Welcome

Life is in motion, and so are you.

You are a very important part. It can be overwhelming when everything seems to stand still and you have no energy left. You feel tired, emotinal or nome and wonder how to regain balance.

A tense body, a pressing feeling on your chest, tense shoulders, stress, and/or feelings of anxiety can become too much for you. Sleepless nights, overloaded with worrying thoughts that just won't stop, don't make it any easier."

Welcome to Balanskompass, I am Veronica Kroon, an Integrative psychosocial therapist, and I support you in finding your balance, so you can energetically enjoy the things that are important to you.

Through counseling & therapy in an integrative manner tailored to you and your specific situation, I guide you towards lasting change. You become aware of what you need, your direction (compass) to find your energy and balance. In contact with yourself and with others.

Would you like support and guidance now? Through my method of short-term sessions, I have no waiting lists longer than 3 weeks, unlike those within the conventional mental health care system.Together, we embark on a brief journey of about 6 sessions, so you can feel energized again and enjoy life. I understand that finding time to work on yourself can be difficult, but it's important for you. With peace and confidence, I am here to support.

Then the question arises: can a brief journey really make a difference, especially when you've been dealing with your issue for a while? This can be achieved by focusing on the core of the issue, creating awareness, gaining insights, and with support, you can address, resolve, and do what's necessary to feel good again.

What I often encounter in my practice:

anxiety
sadness
burned-out
insecurity
perfectionism and fear of failure
stress and responsibilities
feeling of loneliness
overthinking
shame, quilt
lack of energie, fatique
difficult-to-proces setbacks, events

The right time to relax is when you don't have time for it.

Brief journey:
In about 6 sessions on average, your thoughts, feelings, and physsical feeling as well as what's happening in your life, take center stage. Together, we will work on solutions for the challenges you face in your daily life. The session's content will be tailored to your specific situation. The goal of our collaboration is your autonomy, so you'll know how to proceed on your own.

We'll start with an initial intake session, which can be conducted online or in person at my practice. After the intake session, you decide whether to start the journey. It's important that you have confidence in the journey and our collaboration. This intake is free of charge if the collaboration doesn't continue. Otherwise, it's considered the first session. Sessions last for 60 minutes.

Integrative counseling & therapy

The approach consists of individual conversations in which various exercises and techniques are applied, tailored to you and your specific question. I employ coaching, counseling & therapy. No DSM diagnosis, but a tailored diagnosis makes this approach unique to you, guiding you to move forward and progress in the here and now. It ensures lasting change, empowering you to navigate your future with confidence.

The difference between coaching, counseling therapy? While coaching mainly focuses on potential, self-management, and acquiring more effective behavior, counseling is more about addressing internal barriers, therapy looks in to your timeline and the traumatic events that you had in your life.

The foundation of counseling & therapy was is awareness of the 'why,' which is crucial in achieving change. You become aware of what you need and your direction, and based on that, you take your next steps. In each session, we reflect on what you've experienced following the previous conversation, so that ultimately you achieve your goal and enjoy your life with energy.

Client testimonials:

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."

Helen,

We were so blessed that a work colleague recommended Veronica to be our coach and luckily, she was available and said yes! From the minute we met her at our first introduction meeting, I knew she was special. Not being from the Netherlands and having our first baby during Covid with no access to family was overwhelming to say the least but Veronica made the experience so calm, considered and supported us right the way through. For me, what was so unique was that Veronica looked at our whole family unit and took our life journey into account. Veronica is thoughtful, kind, smart and always thinks of the bigger picture. We really couldn’t have managed our first few weeks without her and we still refer to her wonderful words of wisdom on a weekly basis :). When I need to check in and rebalance, I always reach out to Veronica

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

Veronica Kroon

With calmness and confidence, I practice my work as an integrative psychosocial therapist 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 the Dutch Academy for Psychotherapy 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.

Who am I? As a little girl, I quickly realized that balance in life is very important, even when many things are at play that you sometimes have no control over. This was confirmed for me in my work.

I am also a mother of three children and one stepchild, and I live with my partner and dog on the water, yet still within the city. I enjoy water activities and outdoor time with my family on a daily basis. Through my personal experiences, both private and largely through my work, I can lovingly approach life's challenges.
