Trauma Treatment and EMDR in Amsterdam
Trauma can quietly influence how you think, feel, and connect with others, often lasting long after the experience has passed. As a life coach at Solutions Life Coaching in Amsterdam, I offer personalized trauma coaching to help you restore balance, build resilience, and gain clarity. Depending on your needs, I may include EMDR-informed techniques, a powerful and research-supported method for processing unresolved experiences. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, I’m here to support you throughout your healing journey.
Your brain remembers what you’ve survived
Trauma Coaching in Amsterdam
Trauma doesn’t always stem from one major event, it can gradually build through a series of smaller experiences over time. In our sessions, I’ll support you in exploring how your past may still be influencing your thoughts, emotions, and patterns today. By understanding how trauma affects your daily life, we create space for healing, not shame. If you're in Amsterdam, I offer trauma-informed coaching to help you move forward with greater clarity and self-awareness.
You can rewire how it feels
Heal with EMDR
I use EMDR techniques to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their emotional intensity. With guided methods like eye movement or tapping, we engage your brain’s natural ability to heal and restore emotional balance. This approach supports deep trauma recovery and lasting inner calm.
We always move at your pace, with safety and consent guiding each step. The memories may still be there, but their emotional weight gradually fades. Many of my clients, especially expats, share that they feel more grounded, lighter, and free after just a few sessions. If you’re looking for English-speaking trauma and life coaching in Amsterdam, I’m here to support you.
Professionally certified
About me
Get to know me
I’m Virginie van Driel, a life coach with over 30 years of experience in counseling, mental health, and addiction support. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from the U.S. and a Dutch Bachelor’s in Education, along with credentials as an LCADC, LPC, and NBCC. While I don’t work as a psychotherapist in the Netherlands, I am a registered psychologist with the Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen (NIP). My coaching approach is grounded in professional expertise and shaped by a warm, personal connection.
Each session is practical, goal-focused, and tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re dealing with stress, trauma, relationship issues, or addiction, I’ll support you in finding clarity, focus, and resilience. I am also trained in EMDR, which can be integrated into the coaching process when it serves your healing.
You don’t need to have it all figured out, just the willingness to begin.
Healing is the bravest kind of progress
Find lasting relief in Amsterdam
The goal of trauma healing isn’t to erase the past, it’s to release its emotional grip on your life. EMDR helps shift how trauma is stored in the mind and body, so you can reclaim your energy, sharpen your focus, and reconnect with a sense of calm. It’s not about forgetting, it’s about softening the intensity so it no longer shapes your present.
Many clients describe a deep change, less emotional reactivity, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of inner safety. The fear fades, the fog lifts, and life begins to feel more open. If you're looking for trauma recovery or EMDR-informed life coaching in Amsterdam, I am here to support your healing journey.
