Claire Timmermans

Online Psychologist and Online Psychotherapist

As a psychologist and psychotherapist I have over 15 years of experience in the

diagnosis and treatment of psychological issues, including trauma (PTSD), depression,

burnout, and anxiety. I have worked in private psychotherapy practices and

outpatient work settings of mental health institutions. 

These last years I have focused on working online. Working with online therapy and

online psychotherapy has become more prominent.

The development of  technology has made the world smaller, but it can make the world bigger for people in  search of health care. Nostra Forza offers complete online treatments, via video call, chat and email. I hope that with online therapy people experience a lower threshold to ask for help, because they can work on their recovery from a private and safe environment, at a time which is most convenient for themselves.  Under TESTIMONIALS you can read about experiences of people who preceded you.                                                        

I specialized myself in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing), Schema Focused Therapy, Person Centred Therapy, Mentalization Based Treatment and Mindfulness. As a licensed online psychologist and psychotherapist I am committed to the well-being of all my patients, and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek. 

As supervisor I offer online supervision for psychologists (in training to become a cognitive behavioral therapist) and psychotherapists in training. When you work with clients or patients, supervision is of utmost importance. Not only for an optimal treatment and security for your patients, but especially for the development of yourself as a therapist. For more information about online supervision you can contact us trough our contact form.

Therapy for me means working together on change in a trusted and secure atmosphere. Noticing what you are dealing with and what is going on in your mind helps you to become aware of processes in yourself and in contact with others. This provides room to change and to exercise with other, new behavior. Research indicates that one of the most important parts of a successful treatment is the relationship between you and your psychologist. We're going to work together-so it is important that you feel safe to discuss and examine everything.
