About Laurens

Hi
I am Laurens, married to Miriam and blessed with four children.
For several years, I have been working as a psychosocial therapist and helping people with various problems.
Having lived in the Middle East for many years, I am particularly skilled at building bridges between different cultures. Additionally, I speak Arabic fluently.
My own search for healing from early childhood trauma led me to write “When it storms in your life”, in which I articulate my struggles as an expert by experience and the lessons I learned from the Book of Job and modern therapy.
.
Unique:
Dutch / English / Arabic
Intercultural / Arabic culture
Gestalt / experience-oriented
Clients
I was looking for someone with knowledge of both the natural (psychology) and the spiritual, and who also relates things to God’s Word. Laurens combines those two incredibly well.
He listens attentively and looks at what you really need. You can say anything, and it feels safe and confidential.
In addition, he uses fun methods during therapy and provides good exercises and assignments to apply in your life.
