A little bit about Manon
I have been a therapist since 2005, starting in the Netherlands where I grew up. Having worked with a range of people of different ages and backgrounds, I learned that majority of my clients have experienced trauma at some stage in their lives. Learning about child development, adverse childhood experiences, neurobiology, and family relationships gave me more focus on the work I wanted to do.
In June 2020 I opened my private psychotherapy practice in Port Douglas where I provide therapy to families, couples and individuals.
Through EMDR therapy I have seen significant shifts in people's life for the better, clients have noticed changes such as; feel confident about themselves, stronger sense of identity, feeling good enough, not feeling afraid, more in control of themselves. Therapy helps give people a different perspective on themselves, others and the world around them.
I am trained and experienced in a range of other therapeutic modalities, including:
-
Body and Movement Psychotherapy
-
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
-
Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Sensory Integration Therapy
