Therapeutic Philosophy

Van der Staay approaches therapy as a collaborative journey. She draws on Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to create a treatment plan tailored to each individual’s unique situation.

Her philosophy centres on the belief that lasting change comes from understanding the patterns that drive our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Through a supportive and non-judgmental relationship, she helps patients build self-awareness, resilience, and confidence.

Fluent in German and English, she brings a nuanced understanding of diverse cultural backgrounds, enriching the therapeutic experience for international clients.

“Lasting change begins when we understand the patterns that shape us. Therapy is not about fixing — it is about discovering your own strength.”

— Van der Staay
