About me

Therapist in Amsterdam, kind, warm, inclusive, and no judgment. CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy) for intrusive thoughts, anxiety, depression, burnout, expat integration, challenges, French English

I'm Megan, a women-only therapist and empowerment coach.

With a first-class honours degree in Psychology and Counselling, alongside further academic training in approaches such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), my work combines psychological understanding with practical tools to support meaningful change.

My approach brings together top-down and bottom-up ways of working: exploring our thoughts, beliefs and behaviours alongside our emotions, bodily experiences and nervous system. I'm interested in understanding the whole person — not just what you are struggling with, but what you are feeling, what has shaped you and what you need to feel better.

Perhaps you're exhausted from overthinking, struggling to feel good enough, finding it difficult to manage your emotions or repeating the same dynamics in your relationships. Maybe you're navigating a major life change, feeling disconnected from yourself or trying to find your place in a country that doesn't quite feel like home yet. Whatever brings you here, you deserve support that takes your experiences seriously and helps you understand what you're going through.

Having lived in four countries myself, I understand how living abroad can bring freedom and opportunity alongside loneliness, uncertainty and a shifting sense of identity. When so much around you changes, it can be difficult to know where you belong or how to feel grounded in yourself.

Our work is a space where you don't have to hold everything together. A place to feel heard without judgement, make sense of what's happening beneath the surface and develop a kinder, more secure relationship with yourself. Together, we can work towards easing the weight you're carrying, helping you feel more emotionally grounded and giving you practical ways to navigate life's challenges — so you can feel more like yourself again.

If you’re struggling and need support, you're welcome to get in touch. We can talk about what you're going through and whether working together feels like the right fit.
