FAQ
Below are answers to some common questions about body psychotherapy, Core Energetics, psychedelic integration, and working together in Amsterdam or online.
What is Core Energetics therapy?
Core Energetics is a body-oriented therapeutic approach that combines psychotherapy, somatic awareness, emotional expression, and energetic work. It supports deeper connection to the body, emotions, relationships, and authentic self-expression.
What happens during a session?
Sessions are tailored to the individual and may include conversation, body awareness, breathing, grounding, emotional processing, movement, and relational work. Each session is adapted to the client’s needs and pace.
What can body psychotherapy help with?
Body psychotherapy can support people experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, disconnection, life transitions, or a desire for deeper self-understanding and embodiment.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. Online sessions are available for therapy, integration, and guidance work.
Where are sessions located?
In-person sessions take place in Amsterdam. Online sessions are available internationally.
What is psychedelic integration?
Psychedelic integration is the process of making sense of and grounding insights or experiences into everyday life. Integration work may include emotional processing, nervous system support, reflection, and embodied practices.
How do you work with psychedelic experiences?
Psychedelic work is approached with care, preparation, and integration. Sessions are offered within a guided and supportive context and are tailored to the individual process and needs of the client.
Preparation, safety, embodiment, and integration are central aspects of the work. Depending on the individual situation, supportive preparatory sessions may be recommended before engaging in psychedelic work.
Each person remains responsible for their own decisions, process, and personal well-being.
Is this therapy or coaching?
The work is grounded in body psychotherapy and Core Energetics, while also integrating somatic and integrative approaches. Some people come seeking therapeutic support, while others are looking for deeper self-exploration, embodiment, or integration work. Sessions are tailored to the individual and their unique process.
How long is a session?
Therapy and integration sessions are usually 60 minutes, though longer 90-minute sessions may also be arranged depending on the needs of the process.
Psychedelic sessions and deeper process work generally take place over the course of a day and are discussed in advance.
How do I book a session?
You can get in touch through the contact form on the website to arrange an initial conversation or session.
Is Core Energetics suitable for anxiety or depression?
Body-oriented therapy may support people experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional disconnection, or stress. However, sessions are not a replacement for medical or psychiatric treatment where needed.
What is the difference between body psychotherapy and talk therapy?
Body psychotherapy includes verbal processing while also working with bodily awareness, nervous system responses, breathing, posture, movement, and emotional expression.
Is this space LGBTQIA+ friendly?
Yes. This is intended to be a welcoming and affirming space for people of diverse identities, orientations, expressions, and relationship structures. The work supports each person in meeting themselves more fully and authentically, within an atmosphere of care, respect, and presence.
Do you offer reduced rates or financial flexibility?
I recognize that financial circumstances vary from person to person. Where possible, reduced rates or flexible arrangements may be discussed individually. A limited number of reduced-rate spaces are available at one time (up to three concurrently). The support of those able to contribute at the full rate, or above, helps make this accessibility possible for others. The intention is to approach this with care, transparency, and mutual respect.
