More about Michael

Hallo, mijn naam is Michael van Nguyen.

Ik ben een erkend psychosociaal counselor in Nederland en werk al 21 jaar professioneel in de geestelijke gezondheidszorg.

Ik heb werkervaring in: verslavingszorg, complexe zorg, gehandicaptenzorg, autisme, ADHD/ADD, NAH, schizofrenie, dubbele diagnose, traumaverwerking, levenscrisis, rouw en verlies, eetstoornissen en nog veel meer.

Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat we – ondanks de problemen die we in het leven ervaren – zelf ook de expert en schrijver zijn van ons eigen verhaal. Naast je problemen beschik je namelijk ook over persoonlijke krachten die je beschermen en je helpen om de uitdagingen van het leven aan te gaan. Religie en/of geloof kunnen je daar zeker bij ondersteunen.

Geloof in God en/of in jezelf kan je helpen de eerste stappen te zetten naar een gelukkiger leven. Dit vraagt om moed en soms een beetje steun. Gelukkig hoef je dit niet alleen te doen. Wij bij BetterHelp, en ik als jouw persoonlijke counselor, staan voor je klaar! Wij zullen je ondersteunen en begeleiden gedurende dit hele proces. Samen zetten we stappen, zoeken we naar mogelijke oplossingen en werken we aan jouw gestelde doelen – met als uitgangspunt een meer vervullend en gelukkiger leven voor jou.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Michael van Nguyen

Psychosociaal Counselor

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
