Welcome

Life is in motion, and so are you.

You are a vital part of that movement. It can feel overwhelming when everything seems to come to a halt, leaving you drained of energy. You may feel fatigued, emotional, or emotionally flat, and wonder how to regain your balance.

A tense body, a heavy feeling in your chest, tight shoulders, stress, or feelings of anxiety can become too much to handle. Sleepless nights filled with endless racing thoughts only add to the difficulty.

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.

Through counseling, and therapy tailored to you and your specific situation, I guide you toward lasting change. Together, we will identify what you need, your personal direction (your compass), to help you regain your energy and balance—bringing you closer to yourself and, in turn, to others.

Do you need support and guidance now?Thanks to my short-term programs, there are no waiting lists longer than three weeks. Together, we will begin a journey of 6 to 15 sessions, on average, to help you feel energized again and enjoy life. I understand it can be challenging to find the time to focus on yourself, but your well-being is essential. With calmness and trust, I’m here to support you.

Integrative counseling, therapy & relationship therapy

Integrative psychotherapy combines recognized therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs, focusing on restoring balance across all dimensions of human functioning: thinking, feeling, physical, and behavioral.The approach involves individual sessions incorporating various exercises and techniques, such as ACT, EFT, CBT, Schema Therapy, EMDR, solution-focused therapy, hypnotherapy and various trance techniques.

No medical 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 & therapy is more about addressing internal barriers and 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.

Short-term program

In 6 to 15 sessions, we focus on your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and the challenges you’re facing in your daily life here and now. Each session is tailored to your unique situation. The goal of our work together is to enhance your autonomy, empowering you to move forward independently after the program. We begin with an intake session, either online or in person at my practice. After this initial meeting, you decide whether to start the program. It’s essential that you feel confident in both the process and our collaboration.

Clients 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 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 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.
