Not above you, but beside you

I'm Anje van Gelder, 34 years old and trained as a psychologist. After studying Clinical Psychology, I supported some 300+ clients in mental health care.
When I became a mother, I stopped working as a therapist to take a thorough look at my own patterns. I discovered the value of creativity and slowly but surely reconnected with myself, through abstract painting, photography, interior design, illustration, art and music. That's how Coach Atelier BLUME began.
I know all too well what it's like to get stuck in today's society. I've been on a long search for who I am and what suits me. Nothing human is foreign to me. As an art therapist and psychologist, I don't stand above you, but beside you. I offer a place where you can be completely yourself. From that safety, there's room to grow and bloom.
I'd love to meet you and work on your question together. You're welcome!
