Welcome

Hypnotherapy & Counseling for Anxiety, Overthinking, and Stress in Amsterdam

For calmness in your mind, relaxation in your body, and trust in yourself.

When anxiety, perfectionism, and constant pressure start to take over, you may begin to feel stuck. Your mind keeps going, your body remains tense, and it becomes harder and harder to truly relax.

You might recognize feeling of being exhausted, becoming easily overstimulated, or perhaps feeling somewhat numb. Emotions may build up without a clear reason, and it can become difficult to create movement or change within that. You know that something needs to change, but it is not clear how to find calm, confidence, and balance again.

Tension can also begin to show itself more clearly on a physical level.

For example, as a tense body, pressure on the chest, stiff shoulders, or feelings of stress, anxiety, or panic. Sleepless nights and persistent worrying thoughts can make everyday life feel increasingly heavy.

In my practice for hypnotherapy and counseling in Amsterdam, I guide people who long for more calm in their mind, relaxation in their body, and a sense of confidence in themselves.

With hypnotherapy and counseling, we work in an integrative way that is tailored to you and your situation. Together we explore what may be happening beneath the surface and which patterns might be contributing to anxiety, overthinking, or tension.

Through greater insight and awareness, space for change can emerge.

In my practice, I work with short-term programs. The waiting time is usually no longer than about three weeks. On average, we work together for 6 to 10 sessions, step by step moving toward more calm, energy, and balance.

By combining hypnotherapy with counseling and relaxation techniques, we can explore and change deeper patterns of anxiety, stress, and overthinking.

The guidance in my practice in Amsterdam is calm, personal, and adjusted to your pace. The goal is that you can experience more balance, resilience, and enjoyment in your life again.

Integrative counseling & psychotherapy

Hypnotherapy & Counseling – for anxiety, overthinking, tension and sleep problems

Hypnotherapy and counseling combine several effective therapeutic approaches that are tailored to your personal situation. The aim is to experience balance again in thinking, feeling, the body and behavior.

In my practice I work with an integrative approach in which hypnotherapy is combined with counseling, body-oriented techniques and self-regulation. This allows underlying patterns that cause anxiety, overthinking, tension or poor sleep to be addressed at their core.

What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention. You probably recognize it: when you are completely absorbed in a book, film or thought and the world around you fades into the background for a moment. Or when you are cycling somewhere and suddenly wonder: have I already arrived here?

During hypnotherapy this state is used consciously to direct attention inward. In this relaxed and focused state it becomes possible to work effectively on changing deeper patterns.

How does the guidance work?
Counseling and hypnotherapy help to break patterns and inner blocks that hold you back. It is not necessary to analyze everything from the past in detail again. Instead, we mainly look at what influences you now and what is needed for you to experience calm, confidence and balance again.

The foundation of the guidance is awareness. You gain insight into what is going on, what you need and which direction suits you. From this clarity, space for change can emerge.

During the sessions, your experiences are central. Step by step we build on what begins to move, so that you not only experience change but also develop skills that you can continue to use independently later on.

No standard approach, but personal guidance tailored to you.

Working with programs

Because complaints such as anxiety, tension and overthinking often occur together and affect both the body and thoughts and feelings, I work with programs that address the whole picture. Each program has a clear structure and is tailored to your situation. In this way we work step by step toward more calm, clarity and recovery.

A program offers:

clarity and calm
a clear structure
a greater chance of sustainable results

Together we look at which program best suits your situation and capacity at this moment.

Veronica Kroon

Welcome to Balanskompass. I’m Veronica Kroon, an integrative counselor- therapist and I’m here to help you rediscover your balance so you can enjoy the things that truly matter to you with energy and vitality.

With calmness and confidence, I practice my work as an integrative counselor in a goal-oriented manner, where genuine and authentic connection between the client and me takes precedence.

Trained as an Integrative coach, counselor & therapist at de Nederlandse Academie voor Psychotherapie in Amsterdam, I guide clients in my private practice and online.

In addition to my own practice, I work one day a week as a freelancer for a general practitioner's office, allowing me to find a middle ground between conventional care (medical approach) and complementary care, thus offering the best guidance for patients and clients.

