Reconnect with the strength within you
“Healing is touching with love what we once touched with fear.”
— What is holistic therapy?
The whole person, not
the symptom alone
Holistic therapy is an approach to health and wellbeing that considers the whole person. It recognises that body, mind and soul are connected and influence one another. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to healing and personal growth. I believe in the power of a personalised approach, where we look together at your specific situation, needs and goals.
To support healing on different levels, we integrate various techniques into the process. These may include trauma therapy using EMDR, meditation techniques, a cognitive approach to beliefs—for example, beliefs about your self-image—and body-based exercises. By combining different techniques and approaches, we can offer holistic therapy that best suits you.
Sometimes we know things in our heads, but still don’t truly feel them. This is something we can begin to work through with holistic therapy. That’s why we look beyond the symptoms. During our sessions, we work together to understand the underlying patterns that keep you from living with your authentic strength and happiness. By addressing the root of the problem, we aim for lasting results and better long-term health.
— How I can help
Types of therapy
Relationship problems & attachment
Do you keep running into the same patterns in your relationships? Together, we’ll break them so there’s room for healthy, loving connections. Recurring relationship patterns usually have their roots in attachment. Whether individually or together with your partner, we’ll work towards genuine, secure connection and communication.
Negative self-image
Your self-image is shaped by your experiences, upbringing and environment, and may have become negative without you noticing. This affects your confidence, relationships and outlook on life. Together, we’ll restore a healthy sense of self-worth, and you’ll learn to see yourself in a new way.
Fear of commitment & avoidant attachment
The tendency to pull away as soon as things get close. It can be difficult to truly connect with your feelings, your vulnerable side and your partner’s. Together, we’ll work towards a relationship where you can feel close, be emotionally available and enjoy that closeness.
Depression & mood
Experiencing sadness and low mood is part of life, but if it persists and starts to affect your everyday life, there may be more going on. Step by step, we’ll work towards feeling lightness and joy again.
Burnout & chronic stress
Burnout is more than just being tired. It’s deep exhaustion of body and mind caused by prolonged stress. Together, we’ll restore your energy and address the patterns that led you here.
Fear of abandonment
The fear of losing people often stems from early experiences and can put considerable strain on your relationships. We’ll work on inner balance and secure connection, both with yourself and with others.
Eating disorder
An eating disorder is rarely really about food. Often, it’s a way of coping with deeper pain. That’s why we look beyond eating behaviours alone and work towards recovery on a physical, emotional and mental level.
Trauma therapy
Trauma doesn’t only stem from a shocking event. Unmet needs or emotional neglect can also leave deep scars. Together, we’ll work through them.
— ABOUT LIANNA
A little introduction
I believe that only we can heal ourselves. But that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. As the founder of Holistische Therapie Rotterdam, I’m here to be your mirror and catalyst: together, we’ll explore which beliefs and protective layers aren’t truly yours, so the powerful, authentic core beneath them can shine through again.
I no longer do that alone. Together with Alieke and Nina, we support you with the same vision in Rotterdam, Capelle aan den IJssel and Utrecht.
Because pain is part of life, but suffering isn’t.
