Trauma Treatment and EMDR in Heerlen
Trauma can quietly affect how you think, feel, and connect with others, often remaining long after the original experience has passed. As a life coach at Solutions Life Coaching in Heerlen, I offer personalized trauma coaching to help you regain balance, strengthen resilience, and find clarity. Depending on your individual needs, I may include EMDR-informed techniques, a powerful and evidence-based approach for processing unresolved experiences. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, I’m here to support you on your healing journey.
Your brain remembers what you’ve survived
Trauma Coaching in Heerlen
Trauma doesn’t always come from a single major event, it can slowly develop through a series of smaller experiences over time. In our sessions, I’ll help you explore how your past may still be influencing your thoughts, emotions, and patterns today. By recognizing how trauma affects your daily life, we create space for healing with compassion, not shame. If you're in Heerlen, I offer trauma-informed coaching to support you in moving forward with 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. Through guided methods like eye movement or tapping, we activate your brain’s natural ability to heal and restore emotional balance. This approach supports deep trauma recovery and a lasting sense of inner calm.
We always move at your pace, with safety and consent guiding every step. The memories may still be there, but their emotional weight gradually fades. Many of my clients, especially expats, say they feel more grounded, lighter, and free after just a few sessions. If you’re looking for English-speaking trauma and life coaching in Heerlen, I’m here to support you.

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 practice as a psychotherapist in the Netherlands, I am a registered psychologist with the Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen (NIP). My coaching approach combines professional expertise with a warm, personal connection.
Each session is practical, goal-oriented, and shaped around your individual needs. Whether you're dealing with stress, trauma, relationship challenges, or addiction, I’ll support you in gaining clarity, building focus, and strengthening resilience. I’m also trained in EMDR, which can be integrated into our sessions when it supports your healing process.
You don’t need to have it all figured out, just the openness to take the first step.
Healing is the bravest kind of progress
Find lasting relief in Heerlen
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 reducing the emotional intensity so it no longer shapes your present.
Many clients describe a meaningful shift, 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 Heerlen, I am here to support your healing journey.
