Old patterns lead to persistent struggles. By creating space and time to explore these patterns — in thoughts, emotions, and the stories we tell ourselves — something new becomes possible: a different relationship with yourself, your work, and the people around you. What you’re looking for is within reach. Together, we’ll look with curiosity and compassion at what seems to be standing in your way. Do any of these feel familiar?

I work from a place of trust in your resilience. Together, with genuine curiosity, we explore what you’re looking for. We create a space where everything that seems to be in the way can show itself and be met with warmth and understanding. When what is “old” in you is felt and understood in connection, healing arises — and you can move forward. There is now room for something new.

I follow online body-oriented therapy with Ehsan and I am very satisfied. Ehsan creates a safe atmosphere in which I can share openly. He listens in a way that makes me feel genuinely heard and understood, while also asking exactly the right questions to help me get out of my head and connect more with what I feel physically and emotionally. Through this I discover a great deal about my emotions, my own needs, and what I truly want. What strikes me is how skilled Ehsan is at picking up signals from my posture even through an online video call, which makes the sessions incredibly effective. Compared to previous therapies, I have made far more progress here. I wholeheartedly recommend his body-oriented therapy.

Ehsan created a calm and safe setting that allowed me to access different layers of my feelings. He had a real sense of me and asked exactly the questions I needed to understand myself better.

The sessions with Ehsan were a truly special experience. They gave me a safe space to connect with myself and with emotions I wasn’t consciously aware of. His calm way of guiding made it easy for me to understand my own unconscious patterns.
Diederik Jansen
Client 2025
The sessions with Ehsan are remarkable experiences. Through the SE sessions and my contact with Ehsan, I’ve become calmer, stronger, and more self-aware. Ehsan creates the time and space to really experience your body and emotions. Working together with him, I gain greater insight into how I function — my body, my thoughts — what I need, and I’m learning to pursue my life goals with more intention.

I am very happy with the therapy I received from Ehsan. For me it was the first time that I felt really safe during therapeutic sessions. This had a positive influence on the quality of the sessions. All so we had quite a few online sessions. Although I was a little sceptic on forehand, we reached the same quality in the sessions. Ehsan is really good in focusing on the details. It made that I could really feel what was going on in my body and mind. Thank you so much for this Ehsan!
Wessel
Client 2025
When I started working with Ehsan, I have already done lots of somatic work and wasn’t sure how much value I would get from the work. It’s been more than 2 years and now I consider working with Ehsan a big and regular part of my ongoing healing journey. His ability to combine multiple modalities stood out, and helped me go deep into levels I haven’t explored before. I definitely recommend Ehsan’s work!

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Browse our frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is body-oriented therapy covered by my health insurance?
This depends on your insurer and your supplementary package. Because I am a certified therapist, my sessions fall under ‘alternative care’. In many cases, this is (partially) reimbursed and does not count toward your deductible. I always recommend checking your policy with your insurer beforehand. A first (free) introductory consultation is always without obligation.
What kind of issues can I come to you for?
My approach is specifically focused on themes that come up in daily life. I help people who struggle with:
- Stress, anxiety, or panic.
- Insecurity and a lack of self-confidence.
- Persistent negative thoughts.
- Difficulty feeling or communicating personal boundaries.
- Unprocessed (childhood) trauma that has become stored in the body.
- Feeling ‘stuck’ or like there are walls around you.
We use evidence-based methods such as Somatic Experiencing and NARM to address these on a deeper, physical level.
Do you offer online therapy, and is it effective?
Absolutely. I offer full online sessions via video call. Clients find this highly effective, as you can attend the session from your own, familiar environment. Even through a screen, I can pick up on the subtle signals of your posture and nervous system to guide you well. Online packages also come with a set discount compared to in-person rates.
What is your availability for sessions in Amsterdam or online?
For online sessions I am available year-round, and for in-person sessions in Amsterdam (Van Eeghenlaan 27) from April onwards. You can also schedule a free consultation to discuss the options.
