Counseling Shaped Around You

Psychosocial counseling is not about fitting every person into the same method. Our practitioners work within their professional competence and may draw on therapeutic approaches such as CBT, ACT and Transactional Analysis, depending on their training and the needs of the client.

Where your needs fall outside our scope, we will discuss appropriate next steps or referral to another healthcare professional or specialist service.

Finding the right person matters.

Meet the People Behind the Care

At Counseling House, we believe that the relationship you build with your practitioner matters. Our co-founders, Stefan Campher and Joachim Kaarsgaren, share a commitment to creating a safe, personal and professional space where people can feel heard, understood and supported.

With different backgrounds, experience and ways of working, each brings their own perspective to psychosocial counseling.
