Dr Siebrecht Vanhooren
Certified Focusing-Oriented Therapist
Certified Focusing Trainer
Personal Statement
As long as I can remember, I have been fascinated and intrigued by the essence of life and the interplay between our thoughts, feelings, interactions and our purpose in life. It is not a coincidence that my personal path led me to study psychology and that I specialized in person-centered, existential and focusing-oriented psychotherapy. Focusing helps us to reconnect with our our deeper bodily wisdom when we search for meaning and purpose in life. Focusing helps us to contact our inner guide when we feel lost and scared. Focusing helps us to heal and nurture parts of ourselves that need special care and to find new ways to engage with ourselves, with the others,the world and the Sacred.
