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? 

Davis® works from your talents, and together we will discover how we can use your talents to help you 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 am a Davis® counsellor and 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.

I work with adults and children. So you are never too old for Davis counselling!

A completed Davis counselling programme is a gift for life.

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

The programme can also be provided in Dutch.
