Practitioner

My name is Ceres Horsmeijer (1983), BIG-registered psychotherapist and senior schema therapist. I work with patients who are hindered in their lives by persistent patterns, often related to problems in the personality. Together with the patients, I look at experiences from their childhood and history that gave rise to current thought patterns and behaviors. The approach is person-oriented, with the complaints and request for help as a guideline. The starting point of the therapy is always to increase self-reflection and self-compassion.
