Ana Maria Benito
Psychologist NIP
My statement
I believe that many individuals have the capacity for change when given the opportunity, tools and guidance they are searching for.
I have developed a practice where my clients feel they have a safe and confidential space where they can discuss their past experiences, curent relationships and are able to set goals to move their lives in the direction they want to follow.
How I work
The focus of my practice is to address the challenges of negative feelings and experiences and explore the possibilities for creating new narratives and finding balance and security in people's current lives. My approach focuses on each particular client, taking into consideration their personality, emotions and each individual's unique needs.
I have more than 30 years of experience working as a psychologist abroad and in the Ex-pat community in the Netherlands
Some clients request short term consultations, others need more in-depth and lengthier treatments.
I work with Psychodynamic & Integrative approaches when necessary and I have training in Psychoanalytic Theory.
