Trauma Treatment and EMDR in Sittard - Geleen
Trauma can subtly influence how you think, feel, and connect with others, often lingering beneath the surface long after the initial event. As a dedicated life coach at Solutions Life Coaching in Sittard-Geleen, I provide tailored trauma coaching designed to help you restore your sense of balance, build resilience, and find clarity. Based on your unique needs, I may also use EMDR-informed methods, an effective and research-backed approach for processing unresolved experiences. Whether you're feeling stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others, I am here to support and guide you throughout your personal healing journey.
Your brain remembers what you’ve survived
Trauma Coaching in Sittard - Geleen
Trauma isn’t always the result of one big event, it can gradually develop through a series of smaller experiences that accumulate over time. During our sessions, I’ll guide you in uncovering how your past may still be influencing your current thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns. By acknowledging the effects of trauma in your everyday life, we open the door to healing with compassion, not judgment. If you're located in Sittard, Geleen, I offer trauma-informed coaching to support you on your journey toward greater self-understanding and emotional well-being.
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 and no longer hold the same power over you. Through gentle, guided methods like eye movement or tapping, we engage your brain’s natural ability to heal and restore emotional balance. This process encourages deep trauma recovery and lasting inner calm.
Our work always unfolds at your pace, with safety and consent leading the way. While the memories may still exist, their emotional weight gradually fades. Many of my clients, including expats, share that they feel more grounded, lighter, and freer after just a few sessions. If you're seeking English-speaking trauma and life coaching in Sittard, Geleen, I’m here to walk alongside you in your healing journey.

Healing is the bravest kind of progress
Find lasting relief in Sittard - Geleen
The goal of trauma healing isn’t to erase what happened, but to release its emotional hold on your life. EMDR helps your mind and body process traumatic experiences in a new way, allowing you to reclaim your energy, focus, and inner calm. It’s not about forgetting the past, but about softening its impact so it no longer defines your present.
Many clients describe experiencing a profound shift, less emotional reactivity, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of inner safety. The fear starts to fade, the mental fog clears, and life begins to feel more open and grounded. If you're looking for trauma recovery or EMDR-informed life coaching in Sittard-Geleen, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
