Van Weelden Counselling

Trauma Therapy & Counselling in Arnhem & Online

Do you often feel like you are surviving instead of thriving?

If you feel stuck in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or if you battle with addiction, you are not alone; and there is something you can do to start feeling better.

Trauma therapy and counselling can help you get unstuck and heal painful dynamics within yourself and your relationships.

I believe in the ability of each client to attune and connect with the different parts of their self, heal past trauma, and find balance and wellbeing

Client feedback:

I could not be more at ease in my mind than I am now and as I had mentioned before, my ability to sleep soundly has not been this good since my teenage years.

Being able to communicate in English was amazing as this is the language that I am most comfortable with.

Your friendliness and insight combined with knowledge, tools and brainspotting has given me peace about my past, my decisions made and also decision making to come. My self confidence I feel is back but also understanding where my boundaries are. Again I thank you from the bottom of my heart, I was lost and you helped me find myself again and deal with the most hurtful situation I have ever been in.

Cas, NL

I am so very happy that I have found you and that we can speak and confide in English and have our wonderful enlightening and comforting sessions. I’d like to thank you for the support you have given me and I look forward to seeing you in the future!

Expat client, The Netherlands

Veerle’s knowledge of Somatic Experiencing was beyond exceptional, and managed to help me to substantially turn down my fight response within approximately 8 sessions. Since regulating my nervous system, my over-reactions, aggression and escalations have almost completely stopped. I have never known my adult self before, and I like him.

Client, Sydney

I was very cautious speaking to another person after years of trying. There are only so many times that you can share the same old story. Speaking to Veerle has shifted my cynical views.

I carry her guidance with me every day and I’m grateful. She has helped me understand myself again.

Client, Sydney

When the darkness overtook my mind, you somehow managed to open a light of hope for me… your help to change my life has been phenomenal to me.

Addiction Recovery Support

As Dr. Gabor Maté said: “don’t ask why the addiction, ask why the pain”.

Have you been struggling with addiction or a behaviour that used to help you cope with life, stress or pain but is now hindering your quality of life? I use an empathetic approach and a combination of Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, and nervous system regulation, to support healing, uncover the dynamics of your relationships (with your self as well as your addiction) and finding alternative ways to cope in order to support recovery and to shape a way of living that feels more free.
