She had already received \u2018regular\u2019 dyslexia support. But this did not produce lasting results. As soon as the support stopped, the results stopped too.\n\nI was looking for something different, something she could continue to use throughout her life, not only for language (in primary school), but also for her foreign languages and other subjects in secondary school.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\">I wanted a different result, so I had to do something different.<\/p>\n<p>That is how I came to Davis: a method that gives you techniques you can use anytime and anywhere. I saw my daughter grow. Within a very short time (within 2 days), she started reading noticeably better and more fluently, her self-image and self-confidence grew enormously, and she became increasingly better at setting her boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>In short, she took her life back into her own hands.<\/p>\n<p>This result and the enjoyable, playful, and creative way of working inspired me to train as a Davis counsellor.<\/p>\n<p>My passion in life is to help people in a way that suits them. To be able to make a difference for them in this way.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, after graduating as an economist and marketer, I held various positions in the business world (in the Netherlands and the US). But I continued to feel that something was missing.<\/p>\n<p>After that, I completed teacher training and taught for three years in secondary and vocational education (MBO), but even there I could not fully express myself.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as a Davis counsellor, my work and the way I can help my clients make me happy every day.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"266\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.in-eigen-hand.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Profielfoto-Ellen-2024-1-266x300.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-medium\" alt=\"\" title=\"Profielfoto Ellen 2024-1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.in-eigen-hand.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Profielfoto-Ellen-2024-1-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/www.in-eigen-hand.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Profielfoto-Ellen-2024-1.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #2f3292;\" data-font-weight=\"400\"><b>Relevant Qualifications<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\">\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Certified Davis counsellor \u2013 for the following programmes: dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism spectrum.<\/li>\n<li>Teacher training, qualified secondary school teacher<\/li>\n<li>Business Economics (University of Amsterdam, drs.)<\/li>\n<li>Various masterclasses at Novilo<\/li>\n<li>NLP communication training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #2f3292;\" data-font-weight=\"400\"><b>Other Services<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\">\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\">Life Coaching<\/div>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\">Tutoring and\/or homework support for secondary school students<\/div>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\"><\/div>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\">\u2018Davis\u00ae counselling and coaching are separate and different methods and services, each offered within their own context and in separate programmes.\u2019<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-vc-full-width=\"true\" data-vc-full-width-init=\"false\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1712830483536 vc_row-has-fill\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 100px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\"><b style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Ellen van Doorn<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"\" data-font-weight=\"400\">Counselor and life coach<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\"><a href=\"mailto:welkom@in-eigen-hand.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"\" data-font-weight=\"400\">welkom@in-eigen-hand.nl<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\"><a href=\"mailto:welkom@in-eigen-hand.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"\" data-font-weight=\"400\">+31 \u2013 (0)6 \u2013 2872.4263<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\"><b style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Address<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"\" data-font-weight=\"400\">Northland 5<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div data-font-weight=\"400\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"\" data-font-weight=\"400\">2548 WB Den Haag<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row-full-width vc_clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Een paar jaar geleden kwam ik in contact met de Davis\u00ae methode toen ik op zoek was naar hulp voor mijn ernstig dyslectische, hoogbegaafde dochter.
