Trauma-sensitive emotional support
Individual sessions for difficult periods and life crises
Sometimes it is necessary to slow down. To return to what has not yet been fully felt or integrated. To gently welcome what has been set aside. And to allow a more peaceful, more coherent way of being to emerge – one that is more open to the humanity that every difficult passage carries within it.
These sessions are aimed at people going through difficult periods or life crises, and offer emotional support that respects each individual's pace and history.
Trauma-sensitive emotional support
My approach is sensitive to individual, intergenerational and collective trauma.
It is part of an approach that respects each person's pace, body and intelligence.
I provide support by creating a space for presence, emotional regulation and attentive listening.
A place where what has been set aside, frozen or interrupted can gradually be welcomed back and find movement again, in a safe and gentle environment.
Who are these 1-1 sessions for?
These sessions are for people going through a difficult period or a crisis in their lives. A time when something is falling apart, being reorganised, or needs to be looked at differently.
It may be a relationship, existential or professional crisis, a health-related upheaval, emotional exhaustion, or a vague feeling of losing one's bearings. Often, the people I work with are already sensitive to their inner world, but feel the need for a safe environment to get through this transition.
What I offer in sessions
One-on-one sessions provide a safe space to welcome whatever is present, just as it is.
We pay particular attention to the body, the nervous system and emotions in order to support internal regulation and the gradual understanding of the experience.
There is no imposed technique or predefined path. Each session is tailored to what is relevant to you, respecting your pace and your limits.
Session details
This trauma-sensitive emotional support is offered in 1-1 online sessions as well as in 1-1 in-person sessions in Leiden. Free guided meditations are also available to learn more about my approach.
Practical information and the specifics of each modality are detailed on the dedicated pages.
The call for inner change
You may aspire to...
- Deeper peace with your past.
- Feel fully yourself.
- Find consistency between what you feel, what you express, and what you experience.
- Perhaps also to be accompanied with humanity, in a respectful and profound setting.
But today, it may be that...
- When an unresolved past weighs on your present, your system can oscillate... Between overflow and immobility, without finding lasting regulation.
- In these moments, it becomes difficult to know where to start.
- You may find it difficult to find a space where you can truly resonate with the unique vibration of your sensitivity, with accuracy and delicacy.
Whatever paths you have taken so far – or those you have not yet dared to take – there is a place here for what lives within you.
What you experience in a session
Embodied presence & sensitive listening
You are welcomed just as you are, with whatever emerges.
We move forward step by step, based on how you feel in the moment.
In this way, your body, your history and your inner wisdom guide us.
Regulation & grounding
Anchoring, breathing, simple gestures... to support the nervous system, restore a form of inner stability, and navigate what is there with greater security.
Welcoming emotions & sensations
Depending on what emerges, we may focus our attention on the body, breathing, the nervous system, or the emotional and relational realm. Sometimes, an image, a sensation or a moment of presence is enough to pave the way for a subtle and lasting transformation.
Embracing your defence mechanisms
For 20 years, I have been supporting people through sensitive times, respecting their pace and the vital defences they have put in place. Recognising these mechanisms with kindness paves the way for greater inner security and integration.
Reconnecting with your resources
Whether it is a connection to your essence, to the Earth, to your ancestors or to a forgotten ability, we allow whatever supports you to emerge.
The guidance promotes your natural potential for regulation and clarity.
Multidimensional attunement
My guidance is based on emotional, physical, relational, spiritual, and contextual attunement.
It supports respectful transformation and allows you to rediscover inner dignity and unity.
Benevolent witness
Being fully seen and welcomed allows younger parts of ourselves, which were once alone or fragmented, to come together and integrate.
The presence of a grounded and sensitive witness repairs what could not be repaired before, opening up a space for profound transformation.
Each coaching is unique.
It is shaped by your current experience.

From wound to reconciliation: when the soul finds itself again
Working with Alexandra essentially brought me reconciliation with my wounded inner child, as well as a change in my lifestyle. In the end, I reconnected with the fact that my Soul is immortal! What could be more beautiful and hopeful! Behind every problem, difficulty and suffering, there is immense wisdom and kindness!
I also wish you the opportunity to experience this support with Alexandra, who is extremely sensitive and deeply respectful. With all my gratitude!
