About me
I’m Sarah Boon, MA, hypnotherapist and ACT therapist. I offer therapy sessions in English, both in my therapy room in Amsterdam and online. I’m dedicated to supporting clients in their process of growth, recovery, and reconnecting with what matters to them.
After my studies psychosocial therapy and Hypnotherapy, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and mindfulness. I work on a conscious and subconscious level. To me, those are both evenly important to get to the best results.
Voor mijn mindfulness activiteiten heb ik een aparte website.
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 one year later, in my master thesis I investigated how language colours our perception of reality.
After my master's degree, I continued to deepen my knowledge with education in coaching and therapy. I obtained my diplomas as a psychosocial therapist and hypnotherapist. I also specialized in ACT therapy, 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.
