Lineé Van der Meer

* I'm currently not accepting new clients I view issues and challenges brought to therapy through a holistic lens and believe that body, mind and spirit are all equally important for optimal well-being. My clients are women who present with a wide range of issues and challenges. Often, life transitions and change – pregnancy, new motherhood, menopause, divorce/separation, immigration – are the impetus for seeking therapy. Other times it might be difficulties in relationships, depression/low mood, stress and anxiety. I also have a special interest in working with issues related to sex, pleasure and sexual self-concept. My therapy approach is eclectic and determined by what will best suit my client and their unique needs. I draw mainly on psychodynamic, person-centred and CBT theory and techniques. In addition, much of my work is informed by attachment theory, polyvagal theory and somatic psychology. For healing to happen, we must first feel safe in our bodies. My goal is to help clients to become more embodied and develop their ability to navigate their nervous systems. This puts them in a better, more empowered position to work with their wounds and challenges and ultimately supports them to live with more ease. Coming to therapy is a big step and takes courage. My aim is to support you to feel comfortable, safe and at ease as you embark on your therapy journey.
