Lydia Koken (MSc).

Over Willeke

Lydia is an online terpist (MSc) and NIP-registered therapist with over twenty years of experience working with adults. She supports people dealing with stress, burnout, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship difficulties. A lot of the people she works with feel stuck, going through the same situations at work or at home without really knowing how to break the cycle. Topics like perfectionism, self-confidence and finding a new sense of direction come up often in her sessions.

She works with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), positive psychology, mindfulness and solution-focused therapy, and she also offers relationship therapy alongside individual sessions.

Lydia studied psychology at Utrecht University and worked for several years as a therapist and coach at various organisations in the Netherlands. After moving to Germany she started her own practice, and she has been working with clients both online and in person ever since.

She now lives in Barcelona with her husband and three children. Having lived outside the Netherlands for over twelve years, she knows firsthand what it’s like to build a life abroad. That experience makes her a natural fit for expats and international clients. Lydia works in Dutch, English and German.
