Path Within Therapy
Relationship & individual therapy · Amsterdam & online

Therapy

Whether you're seeking support as an individual or as part of a relationship, therapy is an invitation to reconnect — with yourself, your partner(s), and your deeper needs.

My practice focuses on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a research-based approach to healing relationships and strengthening emotional bonds.

How I work

The path within

At the core of my work is a belief that our emotions are not the problem — they're the guide. EFT helps us tune in to what's underneath the conflict or disconnection and build safer, more responsive ways of relating.

I do this work with people of various backgrounds and identities, informed by my lived experience as an LGBTQ+ expat.

Whether you're processing past hurt or stuck in a cycle of conflict, therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and move forward in a more intentional way. This work is collaborative and paced around your goals and needs.

Ultimately my aim is to help you navigate complex emotional landscapes with care, warmth, and clarity.

What can therapy help with?

What is EFT?

Emotionally Focused Therapy

EFT is a short-term, evidence-based model that helps people feel safer and more connected in their relationships. Grounded in attachment theory, it supports individuals and couples in understanding their emotional needs and learning how to express them in healthy ways.

… and what it is not
  • It is not me telling you what to do or how to feel.
  • It is not about "fixing" your partner or the way they act.
  • It is not about the therapist passively receiving your story.
When EFT may not be the right first step

Therapy is most helpful when it matches your situation. EFT may not be the best starting point if:

  • There is active violence in the relationship
  • There are untreated mental health issues or substance abuse
  • One partner is fully disengaged and committed to ending the relationship

If any of these apply, I'll do my best to help you find the right kind of support.
