communication between myself and my child. My son amazed me with the profound wisdom he expressed. It gave me about being able to move forward as a parent and it also strengthened me in the confidence in myself, my son and in the process of life. Maartje created a safe space for this and supported us with the most useful questions in the moment. What a wonderful, healing experience!”
