Isha
Expat Psychologist Leiden
Hi! If you're an expat/international, and are struggling with your mental health, then you're welcome at my practice in Leiden!
I am an international psychologist (Indian) and having been through the struggles that most expats face, I am able to empathise with those themes. My basis lies in the client-centered approach (holding genuineness, empathy and unconditional positive regard at its core).
Building on that I use CBT, Schema Therapy, ACT and EMDR. I offer individual therapy in English and Hindi.
Being an international comes with its struggles that, in my years of psychological practise, I have come to find, are universal. Stress, anxieties, loneliness, depression, feelings of not-belonging, grief are just some examples of suffering that need an empathetic ear, compassion, and connection to work through.
At my practice, I offer individual therapy for adults to work through your mental health difficulties in an insightful manner.
Therapy can be short- term, complaint-oriented and solution-focussed, or long -term, focussing on insight and/or changing long term patterns that might be causing you suffering and holding you back in your life. I do not follow a protocolised, one-size-fits-all approach. I believe that therapy should be tailored to your needs.
Whether you feel anxious, depressed, stressed, lonely or lost, I'm here to help, and it's going to be okay.
Would you like to know more or make an appointment, feel free to contact me*.