I am assertive, empathetic, and unbiased. Everything is allowed to exist. On one hand, I offer loving confrontation when needed; on the other hand, I provide clarity and humor.

Before starting my practice as an integrative psychosocial therapist , I worked in the pedagogical field and spent years in maternity care. From maternity care, I took the step to broaden my horizons, driven by my love and compassion for people and the life phases that accompany them, to provide deeper-level guidance.

What gives me energy and joy, and what makes my work so meaningful and interesting, is the moment a client completes the process and has shifted from “I feel stuck” to “I’m curious about what else I’m going to notice and experience.”

Clients testimonials:

Irena;

I went to Veronica feeling at my lowest, after long therapy with a therapist from my own country, that I was feeling stuck at. After a little over 2 months I am feeling calmer than ever , thanks to the guidance of Veronica. She is very interactive in the conversations , which I value highly , she gives you just the right push in the right direction, but she lets you see and figure it out on your own . She acknowledges your progress, which gives you good stimuli to continue the work . I will definitely go back to her for reconnection with myself when I need it one day again.
Thank you for everything, Veronica, your guidance has helped me immensely!

Melita;

I have worked with Veronica now for 6 months and her practical and empathetic approach to counseling has done marvels for me.
I was concerned that I would struggle doing therapy with someone who was not of my same nationality, she quickly showed me that she is very versatile, a great communicator, listener and counselor.
100% would recommend her to anyone who is feeling stuck and needs help listening to their inner voice and momentum to move forward.
Thank you.

Evelien;
The sessions with Veronica have brought me more awareness and clarity. In a decisive manner, she asked just the right questions that helped me gain more insight into myself, my thought process, or my own beliefs. As a result, she helped me step out of certain patterns. I can now adjust even more consciously because I have learned to use my own compass even better.

Mireille;
Veronica is genuine and gives you the tools to regain control over your emotions and thoughts, your own life and your perception of it by listening carefully and zooming in on complex and sensitive situations in your life.

Daan;
"I came to Veronica with a problem that was bothering me on a daily basis. I wanted to get to the core of it and understand why I had to deal with my 'problem' every day instead of learning a trick to stop it. With the right questions from Veronica, we came closer and closer to the core, and I realized what the underlying problems were for me. This made me very aware of what is going on inside me, which I wouldn't have been able to do without Veronica's sessions. We looked at this and anchored my new intentions in the 'subconscious', and I immediately experienced changes. It's fantastic, and sometimes confronting, to get to know yourself like this and to experience change so quickly. In short, super."

Lizette;
Veronica helped me to identify exactly what I could work on. By looking together at certain patterns in my behavior and analyzing them, I gained the necessary insights into what I was constantly struggling with. She took the time to do this and put me at ease. She uses the right words to reassure me and pushes where necessary. After a few sessions, I already noticed improvements in my work situation, and it now continues in my daily life as well. We did many sessions online, which worked well for both of us.

Siegrid;
What incredibly pleasant and valuable sessions I have had with Veronica. From the very first moment, it felt immediately comfortable due to the wonderful energy, openness, and love that Veronica radiates.
She truly takes the time for you, listens attentively, and ensures that at the end of a session, you go home with a good and positive feeling. Thank you for helping me regain my strength through you!

Charlotte;
Veronica exudes a calmness and tranquility that quickly puts you at ease with her. She asks the right questions and has helped me, in an assertive manner, revisit memories and attach a more positive emotion to them. I would recommend everyone to go to Veronica!

Guilliano;
Veronica has helped me dig deeper into the origins of my various thoughts, feelings, and fears. I was partly aware of this already, but she has assisted me in getting to the core of what triggers me and how to deal with it. I now experience much more mental peace!

Ilona;
Thank you so much for all the wonderful insights I have discovered during your sessions. Within 10 minutes, you were able to get to the core of the problem. I've also been able to process traumas I didn't even know were still blocking me in my body. During an active imagination exercise, I encountered my inner child. A very special experience. As a result, I've been able to heal a part of myself. This awareness has made me feel freer to enjoy the things that are important to me again! Love, Ilona
