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, through the lens of your accumulated life experiences, allows you to process the parts of yourself that are perhaps no longer serving you. We’ll further explore your values and ways to 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 therapies and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), we attune the counselling to best suit your unique needs. I respect and value that you are the expert in your life and I aim to facilitate you in your healing.

Ketevani Gorgiladze

Counsellor | English / Georgian / German / Russian

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.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.

Brendon Kinch

Counsellor | English / German

I'm passionate about helping people take control of their lives with purpose and clarity. My journey into coaching began with a personal mission—to create a life I actually wanted to wake up to each day. Through years of refining strategies and intentionally shifting my daily routines, I transformed my own life from one of overwhelm and stagnation to one that’s driven by joy, structure, and alignment with my values.Now, I help others do the same. Whether you're feeling stuck, burned out, or just know there’s more out there for you, I work alongside you to design practical, personalized strategies and build sustainable habits that empower lasting change. My approach is grounded, goal-focused, and deeply rooted in the belief that every small adjustment can create a massive ripple in the direction of your dreams.Let’s build a life you love to wake up to!

Cas Hebbink

Founder | Supervisor | Teacher

As a supervisor and teacher at Bridging the Gap, I am dedicated to guiding and supporting beginning counsellors through their journey of professional growth within an integrative psychotherapy framework. Together with my team, we empower our counsellors to develop a solid foundation in multiple therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, experiential, body-oriented, cognitive-behavioral, and trauma-focused modalities, training them to address diverse client needs confidently and effectively.My teaching style is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe, nurturing learning environment where counsellors feel encouraged to explore their counselling work deeply, reflect on their experiences, and cultivate therapeutic skills. Drawing from my extensive therapeutic practice and training, I emphasize the importance of integrating theory and practice while tailoring my teaching style to the unique evolving needs of each counsellor.I guide counsellors in developing the capacity to help clients integrate distinct parts of themselves, process negative past experiences, overcome avoidance, develop better coping styles, and build healthy relationships. Through personalized teaching, tailored workshops, case discussions, and hands-on experiential practice, I support counsellors in gaining confidence in their therapeutic presence and skills. I am passionate about mentoring counsellors to become skilled, flexible practitioners who embody curiosity, courage, and compassion in their work with clients.

I couldn’t be more grateful for the positive impact he has had on my life.” – M.

“From the very beginning, Cas made me feel comfortable and safe. He creates such a warm, non-judgmental space where it feels easy to open up and share honestly, something I’ve always struggled with in the past [...] I’ve learned so much about my feelings and thoughts, and how to face them instead of avoiding them [...] He’s given me practical tools and new perspectives that I can use in my daily life, and they’ve made such a big difference [...] I now feel more open, more aware of my emotions, and more capable of living with them in a healthy way.” – P.
