Herlinde Gerrits

I am an integrative therapist and hypnotherapist. In coaching or therapy, it is not really about me. It is mainly about you. I see adults, and I also offer relationship therapy. Everyone is welcome, unless a diagnosis needs another kind of treatment. People come with trauma, depression, burnout, physical complaints (SOLK), relationship questions, and grief.

I trained as an integrative counsellor and coach at the Nederlandse Academie voor Psychotherapie in Amsterdam. After that I went on into the master, including the classical hypnotherapy module. I have been with De Academie since 2015 as a student, and since 2019 as a teacher and as a therapist for trainees. I am listed there as an integrative therapist ECP in training. Beside the practice I work at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam as a coach and communication trainer.

I am a calm woman, with a playful side too. Feeling always plays a large part, and because the problem sits inside, the solution is often there too. I tune the work to you and I use your imagination, because that works more strongly than willpower alone. Sometimes we choose hypnotherapy, to draw on the unconscious. I also use EMDR and coaching techniques. Somewhere, you already hold your own answers. Theatre is my main hobby, and I use what I learn there in the practice.
