Paula van Grieken,
MSc psychologist and Couples therapist


Having worked as a registered psychologist in China, Spain, Australia, Portugal and The Netherlands, and being an expat myself, I aim to provide an open-minded space that welcomes diversity.
Through my experience practicing psychology with individuals, couples and families from diverse backgrounds and ages, I have found a common factor we all seem to be longing for: connection.
