About me
Therapeut en mindfulness-trainer in Amsterdam

I am drs. Sarah Boon, therapist and mindfulness trainer in Amsterdam. I work with great pleasure and dedication to support my clients on their path to growth and recovery. In my therapy sessions my specializations come together in Hypnotherapy, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and mindfulness. This allows me to guide clients deeply on both a conscious and subconscious level. I believe that both are important to achieve the best results. In the mindfulness group trainings I integrate my therapeutic knowledge, so that each participant experiences both personal guidance and group dynamics.

Biography

Since 2006 I studied Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies at Radboud University Nijmegen and focused on the influence of language on our reality and meaning. In 2011 I did bachelor research on hypnotic trance and in my master's degree at the University of Amsterdam I investigated how language colors our experience of reality.

After my master's degree, I had a successful dance career for a few years, but I continued to deepen my knowledge with training in coaching and therapy. I obtained my diplomas as a psychosocial therapist and hypnotherapist. I also specialized in ACT therapy, including through training courses from ACT founder Steven Hayes. I completed a trainer training in mindfulness and developed a unique concept in working with clients on a subconscious level, combined with awareness in the here and now.
