Connection Heals
Bea Kovacs
Psychologist in Leiden
I believe it is the honest connection with ourselves and our significant others that can create the space for old wounds to heal.
I’m a psychologist based in Leiden with an expat background and a special interest in cross-cultural psychology and
the body-mind connection in therapy.
I work with symtpoms such as depression, anxiety, psychotrauma, burn-out, relationship problems, grief, identity issues and low self-image.
Therapeutic approach
Providing unconditional acceptance and a safe, non-judgemental space is one of my most important goals in my therapeutic relationships. From that foundation I aim to facilitate everyone’s own process of understanding their patterns and realising what they need to change, or to accept.
Summer Sessions
In the summer of 2024, Connection Heals is launching a project of short-term therapy at a reduced price!
More about what kind of issues I work with
Some periods in life might bring up difficult emotions we’ve never felt before, and are not sure how to deal with. Examples can be:
-You’ve been feeling low, unmotivated, lost joy in things you used to like, feel hopeless and depressed for weeks at a time
-Worry extensively, are stressed or anxious often, or feel the need to control things you cannot control
-Are struggling with memories from the past that keep coming back and affect your daily life, or you avoid things that remind you of those events in order not to feel that overwhelm
-You have problems related to work; boundaries at work, pressure, or communication difficulties with colleagues
-A loss (of a job, relationship, an important person or place) that you feel overwhelmed by and don’t find your rhythm again
-You’ve been grieving and you feel stuck in it or would like to process it
-You struggle socially; are anxious in social interactions, or keep having conflicts and misunderstandings
-You feel lonely, misunderstood, disconnected from others while you’re longing for connection
If you would like to better understand (or change) the above difficulties, it can be good to talk them through with a therapist.
