About me...

My name is Dirk. I work with men who are driven and capable, but feel stuck or flat on the inside.

โ€‹

In my work, I focus on what is actually happening in the body and in day-to-day life, not just on talking things through. I help men regain clarity, confidence, and momentum through body-oriented therapy and practical coaching, drawing on methods such as Core Energetics, breathwork, and relational work.

โ€‹

At heart, I am a body-oriented psychotherapist trained in Core Energetics, and I use this approach in a straightforward, down-to-earth way in individual and group work.

What clients experienced

"I've seen 100% that unblocking the energy in the body can yield physical, emotional, and mental results far quicker and more deeply than any talking therapy alone."

Tom

Dirk was great to work with; grounded and attentive. He knows when to push and when to slow things down. The work we did has had a lasting impact on how I relate to myself and my family, especially my kids."

Sam

"Working with Dirk, I feel more fully embodied and more fully myself. I’m more in touch with my whole self, and I have a much deeper understanding of who I am."

Paul
