INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT
Feeling overwhelmed while keeping it all together?
I work with expats and international professionals in the Netherlands navigating anxiety, burnout, and the particular weight of building a life and career abroad.
Sessions in English and Korean.

MY BACKGROUND
Both sides of the desk.
I'm Kelly. I'm a psychologist registered with the Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen (NIP®), and I hold a Master's degree in Psychology from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Before building this practice, I spent over 15 years working in HR roles within international organizations across seven countries, including the Netherlands, the UK, ASEAN countries, and Korea.
That dual background shapes everything about how I work. Most psychologists understand emotions, thought patterns, and behavior. Fewer understand what it means to perform under sustained professional pressure — to navigate a demanding employer, to sit across from a company doctor, to try to recover from burnout while still meeting obligations you can't simply pause.
"I don't just know about work-related stress from the literature. I know what it actually looks like inside organizations — and what it feels like to navigate it as an employee."
Evidence-based, practical, and genuinely personal.
My approach draws on CBT principles and mindfulness-based methods.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, focused on building concrete tools rather than discussion alone.
CBT is one of the most extensively evidence-based frameworks for supporting anxiety, burnout, and mood-related challenges. It focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns to build more effective responses.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Mindfulness builds a more grounded relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, reduces reactivity, and supports emotional regulation — particularly useful for people whose lives demand high performance with little room for internal processing.
Mindfulness-based
I adapt to what each client actually needs. A session preparing for a bedrijfsarts appointment looks very different from one addressing relocation stress — and both require a different kind of attention. The professional and cultural context is always part of the work.
Integrative and context-sensitive
