Individual Therapy
Therapy is the place where we turn loneliness into connection, struggle into inner peace, and fears into freedom
A Path to Becoming Whole Again
Individual therapy at The Circle Clinic in Leiden, in-person or online
What Is Our Holistic Therapy Approach?
Our therapy approach is holistic and integrative = our highly qualified, licensed psychologists draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring each session to your personal goals and needs.
Therapy at The Circle Clinic is flexible, client-centred, and customised to you, making it truly holistic and individualised. You deserve care that’s authentically for you.
Why Choose Individual Therapy?
Life doesn’t always happen the way we want it to. We don’t choose to experience abuse, rejection, loss, emotional neglect, or violence. To heal trauma, we need to bring light into these unprocessed hurts.
Always, our therapy objective is to create a space of acceptance, respect & nurturance – so that you’re inspired to hold that same space for yourself.

I came in feeling so lost, but over time, I’ve learned to trust myself and embrace all the parts of who I am. I’m so grateful for this journey.
N.S. (Mexico) -
Therapy isn’t always easy, but I feel safe enough here to dig deep. I’m facing things I’ve avoided for years and finding a stronger, calmer version of myself on the other side.
Sometimes it's really scary facing things that I feel a lot of shame of. But my therapist helps me feel like I'm not alone, and that it's safe to share.
R.V. (Netherlands) -
In every session, I felt like I was coming home to myself. Therapy here is a journey back to my inner peace, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Sometimes it's really scary. But Ishana helps me feel like I'm not a alone.
W.A. (Oman) -
The therapy room is so cosy, it feels like a healing womb.
Coming here, I feel safe in my vulnerability. I’m learning to let go of old fears and patterns, and I’m starting to see myself in a kinder light. And I love that for me.
C.G. (Italy) -
Before therapy: ‘Why am I like this?’
After therapy: ‘Oh, that’s why… and I’m okay with it now!
Turns out, talking about my insecurities with someone who ‘gets it’ is way more effective than trying to ignore them!
