Psychology practice in LeidenRoom to think clearly again

Sometimes you get stuck in worry, low mood or tension and can't find the way out on your own. In my practice on the Rijnsburgersingel we look at what's going on together, at a pace that suits you.

Sign upHow I work

Is this for me?

A few situations people come to me with.

Worry and anxiety

When worries take over your sleep or your work, cognitive behavioural therapy helps you handle thoughts differently. Often eight to ten sessions.

Stress and burnout

First we look at recovery, rest and boundaries. Then at what you want back in your work and life.

A difficult experience

Memories that keep coming back I treat with EMDR. A few sessions can make a big difference.

Unsure?

Feel free to call for a short chat. Even if it doesn't lead to treatment, you'll get honest advice.

Current waiting time is about four weeks. Within three working days you'll hear whether I can help.

About

Judith Smeets

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and have worked with adults since 2012. I mainly use cognitive behavioural therapy, EMDR and schema therapy, and adapt that to what you need.

I work on my own, in a small, quiet building. There's no waiting room full of people; I meet you at the front door.
