My mission is to guide people in (re)gaining control over their own lives.

What I can offer you

A process of Inner Growth towards Inner Strength.

  • The practice offers online, individual guidance through body-oriented psycho- & trauma therapy. It is designed for people experiencing chronic stress, ranging from general discomfort to more serious challenges such as depression, burnout, anxiety, grief, and trauma. The deeper causes of the aforementioned survival patterns often originate in childhood, specifically during the first 1,000 days. My specialty is guiding people who are dealing with pre-verbal trauma, childhood trauma, sometimes in combination with PTSD.

 

  • Another theme that is very close to my heart is practicing Shadow Work. Polarization is a worldwide topic discussed daily. Does this have an effect on you? And if so, how? Are you curious about how to deal with your own inner polarization? Read more in 'services'.

 

  • In addition to the online practice, I have developed a 10-day or more individual retreat for people who need a deeper healing process. This retreat takes place on the Greek island of Ikaria.

 

Trauma can stifle our true selves and disconnect us from our own nature. This can lead to a persistent sense of powerlessness or helplessness.

 

At Inner Growth, I want to help you break these patterns and work toward recovery and personal growth.

 

I look forward to meeting you!

 

Welcome, Lena

Online Therapy Reviews

  • Lena has helped me cope with a complex mix of traumas from my past, from bullying at school to a difficult home situation, and learning to live with a reading and writing disability. Also, during the emotionally challenging period after breaking up with my ex-partner, when I was struggling with loss, grief, and my role as a father, she was a stable and loving support. She helps me find my own way in this situation while taking my role as a parent seriously, so I can grow into a better version of myself, both for myself and for my children. For anyone struggling with deep-rooted pain, past traumas, or complicated situations in the present: I can wholeheartedly recommend her. She is a valuable support in the process of healing and growth, and she helps you find your way back in your life in a warm and respectful manner. (R.-NL)

 

  • In our sessions, I became aware of early childhood trauma as well as family trauma that have significantly shaped my life. Lena has provided me with practical tools to cope with the consequences, and this support is very comforting and helpful. Another source of support is the knowledge I gained about how the nervous system functions. Lena has extensive knowledge of various disciplines. I would recommend her to everyone. (T.-NL)

 

  • I had some doubts about whether online guidance with trauma therapy would work for me. Leen suggested doing a free trial session so I could decide afterwards whether I wanted to continue or not. I am pleasantly surprised by the result! The combination of feeling in my body in slow motion and receiving an update on how our brain handles old pains and letting go of freezing has already brought so much space and lightness into my body! I will continue a bit more to learn even better how I can regulate my nervous system myself! (P.-B)

 

  • Thanks to the online guidance from Leen, I became aware that I had a body with which I had little to no connection. I am now working at my own pace to reconnect with my feelings through various exercises. I felt very supported after a breakup a year ago. I feel like a different person, and I am starting to enjoy life. (L.-B)
