The most meaningful and transformative moments in my life have been based in authentic connection with others, being seen and accepted for where I am in my process, without judgement. I continue to experience this with people I meet along the way, and fostering this space for them has solidified my interest in collaborating towards their personal growth.

Chrysoula Dimaki

Counselor | English / Greek

I believe that true understanding and healing come from exploring the interconnected layers of our inner world. My journey began with studies in psychology and dance, which taught me how our minds, emotions, and bodies process experiences and relate to others. This work, combined with my experiences volunteering with marginalized communities, showed me the importance of building a balanced self and nurturing authentic, embodied connections.My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect. I'm committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel empowered to explore your experiences and pursue your goals. By tuning into what's most relevant for you, I combine different therapeutic approaches to help you process past and present experiences, develop greater self-compassion, and live a more authentic and meaningful life.Together, we'll navigate your healing, self-discovery, and transformation.

Yonina Izsak

Counsellor | English / Hebrew

I facilitate an empathic space from which we embark on your healing journey. By exploring emotional, mental and behavioural patterns, you gain insight into your inner layers and workings. Compassionate and non-judgemental enquiry into the meaning and purpose of these patterns, allows you to process the what is no longer serving you. We’ll further explore your values and help you align yourself with them to live a more fulfilling and personally meaningful life.My approach is integrative with a transpersonal perspective, which recognises the importance of exploring aspects of your life beyond the psyche. By honouring the interplay between mind, body and spirit, I aim to help you deepen your connection with your authentic self and with the world. By further integrating principles from humanistic approaches and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), we attune counselling to best suit your unique needs.In the end, you are the expert of your life, and I aim to facilitate you in your healing process.

Ketevani Gorgiladze

Counsellor | English / Georgian / German / Russian

My journey as a counsellor began as a path of self-discovery, a deep reevaluation of what truly matters and, ultimately, a transformation of my career. Rooted in my background as an artist, designer, and former athlete, I bring a unique blend of strength and sensitivity.I support people who feel stuck, who find themselves repeating old patterns or are not sure about their next steps or vision for the future, who are asking deeper questions about meaning and purpose, are navigating major life transitions, career shifts, changes in identity, or relationships— where clarity feels far away and the path uncertain. My role is to create a safe, collaborative space where you can discover clarity, reconnect with your values, and move toward living more authentically.

Lotte Chemaitis

Counsellor | English / German

I have always been curious and passionate about getting to know people and their life stories. By learning from my friends, family and relations I developed my ability in listening to what people feel and providing a safe and warm space of trust, honesty and acceptance.My journey to counselling was driven by a desire to help people create a sustainable relationship with themselves, others and their environment. By moving to the Netherlands to study Psychology, I widened my horizon for diverse cultural backgrounds and experienced a new culture myself.By exploring interpersonal dynamics, emotional experiences, and behavioral patterns, we get to the source of symptoms and difficulties. My aim is to help you connect more with your body, address unmet needs, foster greater self-understanding, and promote an integrated sense of self.Let's start your journey of self-discovery and work towards a fulfilling life!
