HI, I’M KATE D’ANVERS

Psychologist and adult ADHD specialist



I also provide ADHD relationship counselling services.  Please see my other website www.ADHDrelationshipcounselling.nl for more information

About me

Hi, my name is Kate D’Anvers and I am a registered psychologist originally from New Zealand. I work with adults seeking psychological support, with a particular interest in those in creative industries, and adults with ADHD (diagnosed or suspected).
I’m also open to working with anyone who feels they need help with stress, depression, burnout, anger, guilt, motivation, people pleasing or perfectionism.
I live in Amsterdam with my Swedish / Canadian husband and our two small children. Prior to moving here nine years ago I lived in Vietnam, so I’m familiar with a lot of the challenges that come from moving away from your home country and settling somewhere without the support of friends or family.
I’ve been working in this field for over twenty years, so I have a broad range of knowledge and experience to draw from, allowing me to work with you quickly and effectively.
Currently I’m only offering appointments online.

General

I often work with people in the creative industries but I am very open to working with anyone who…
  • has experienced a major life event that has shaken their sense of stability
  • is feeling depressed or anxious (especially if nothing you've tried is working)
  • feels like therapy probably won't work or isn't for them
  • worries that they might be heading towards burnout or are actually experiencing burnout
  • is aware their childhood experiences are negatively influencing their present day responses
  • finds themselves stuck in patterns of behaviour that they would like to change
  • struggles with people pleasing and perfectionism
  • looks from the outside like they 'have it all' but internally are struggling to feel okay
  • just needs help 'sorting their s**t out'!

ADHD

I have extensive experience in working with adults with ADHD (suspected or diagnosed)
This can include helping you to:
  • understand more about your ADHD and how it impacts you
  • improve your organisational skills, motivation and focus
  • find workable strategies to address your procrastination, perfectionism and people pleasing
  • understand and reduce the sense of anger / shame / not being good enough / imposter syndrome that so many adults with ADHD experience
  • stop relying on last minute panic to get things done
  • avoid 'mini-burnouts' - those days when it's impossible to get anything done, despite your best intentions
  • address depression and anxiety with an ADHD-focused approach (as ADHD often causes these issues)
  • build habits, stick with hobbies and reach goals
  • learn more about the lesser known aspects of ADHD such as rejection sensitivity, a painful intolerance of boredom, constantly overcommitting yourself, time blindness etc
I also provide ADHD-focused relationship counselling. Please see www.ADHDrelationshipcounselling.nl for more information.

Diagnosis

The ADHD Assessment is comprised of the following steps:

  1. Initial Appointment (90 minutes)
  2. ADHD Computer Test (45 minutes)
  3. Questionnaires to be completed at home
  4. Follow-up Appointment (90-120 minutes)

The total cost for the ADHD assessment services outlined above is €725.

Costs

Sessions are 50 minutes and cost €110. Unfortunately and very frustratingly you cannot use any type of Dutch insurance to pay for sessions nor can you claim back any costs. If you have international insurance it is very likely you can claim a reimbursement but you will need to check directly with them of course. Some companies offer a coaching / self development budget for their staff which is also often possible to use. If you have any questions about this please don't hesitate to ask me
Complaints Procedure:
All registered psychologists working in the Netherlands are required to have a formal complaints procedure available on their website. Any possible complaints can be submitted to Klacht and Company via nip@klachtencompany.nl. Complaints can be submitted digitally using this form.
