My Approach

What makes working as a Psychomotor Therapist so enjoyable for me is the amount of freedom I feel to translate my experiences and knowledge into an educational, challenging, and above all, pleasant therapy/movement session. In a supportive and, when necessary, confrontational or humorous way, we gain insights together. Through movement and the use of your body and the space around us, we address your personal themes, explore your boundaries, identify your patterns, and learn how to make choices more often from your feelings and not just from your thoughts. As a result, your stress symptoms will decrease, and your relationships with yourself and others will improve.

My approach is best described as 'Body-oriented therapy based on haptonomy from a holistic perspective'.

About Me - Boudewijn de Boer (1983)

While studying physiotherapy, I discovered that our bodies have a lot to tell. I switched to study for Psychomotor Therapist to combine body and mind in healing. After graduating, I worked for 15 years in mental health care (GGZ) in the Amsterdam region. For the past few years, I have been working as an independent therapist in various clinics and institutions.

Certified in Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT), Schema Therapy, System Therapy, and Psychodynamic approaches.

A few years ago I started training as a Haptotherapist, where there is more room to explore your emotional world. I hope to further implement haptonomy in my work in the coming years and complete the training. I will always practice my profession as a Psychomotor Therapist on a haptonomic basis. If you have more goals towards this area, I will refer you to an experienced Haptotherapist.

In 2022, my wife, daughter, and I made the leap to Spain. To escape the ratrace we used to live in. In addition to my work as an independent therapist at the Costa Blanca, I work as a therapist in private clinic Montgó Lifestyle and at Xperanza, an institution for adolescents. In my free time, I enjoy cycling and hiking, and a swimming or yoga session also does me a lot of good.

"My experience with Boudewijn was truly transformative. When I started, I was struggling with anxiety and stress that were affecting my daily life. Thanks to Boudewijn, I not only learned to manage and recognize my emotions but also got to know and understand my body better. The sometimes confrontational exercises mixed with personal attention, honesty and humor made me feel heard and supported and I got to see things in perspective. I highly recommend Boudewijn to anyone looking for well-being and struggling to ask and find help."
