Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a many-headed monster: it has many different manifestations. Something that one person with dyslexia struggles with may not be a problem for another. Especially if you are gifted, you can compensate for a great deal with your intelligence, and your dyslexia may go unnoticed. This costs an unnecessary amount of effort and energy. And causes a lot of frustration!

In our society, the entire education system is focused on thinking in words. However, every human being is born as a visual thinker and uses this talent in their early years to get to know the world. Images come naturally, and visual thinking is much faster than thinking in words. Some children are so good at this that they only develop verbal thinking much later. And this gets in the way of learning to read. We have many ‘empty’ words in our language, words that have no meaning and therefore no image. For someone who is visually oriented and thinks in images, these words simply do not exist. So you stumble over these words or skip them. How wonderful would it be if these words were no longer an obstacle? If you could simply read them too? 

I work from your talents, and together we will discover how we can use your talents to learn to read better. We use your creativity to do this, because you remember everything you create yourself!

Do you recognise any of the following in yourself or your child?

For example, do you have difficulty with: 

• Reading or spelling
• Letters that rotate or move in other ways
• Reading simple, short words
• Automating verb spelling
• Learning multiplication tables
• Spelling in general
• Writing legibly
• Maintaining your attention
• Feeling dizzy or nauseous while reading?

Would you like help with this?

Then I can certainly help you! How? 

I'd be happy to explain. I know how to help you effectively in a pleasant way. A counselling programme takes a few days, during which I teach you how to focus through relaxation and how to read and spell more easily and fluently. Depending on what you need. In a safe environment, at my practice, you will experience success. Not only with reading, but also in other areas of life. 

My programme is suitable for adults and children.

Feel free to contact me for more information or to arrange an introductory meeting, with no obligation.

The programme is also available in Dutch.

ADD/ ADHD

The way your brain works plays a role in how you experience the world: intensely, sometimes with a great deal of focus, and at other times easily distracted. We start by learning to focus, allowing you to maintain your attention better at moments when you choose to do so. But we also work on other things you struggle with, such as developing your sense of time, learning to recognise the reaction patterns of people around you and responding to them differently, breaking patterns at work, understanding where your responsibility lies and where someone else's begins, preventing burnout, etc. You take control of your life back into your own hands!

Do you recognise any of the following in yourself or your child?

For example, do you have difficulty with:

• Maintaining your attention
• Restlessness in your mind, having a head full of thoughts
• Approaching tasks in a structured way
• Organising your work
• Being easily distracted, daydreaming
• Having a sense of time: sometimes time passes very quickly, while at other times it does not
• Impulsive behaviour
• Sitting still, always wanting to move
• Understanding why people are angry with you or react the way they do

We will work together, based on the difficulties you experience and what you want to learn or change in your life. I teach you how to focus and maintain your attention through relaxation. This often already brings calm to your mind. I teach you how to organise and plan your work, which also brings peace of mind. In addition, you will gain insight into the patterns and reactions of people around you.

Feel free to contact me for more information or to arrange an introductory meeting, with no obligation.

I would be happy to tell you more about this and how I could help you.
