at PRAKTIJK VAN DILLEN

Welcome at Praktijk van Dillen,

a private practice for psychological treatment of sexual problems and couples therapy.

My name is Anouk van Dillen and I am a healthcare psychologist (BIG registration) and sexologist NVVS.
Since 2001, I have gained work experience as a psychologist in various fields. I also worked in Canada for two years, so I am fluent in English.

Over the past years, healthcare has changed significantly. Time is money, we work under more and more pressure, and insurance companies are becoming
progressively more influential. As a result healthcare providers aren’t always able to offer the time and attention that your problems might require.

In my practice I do want to grant you the personal attention and care that you deserve, because, at the end of the day, healthcare is also about taking time.

Also, I am very pleased with my practice’s location at Kasteel Genbroek, a castle conveniently located in Beek, close to Maastricht, Heerlen and Sittard-Geleen. This beautiful castle is located near a big pond in the park. This wonderful scenery will hopefully help you to quickly feel at ease.

My style
In my practice I work client centered and eclectic. This means that I look at what my clients need and tailor a personalized pathway toward
improvement with them.
You might also recognize aspects of cognitive behavioral and systemic therapy, mindfulness and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Oftentimes, it’s essential to recognize and change negative patterns and reinforce strengths.

I don’t just work by the book but also from a human engagement.
My clients tell me they quickly feel at ease, and are able to talk openly and freely. Therein couples feel equally heard and respected.

Thanks to two years of work experience in Canada, I have an excellent command of the English language. English-speaking clients are therefore very welcome!

SEXOLOGY

People sometimes have sexuality related questions or problems that they can’t solve by themselves. They experience pain during intercourse (dyspareunia), have erectile or orgasmic dysfunctions, or encounter differences in sexual desire.
Sexual functioning can change as a result of numerous factors, such as aging, mental or physical illness, pregnancy, or fertility problems. Body and self image change, psychological problems occur, or the relationship with a partner suffers.

As a sexologist, I help you to better understand your problem. I use the biopsychosocial model to analyze physical, psychological, and social contributing factors. Together, we will then systematically work towards change.

Aside from sessions at my office, I often provide people with exercises to work on at home. In case you are in a relationship, it is often helpful and desired for your partner to join you for (some of) the sessions.

If you have questions related to sexual orientation, you are also welcome at my practice.

For several years, I worked with people with intellectual disabilities and I also specialized in autism spectrum disorders (ASS). Clients with such a diagnosis who have sexuality related questions or problems can also come to my practice for consultation or treatment..

COUPLES THERAPY

Couples who are struggling with other relationship issues are also welcome, such as communication problems, conflict, dissatisfaction about division of household tasks, mutual incomprehension, getting stuck in a rut or in negative or destructive patterns. I will gladly help you to gain insights and work towards improvement.

For several years, I worked with people with intellectual disabilities and I also specialized in autism spectrum disorders (ASS). If you have such a diagnosis and are struggling with questions about relationships, intimacy and sexuality, you are also welcome at my practice for consultation or treatment.

EDUCATION

You are also invited to contact me in case you’re organizing educational activities related to sexuality, such as:
