About Fast Lane Vitality

Bob Caris, founder of Fast Lane Vitality

"The drive to start Fast Lane Vitality began during my work as a psychologist in the regular mental health care system. Waiting lists, diagnoses, and health insurers were too dominant. There had to be a way to provide excellent mental health care from person to person—without waiting lists, diagnoses, or the influence of health insurers. Just the primary process, nothing more. Some time later, Fast Lane Vitality became a reality."

Hey, (freelance) psychologist. Will you be our new colleague?

Treatment rooms

Each location has its own look and feel. A safe and comfortable setting.

Bob Caris

The drive to start Fast Lane Vitality began during my work as a psychologist in regular mental health care. Waiting lists, diagnoses, and insurance companies were too dominant. There had to be a way to provide excellent mental care from person to person—without waiting lists, without diagnoses, and without insurance companies. Just the primary process and nothing more. Some time later, Fast Lane Vitality became a reality: mental care for employees, as preventive as possible.

The more preventive you approach mental care, the closer you get to the coaching world. And there are some excellent coaches! Unfortunately, due to the proliferation of coaches, the market has seen a decline in quality. That’s why, at Fast Lane Vitality, we work exclusively with NIP psychologists and GZ psychologists—ensuring high-quality care at an early stage.

As a psychologist, I enjoy working with ACT, schema therapy, and positive and provocative psychology. A program with me might feel a little uncomfortable because, if we approach your process correctly, you’ll confront something you’ve been avoiding for a while. That can be scary but is also necessary. Throughout the program, Fast Lane Vitality and I are on your team. Together, step by step, we guide you toward sustainable recovery.

Willem Driessen

The well-being of people in organizations has always been one of my greatest interests throughout my career. After completing my studies as a creative therapist, I spent significant time working as a welfare officer on the shop floor. Eventually, I decided to delve deeper into the role of the employee within an organization. This motivated me to pursue a Master’s degree in Work and Organizational Psychology.

In recent years, I worked as a regional manager in mental health care (GGZ). Afterward, I made the deliberate choice to join Fast Lane Vitality, as I believe this is where I can make the greatest contribution to employee well-being within organizations.

As an operational manager, I am committed to ensuring everything runs as smoothly as possible and enabling Fast Lane Vitality to have the greatest impact.

Maureen Botz

As a psychologist and trainer at Fast Lane Vitality, I focus on your mental well-being as an employee. What intrigues me, and what I love to help people with, is (re)gaining the ability to function in a healthy way. My background in both psychology and commerce enhances my ability to analyze complex situations and take purposeful action.

I have an intrinsic motivation to create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel heard and where, together, we can identify your needs and ensure you achieve your goals. To do this, I use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness.

Janna Termeer

As a work and organizational psychologist, I am curious about people’s behavior in their work. Early in my career, I encountered themes such as healthy working, stress, and burnout, and I have since specialized in these areas. As a psychologist, I engage in conversations with individuals who experience unrest due to factors such as setting very high standards, insecurity, a strong sense of responsibility, or a busy mind.
Together, we explore which beliefs and behaviors are holding you back and how things can be different. I utilize theories and exercises from psychology, mindfulness, self-compassion, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My approach is warm, stimulating, humorous, and honest. In a journey with me, it’s not just about talking; you will primarily experiment with new behaviors.

Fabienne Melcherts

Als operationeel manager sta ik klaar voor onze psychologen, onze clienten en onze klanten. Ik ben verantwoordelijk voor de instroom van alle clienten en zorg voor een aangenaam eerste contactmoment en een goede check of onze zorg de juiste match is voor de medewerker. Daarnaast ben ik het aanspreekpunt voor de helft van ons psychologen team. 

Ik heb in diverse functies gewerkt op het gebied van arbeid & gezondheid. Door mijn ervaring in zowel de psychische als fysiologische kant van interventies kijk ik vanuit een breed perspectief naar elke medewerker die van Fast Lane Vitality zorg ontvangt. 

Ik vind de combinatie tussen psychologie en fysiologie erg interessant en ben prive dan ook graag bezig met sporten en gezondheid. Met een beetje geluk kun je me voorbij zien rennen tijdens een kwart marathon. Daarnaast kun je me wakker maken voor een goed glas wijn met vrienden, lekker eten, een goed boek of een avond salsa dansen. 

Nicoline Oosterhoff

Nicoline is binnen Fast Lane Vitality werkzaam als zorgcoördinator en ondersteunt dagelijks bij het soepel laten verlopen van de zorgprocessen binnen de organisatie. Met haar gestructureerde werkwijze en oog voor detail draagt zij bij aan het bewaken van de snelheid, kwaliteit en continuïteit van de zorg die wij leveren.

Vanuit haar ervaring met het coördineren en structureren van projecten weet Nicoline goed hoe belangrijk duidelijke communicatie, overzicht en samenwerking zijn binnen een snelgroeiende organisatie. Zij ondersteunt zowel cliënten, behandelaren als collega’s achter de schermen om trajecten zo efficiënt en zorgvuldig mogelijk te laten verlopen.

In haar rol staat betrokkenheid en betrouwbaarheid centraal. Nicoline zorgt ervoor dat processen goed op elkaar aansluiten en dat cliënten snel de juiste ondersteuning ontvangen. Daarmee levert zij een belangrijke bijdrage aan de kwaliteit van de dienstverlening en de ervaring van zowel cliënten als samenwerkingspartners.

Anne van Nes

As a NIP psychologist, I have extensive and long-standing experience in Work and Health. My background spans occupational health and absenteeism, management consulting, training, coaching, and psychological treatments. I specialize in supporting individuals with mental health issues caused by overburdening and am well-versed in the dynamics between employers, employees, and psychologists.

My preference is always prevention—both at an individual and organizational level. I primarily use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), complemented by various coaching methods.

In a meeting with me, everything is aimed at achieving sustainable results for all parties involved. Employees will leave with more effective strategies that promote psychological flexibility and resilience, even in the workplace. This contributes to a healthier work-life balance, improved communication about well-being at work, and early recognition of warning signs in the future.

Charlotte de Kroon

Charlotte is psycholoog met ruim 20 jaar ervaring in het begeleiden van mensen die vastlopen door mentale klachten, stress, overbelasting of persoonlijke uitdagingen. In haar begeleiding staat een professionele, niet-oordelende en betrokken benadering centraal, waarbij zij verder kijkt dan alleen de klacht of problematiek.

Charlotte gelooft dat er altijd een mens achter de problematiek zit. Daarom richt zij zich niet op snelle of kant-en-klare oplossingen, maar op het samen begrijpen van wat iemand ervaart, denkt en voelt. Vanuit die inzichten helpt zij cliënten om weer meer grip, rust en richting te ervaren in hun dagelijks leven en werk.

In haar begeleiding maakt Charlotte onder andere gebruik van cognitieve gedragstherapie (CGT), ACT en mindfulness. Daarbij kijkt zij niet alleen naar de huidige klachten en triggers, maar ook naar patronen en ervaringen uit het verleden die nog invloed kunnen hebben op het heden. Samen met de cliënt werkt zij doelgericht aan herstel, veerkracht en duurzame verandering.

Charlotte staat bekend om haar rustige, empathische en laagdrempelige aanpak, waarbij cliënten zich snel op hun gemak voelen en ruimte ervaren om open en eerlijk naar zichzelf te kijken.

She can also be direct when necessary and enjoys taking action. She has extensive experience in basic mental healthcare, working with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and burnout. Additionally, she specializes in performance-related challenges. Performance can relate to sports, but it often emerges as a theme in the workplace as well. Common themes Daniëlle works with include coping with fear of failure, perfectionism, performance pressure, and self-image. She frequently utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and incorporates EMDR, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, and techniques from Sports and Performance Psychology into her sessions.

Daphne van Duren

Daphne has a background in Work and Organizational Psychology and Health Psychology. She has been working as a psychologist since 2008, with a focus on helping individuals (re)gain healthy functioning at work. Her strength lies in enhancing personal effectiveness, helping people maintain or rediscover energy and enjoyment in work. Her approach is characterized by a no-nonsense style—concrete, practical, and focused on sustainable solutions, tailored to each person’s strengths and abilities. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Christian Henningsen

Christian is a registered NIP psychologist with years of experience in both specialized and basic mental health care. He has a background in Work and Organizational Psychology, during which he has helped individuals with a wide range of issues, enabling him to accurately assess what each client needs. He is an expert in supporting people who are overwhelmed. He adopts a holistic perspective, addressing not only mental complaints but also incorporating body-oriented approaches. He utilizes various methodologies, including Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. The focus of therapy is on regaining control of one’s life by making conscious choices. Christian supports his clients in the process of awareness, helping them to better recognize what is necessary to break free from unhealthy patterns and find their way toward recovery and mental well-being. As a result, employees learn to better identify their needs and develop strategies that enable them to move forward independently, preventing further overwhelm.

Yvonnen van den Akker

Yvonne’s description is coming soon.

In the meantime, can we tempt you to do a short breathing exercise? Breathe in.. breathe out 😌

Emiel Boogerd

Ik vind het van belang om jou goed te leren kennen. Uiteraard richt ik me op je klacht, maar uiteindelijk ben jij meer dan alleen je klacht. Ik heb ervaren dat de oplossing vaak in jezelf zit en daarom is het ontzettend belangrijk dat ik jou als uitgangspunt neem. 
 
Je gedragspatronen en gedachten zijn gevormd door alles wat je hebt meegemaakt en soms zelfs door dat wat je ouders hebben meegemaakt. Ik vind het daarom van belang om op sommige momenten terug te kijken op je leven tot nu toe. Ook vind ik het relevant om naar je sociale kring te kijken; je functioneert immers niet in je eentje; iedereen maakt deel uit van een gezin, team of vriendenkring. 
 
Ik heb een brede behandelervaring; mensen komen bij mij met angstklachten, zingevingsvragen en burn-out klachten, maar ook met studie-gerelateerde problemen of relatieproblemen. Als gemeenschappelijke factor hebben zij allen een wens om hun gedrag te veranderen. Ik ondersteun daarin graag vanuit een coachende rol. 
 
In mijn behandelingen ga ik vooral uit van cognitieve gedragstherapie (CGT) en mindfulness. Ik gebruik daarnaast regelmatig EMDR en schematherapeutische interventies. Ik ben sterk verweven in de academische wereld en werk bij voorkeur met bewezen effectieve methodieken. 

Esther Assink

Esther is an experienced psychologist who looks beyond just the symptoms. Her approach is characterized by a holistic perspective. Not only the mental aspect, but also the physical and social components play an important role in her analysis and guidance. Esther works with techniques such as ACT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness. She is also rapidly developing her skills in the systemic approach. During sessions, Esther supports you in a non-judgmental and empathetic way. She walks part of the journey with you, helping you find your direction. At the same time, she equips you with the right tools so you can continue your path independently.

Evelien van der Molen

Evelien begeleidt volwassenen die vastlopen in hun dagelijks leven, vaak door een
combinatie van persoonlijke en werkgerelateerde klachten zoals stress, somberheid, angst, perfectionisme of moeite met grenzen stellen. Haar kracht ligt in het inspireren en activeren van mensen op een directe, positieve en soms confronterende maar altijd respectvolle manier. Ze kijkt niet alleen naar de klachten, maar vooral naar de mens daarachter: wat heb jij nodig om weer vanuit je eigen waarden te leven en werken? In een veilige omgeving helpt zij cliënten in hun eigen tempo te onderzoeken wat er speelt en hoe zij hier op een veerkrachtige manier mee om kunnen gaan.
Als psycholoog vindt Evelien het bijzonder om mensen te begeleiden in hun zoektocht naar herstel en meer balans. Ze is breed opgeleid en heeft ruime ervaring in diverse sectoren. Met een achtergrond in de sociaal-, arbeid- en organisatiepsychologie werkt zij onder andere met ACT (Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy), oplossingsgerichte en positieve psychologie en EMDR. Haar werkwijze is gericht op het hervinden van energie, rust en regie – juist daar waar je even niet hoeft te vechten of sterk te zijn.

My name is Eveline Schuller. I am an admitted psychologist with a passion for nature and hiking. I combine these two ingredients, movement and nature, with my psychological treatments. My mission is to help others on their way and contribute to mental well-being. I work complaint-oriented and insightful, in line with the wishes and needs of my clients. My style is friendly, involved, curious and directing where necessary. I have over 20 years of experience in outpatient mental health care. I treat a variety of mental health complaints, such as anxiety and mood symptoms, trauma, overwork/burnout and consider myself an all-round psychologist. I have a great affinity with the treatment of psychotrauma, coping problems and self-image issues. After my university studies (2002), I gained my knowledge in the field. I attended post doctoral trainings and courses such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Schematherapy, EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment therapy.

Flore Ossewaarde

Flore is deeply engaged in life as a registered Work & Organizational Psychologist (NIP). Through her involvement with the Netherlands Institute of Psychologists and her background as a registered psychologist, she collaborates with clients to bring out the best results in their employees. She understands better than anyone that there can sometimes be a gap between what someone wants, what they can do, and what they actually do. The key is to bring those three into balance, and Flore knows all the tools to do this successfully. In addition to her registration as a Work & Organizational Psychologist, she has studied Educational Science and has over 10 years of experience as an HRD consultant. Identifying talents and utilizing and developing them correctly has proven to be the best success formula for both employees and employers for years. With a special certification in career coaching, she specifically focuses on the area of someone’s talents in the workplace. She has years of experience in administering and interpreting assessments using scientifically validated testing instruments. This allows her to quickly provide qualitative insights into a person’s talents, motivations, and competencies.

What characterizes Flore’s approach? In conversation, Flore takes an investigative and assertive approach. With full commitment and the necessary passion, she engages in dialogue to bring out the best in someone. Together, they explore desires as well as the potential to translate those desires into realistic, concrete actions for practice—identifying the steps someone can take to enter the workforce with more happiness and enjoyment. Flore enjoys sailing and understands that things don’t always go as planned, but rather as they unfold. ;-)

Geeske Wichers

Als psycholoog en relatietherapeut houdt ik mij veel bezig met de relaties. Die met je omgeving maar zeker ook die met jezelf. Ik help mensen vooruit door  ze sterker en flexibeler in het leven te laten staan. Ik geef je inzicht in de patronen waarin jij vastloopt en help je ze te doorbreken. Er is daarbij veel ruimte voor relativeren (je moet je problemen niet kleiner maken dan ze zijn, maar zeker ook niet groter) en humor.

 

Als therapeut ben ik open, eerlijk, direct en niet bang om te confronteren. Ik werk actief, met uitleg, praktische voorbeelden en soms met opdrachten. Ik houd geen vast protocol aan, maar kijk samen met jou wat belangrijk is en wat bij jou past. Ik maak hierbij gebruik van verschillende technieken als ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), EFIT (Emotional Focused Individual Therapy) en EMDR. 

Gijs Lakeman

“Change what you cannot accept and accept what you cannot change” is my motto. It is liberating to accept things as they are. I am here to help you create that breathing space. On the other hand, it can also be energizing to realize that you can do more than you thought. I enjoy exploring with you what aspects of yourself you can change and which parts you might be better off accepting. You will definitely find a dedicated person by your side.
In our first conversation, we will look at what the problem is exactly, and I find it important to gauge your expectations. What do you need, and what do you expect from me? During the subsequent sessions, we won’t dig too deep. Because if you look for problems, you will find them. This way, you can end up from the rain into the downpour: you arrive with one issue and leave with four. I want to prevent that. At the same time, I have noticed that it is necessary to understand the past. Of course, there may be unresolved traumas, and the past has also shaped who you are today. Throughout the process, I try to maintain a good balance between the “here and now” and the past, making that connection as well. I also know various techniques to process traumas.
Furthermore, I am a strong proponent of a personal approach and like to keep my finger on the pulse. By giving you the right push, I help you to truly move forward.

Irene Berben

Irene, as an experienced psychologist, is always seeking ways to guide every situation in the right direction. She utilizes positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy in her approach.
As a sparring partner at any level, Irene knows how to connect with employees and view their situations from their unique needs. Characteristics of Irene are the sense of safety she provides, her ability to maintain perspective, and her decisive working style.

Judith van den Hoever

Mijn naam is Judith, mens, moeder, partner, (schoon)dochter, (schoon)zus, vriendin, psycholoog, yogadocent en ondernemer.   
Sinds ik mij kan herinneren, ben ik geïnteresseerd in hoe mensen denken en wat maakt dat ze doen wat ze doen. Het was voor mij dan ook een logische keuze om psychologie te gaan studeren. 
Voor mij zijn lichaam en geest onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden. Ik werk vanuit een holistisch mensbeeld waarbij jij centraal staat en niet je klacht(en). Vanuit een oprechte interesse, een warme verbinding en een niet oordelende houding ontrafel ik graag samen met jou wat maakt dat het gaat zoals het gaat. En creëren we vanuit een veilige omgeving een context om (meer) te leren leven volgens jouw waarden.   

Jochem de Wreede

Ik ben GZ-psycholoog (BIG), met ruime ervaring in behandeltrajecten bij werk gerelateerde problematiek, burn-out, trauma, verlies en zingeving. In mijn trajecten maak ik graag gebruik van technieken uit verschillende methodieken, waaronder ACT, EMDR, Schematherapie en existentiële therapie. Mijn houding wordt door cliënten omschreven als geduldig, betrokken en toegankelijk,
serieus en empathisch maar ook met humor. Bij Fast Lane Vitality begeleid ik je stap voor stap naar herstel en het ontwikkelen van nieuw
gedrag, zodat je op een duurzame manier goed voor jezelf leert zorgen. Naast de psychologische kant richt ik me ook op het fysieke herstel bij overbelasting en burn-out. Samen kijken we naar wat jij op dit moment nodig hebt; praktische adviezen, inzichtgevende gesprekken, het ontwikkelen van psychologische vaardigheden, leren omgaan met lastige gevoelens en piekergedachten en vooral gaan handelen naar je waarden; ‘wat wil ik’ in plaats van ‘ík moet’. Ik help je graag op weg naar een gezonder, evenwichtiger en vitaler leven.

Karin Nijssen

Karin brings knowledge from her experience working with clients in both basic and specialized mental health care as a psychologist. She graduated in the field of Developmental Psychology, which focuses on supporting individuals’ development throughout their entire lifespan. Karin is naturally curious, inquisitive, and analytical, and she wants to understand what motivates you. She believes that each person is unique in their development and has their own story to tell. From this perspective, she looks broadly at your issues and the challenges you face, helping you in a way that suits you. Karin utilizes interventions from various treatment methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
Karin enjoys working in an insightful manner. By asking the right questions and reflecting on your behavior, she confronts you to help break patterns. Together, she explores what possible underlying feelings and thoughts may be causing or maintaining your issues. Learning to recognize and become aware of the feelings, thoughts, and behavioral patterns associated with your complaints, and then learning to break and release these patterns, is an important step in your recovery. As a psychologist, she supports you in this process, maintaining an open, engaged, and non-judgmental attitude.

Kim Bokking

I studied at the University of Twente, where I completed my master’s degree in Risk, Conflict and Safety Psychology. After that, I started working in chronic pain rehabilitation, where I became acquainted with the collaborative dynamics between head and body. Our body sometimes reacts enormously to a mental imbalance. Fascinating, a source of information.

I am convinced that you have to work on your mental resilience, preferably as preventatively as possible. It is not something that happens to you. Work and participation play a very important role in my approach. Sitting still and waiting for things to get better actually has little to no point. That is why I like working at Fast Lane Vitality.

I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Interventions and work solution-oriented. I pay a lot of attention to integrating emotional life. With all the tools in my toolbox, I stand by you to ensure that you experience happiness and health in your life again.

Kristel Caris

As a licensed healthcare psychologist (GZ psychologist), I am responsible for ensuring the quality of individual programs at Fast Lane Vitality. I specialize in systemic work, making me an expert in work-life balance and the power of participation in work and society.

In addition to systemic work, I also use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Schema Therapy. My approach is known for being “to the point”—professionally confrontational yet highly effective in promoting recovery and return-to-work for employees.

I also play a key role in developing program plans, using my expertise to clearly assess whether the needs of the employee and organization align with Fast Lane Vitality’s offerings.

I have been working as a psychologist since 2016 after having worked for a number of years as a researcher in the field of Occupational Health & Absenteeism. From a young age, I have been very curious about why people do what they do, and how to influence that. I enjoy most processes in which people gain more insight into their behavior and thought patterns, which makes them realize that they have the freedom to adjust their behavior to what is helpful and valuable to them. I work a lot from the ideas of (process-oriented) ACT and CSR. My specialization is in the field of stress and burnout; what happens physically under the influence of stress and how do you recover from it? In addition, I have the basic accreditation EMDR. But my starting point is always the solution-oriented view: what is possible, what does the client want to move towards instead of what does the client want to get rid of?

Lianne den Haan

As an occupational and organisational psychologist and sports psychologist, I have extensive experience with the effects of prolonged work pressure, work stress and performance pressure on people. Do you suffer from stress and tension, worrying, perfectionism, fear of failure or a negative self-image? Then I can help you. Do you not have any complaints yet, but want to prevent them? You can also come to me for prevention.

My style is open, warm, personal and practical. I believe it is important that you play an active role in our process and that you achieve lasting and sustainable change at the end of it. We make extensive use of techniques such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Positive Psychology and other techniques that are often used in sports.

Loes Raes

Have you ever experienced something that completely turned your life upside down? For me, that moment came when I returned home completely burnt out from my job as a manager in healthcare. I simply couldn’t go on any longer. This was not the life I wanted, especially after working so hard for it.
I found it to be a significant challenge to come to this realization. I began to explore where my energy was being drained and how I could regain it. I discovered my passion and set out to fulfill my mission: to help people empower themselves.
As a psychologist, I enjoy using techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and positive and solution-focused psychology. My style is warm, engaged, and sometimes confrontational. I guide you to the core of your story and from there, I love to show you what is possible for you. I will support you step by step and provide you with practical tools and insights.
My passion is to help you reconnect with yourself, giving you the tools to make choices that align with your values from a place of calm and self-confidence. I also aim to help you place painful memories you’ve accumulated along the way in a context that feels appropriate.

Marga Nijhuis

Marga is a practical, curious, and enthusiastic woman; clear, sharp, and engaged. She enjoys working at the intersection of people, health, and organizations.
Her life goal is to become an old wise woman, which is quite a challenge 😊. Reflecting or mirroring is a lifelong and logical process for her (with pleasure and without getting lost in introspection).
See – Move – Be Moved
She believes that every person becomes more autonomous, lighter, and more authentic when they dare to take up space in both their work and personal lives. However, this doesn’t always happen easily. She is driven to support others in this development, which goes beyond gaining insights and talking about them. Real change is reflected in actions and being. Head, heart, and gut must work together. Taking ownership is essential.
Her diverse studies and courses, along with over 15 years of experience in various HR roles and social projects, have shaped her approach. This results in tailored solutions and a straightforward methodology.

Merel Molenaar

Merel will help you regain your own strength. As a work, organizational, and staff psychologist, she supports you using ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.
You can expect an open and engaged therapist who will listen to you. Merel values taking practical steps to ensure that you can truly work on recovery and personal development.

Mieke Gerris

Ik werk al jaren als psycholoog, met een fysiotherapeutische achtergrond. Ik zie het als een meerwaarde dat ik de kennis en kunde uit beide vakgebieden mee kan nemen in mijn uitleg en therapie. Het blijft voor mij vreemd dat mentale en fysieke klachten als ‘losse delen’ gezien worden. We zijn per slot van rekening toch één persoon, waarbij alles in interactie staat met elkaar.

Graag wil ik mensen ( tijdelijk) ondersteunen in het nemen van regie om toe te werken naar een waardevol leven met voldoende veerkracht om de ‘hobbels’ in het leven aan te kunnen. Hiervoor maak ik gebruik van verschillende technieken uit de ACT, Positieve psychologie, lichaamsgerichte therapie en EMDR. Dit alles doe ik vanuit een rustige, empathische, inzicht gevende en positieve houding, waarbij ik humor zeker niet schuw.

Miranda Gruijters

“From now on, you take the reins!” I am an experienced psychologist who values personal growth and body awareness in my guidance. Life is meant for growth, becoming more conscious, and learning to feel whether we are on the right path. It still moves me, even after 25 years, to see how people learn to accept and love themselves. That is what I wish for everyone. I work from my heart and intuition and hope to welcome you to my practice soon. My approach enables you to live much more in balance between your head (thinking), your heart (feeling), and your gut (acting). This brings you greater happiness and allows you to experience more joy in all aspects of life (wholeness). I use various therapeutic methods, always tailored to you as a client. One commonly used method is EMDR, not only for trauma processing but also for transforming entrenched negative beliefs into more positive ones, so you can see the world through a more beautiful lens.

Mithra Falter

Hi,

I am a practical, curious and enthusiastic woman; clear, sharp and committed. The triangle man, health and organization has always been my interest. With pleasure I coach people in various areas, think of stress & burn out, personal issues, mental health. I believe in your own direction and responsibility; after all, you are in control of your life. And if you have lost it, I will gladly help you to regain it. Head, Heart and Belly work together, thinking-feeling-acting is important. Learning to listen to the “whispering” of your body and less to the “screaming” of your head is definitely part of the guidance.

My own life goal is to become an old wise woman and that is still quite complicated. Reflecting or mirroring is a lifelong and logical process for me (with pleasure and without navel gazing). I would like to be that mirror for you too. Seeing – Moving – Being moved Various studies and courses have shaped me, in addition to more than 15 years of experience in various HR functions and various social projects. I am a partner of CSR and registered with the NIP.

Monique Bekker

Monique is curious about what drives people. She supports you in your journey to discover how you want to live your life and what you no longer want. You make choices based on what is good for you, rather than from fear or pressure from others. Monique’s approach is refreshing and innovative, as these are the foundations of guidance with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Custom exercises are part of the process, allowing you to experience new and/or different behaviors. Monique works from the belief that you cannot avoid life’s problems, but you can learn to deal with them differently—not by always thinking positively, but by giving yourself the space to experience difficult emotions as well. This includes cultivating a gentler relationship with yourself and making decisions from that place. Your values (and not your fears) become your compass. Monique is a social psychologist, a registered occupational & organizational psychologist (NIP), and is trained as a coach in strength-based coaching (Korthagen). In addition, Monique is an active ACT trainer and has authored three books. In other words, you are in good hands with Monique 😉.

Nicolette van Wijk

I am Nicolette, a trainer and coach. With my background as a vitality coach, stress management coach, registered case manager for absenteeism, and burnout coach, I possess a broad range of knowledge regarding individual well-being.
Throughout my career in the corporate world, I have observed what does and does not work when it comes to implementing vitality within an organization. This background helps me effectively translate theoretical knowledge about vitality into practical applications within a company or team. It is a challenge to truly assess what works specifically for that team. Each team and individual operates uniquely, so training should never be a one-size-fits-all approach but rather tailored to the company’s situation. What I find most rewarding is seeing new insights and energy emerge in a team as a result of our training sessions.
In addition to being a trainer for Fast Lane Vitality, I am also the owner of Burnin’Gym. Burnin’Gym implements movement interventions to support individuals struggling with burnout symptoms. I focus on physical recovery, but mental and emotional aspects of well-being are also important. Through my vision, I aim to raise awareness in the Netherlands about the power of sports in addressing mental health issues.

Romy Klein Essink

Drawing from her expertise as a psychologist, she passionately guides adults in the field of Work & Health. The work environment has taken on an increasingly important role in our lives over the past few decades; it is the place where you are challenged, inspired, and form (important) social connections. Throughout one’s career, you may encounter challenges that at times seem too big to solve alone, which can lead to various issues. These can include a demanding work environment, a distressing or traumatic incident, friction between you and a supervisor or colleagues, or a tendency to procrastinate certain tasks until the last moment, which can cause problems. Additionally, personal situations may arise that affect work capacity. According to Romy, work and personal life are inextricably linked. In her programs, Romy works eclectically. This means she utilizes different types of therapy and techniques based on who you are and what you need. She combines evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and positive psychology.
During the program, we regularly evaluate: are we still on the right track, or have personal goals changed or developed in a different direction?

Simone van der Bijl

Ik richt mij op mentale gezondheid, stress en presteren. Als sport- en prestatiepsycholoog werk ik ook binnen de arbeid- en gezondheidspsychologie en de klinische psychologie. Daarnaast ben ik in opleiding tot GZ-psycholoog.

Ik werk veel met vraagstukken rondom stress, presteren, vitaliteit, burn-out, grensoverschrijdend gedrag en (psycho)trauma. Mijn begeleiding is maatwerk: ik maak gebruik van verschillende technieken zoals EMDR, cognitieve gedragstherapie (CGT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, lichaamsgerichte therapie en bokstherapie.

Wat kun je van mij verwachten?
Als je verandering wilt, moet je je mentale battles aangaan en in beweging komen. In mijn begeleiding daag ik je uit om je mentale barrières op te zoeken, onder ogen te zien en te doorbreken. Mijn aanpak is warm, maar ook confronterend wanneer dat nodig is. Jouw behoeften staan daarbij altijd centraal.

Ik werk vanuit een positieve en oplossingsgerichte visie. Veiligheid, verbinding, kwaliteit en professionaliteit zijn voor mij essentieel in het werk dat ik doe.

Stefan Inthorn

Ik bied je in mijn spreekkamer een veilige plek, zodat je openlijk kunt bespreken wat je bezighoudt. Met diverse behandelmethoden sta ik je bij in je proces, waarbij ik zo nauw mogelijk aansluit bij jouw doelen. Op die manier werken we aan hetgeen jij echt belangrijk vindt in je herstel. Daarbij is het voor mij belangrijk dat mensen goed voor zichzelf leren zorgen en bovenal vriendelijk leren zijn voor zichzelf. Anderen die jou zijn voorgegaan hebben aangegeven dat ze de open en informele sfeer in de gesprekken als prettig hebben ervaren. Samen onderzoeken we hoe het komt dat jouw probleem blijft bestaan, en hoe wij eraan kunnen werken. Zo kun jij je situatie
verbeteren en je leven weer invullen zoals jij dat graag ziet.

Susan Heijman

“At the heart of difficulties lie opportunities” (Albert Einstein) — this is what drives Susan as a person and as a psychologist.
Looking to regain control of your balance and mental vitality? She achieves this by placing you at the center of the process. Who are you? What do you need? What works for you? This personal, goal-oriented, and results-driven approach is characteristic of Susan.
As a registered NIP psychologist, Susan draws on extensive knowledge and experience in the areas of stress, burnout, and trauma. She also incorporates techniques from mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
The sessions are primarily aimed at gaining insight, learning new skills, and experiencing real change. You will work on finding your new balance, learning to set healthy boundaries, and regaining energy. You will also have more freedom and awareness to make choices.

Sometimes you feel less comfortable in your own skin because of somberness, anxiety or tension symptoms, for example. This may have an obvious cause, but sometimes you don’t know why. You are not always able to work it out yourself. If your symptoms persist or you don’t know how to proceed, as a psychologist I can help you. Together we investigate why you feel this way and what is needed to make you feel better. Even if you already know better what you need, but find it difficult to do this alone, I am happy to help you.

In my consultations, I like to work collaboratively. There is no standard treatment that works for everyone, so I focus on you as a person: what do you need to recover? I see our collaboration as a team, where together we investigate which factors are maintaining your complaints and how you can break this circle.

I work eclectically, which means that I do not work according to one method, but use multiple methods. I make extensive use of exercises from CBT and ACT. I also do EMDR and use exercises from the SFT.

‘If you change nothing, nothing will change’: change will not come into your life until you make it. This may include your thoughts, your lifestyle or your expectations of the world. Zohra’s challenge at Fast Lane Vitality is to guide you and ask the right questions. But you are the one who will discover it. Do you dare to confront yourself?

Zohra specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, positive psychology and solution-focused psychology. CBT helps turn negative thoughts into positive ones. Very helpful because many problems arise from negative thought patterns. Awareness is very important here. Your thoughts influence your behavior, and your behavior then influences the outcome. EMDR is focused on trauma processing. Maybe you suffer from a negative self-image. Or maybe you are still struggling with trauma from childhood or young adulthood. You might not be aware of this, but it could be causing you to not feel good about yourself at work.

Annelies de Jager

Als psycholoog ben ik rustig, open en ik kan goed luisteren zonder te oordelen. Ik help je om weer zelfredzaam te worden door een stukje met je mee te lopen in je leven, zodat je weer zelf verder kunt. Dit doe ik op een persoonlijke en cliëntgerichte manier.

Jouw wensen staan centraal en ik hou geen standaardpraatje, maar verdiep me in jou en in jouw klachten. Op die manier maak ik een behandeling die helemaal aansluit bij wie jij bent en wat jij nodig hebt.

Ik gebruik een mix van verschillende methodes met o.a. ACT, CGT en Schematherapie. Ik vind het contact met jou enorm belangrijk. Daarom ben ik tussen de consulten door goed bereikbaar. Zo werken we samen aan een goed herstel.

Christina Westgeest

My strength lies in building connections and empowering people. I love challenging individuals and discovering new paths in a playful manner. In this process, genuine contact between people is crucial. Sometimes, you may know why you do things the way you do, yet you still can’t seem to grasp it fully. By exploring what arises in our interaction, you gain new insights and practice new behaviors at the same time. In this way, we (re)discover balance in feeling, thinking, and acting.
I believe it’s important for you to feel free to be yourself, and I provide ample space for you to share your story. No matter how strange things may seem to you, nothing human is unfamiliar to me. My focus is always on you and what matters to you, helping you to trust in your own strength.
I have a broad educational background and always work in an eclectic and holistic manner. I have experience with ACT, EFT, polyvagal theory, body-oriented work, EMDR, positive and solution-focused psychology, focusing, and systemic work.

Mireille Eilander

Mireille Eilander is psycholoog NIP met een achtergrond in psychologie en bewegingswetenschappen, aangevuld met een specialisatie in sport- en prestatiepsychologie. Vanuit haar jarenlange ervaring binnen de KNVB, waar zij werkte met nationale jeugdelftallen, weet zij als geen ander wat mentale prestaties, veerkracht en herstel vragen van mensen.

Daarnaast heeft Mireille ook zelf ervaring binnen de topsport. Zij voetbalde jarenlang op hoog niveau in binnen- en buitenland. Hierdoor begrijpt zij niet alleen wat nodig is om te presteren onder druk, maar ook hoe ingrijpend het kan zijn wanneer presteren tijdelijk niet meer lukt, bijvoorbeeld door blessures of mentale belasting.

In haar begeleiding combineert Mireille haar topsportmentaliteit met een persoonlijke, rustige en betrokken aanpak. Zij helpt mensen bij het voorkomen en herstellen van psychische klachten en ondersteunt hen bij het hervinden van balans, energie en vertrouwen in zichzelf.

Mireille kijkt daarbij altijd naar het totaalplaatje. Psychische klachten ontstaan niet alleen door werk, maar kunnen ook voortkomen uit persoonlijke omstandigheden, eerdere ervaringen of langdurige mentale belasting. Samen met de cliënt onderzoekt zij de onderliggende patronen en werkt zij doelgericht aan duurzaam herstel en persoonlijke groei.

Saskia Bast

Wat mij in mijn werk als psycholoog drijft, is het in beweging brengen van mensen. Zelfs in de moeilijkste situaties geloof ik dat een stap zetten mogelijk is. In mijn begeleiding neem ik de tijd om samen stil te staan bij wat voor jóu belangrijk is. Dit proces stelt je in staat weer grip te krijgen op je leven. Vaak kun je een situatie of mensen om je heen niet veranderen, maar je kunt wel leren om er op een andere manier mee om te gaan. 

Met mijn achtergrond als fysiotherapeut en mijn werk als psycholoog heb ik een brede kijk als het gaat om het begeleiden van zowel fysieke als mentale klachten. Ik ben een betrokken en invoelend persoon en ik vind het belangrijk dat je je veilig voelt bij mij. Vanuit vertrouwen bepalen we samen welke stappen passend zijn. In mijn begeleiding zet ik onder andere ACT, EMDR en lichaamsgerichte technieken in.  

Wanneer het kan, ga ik graag met je naar buiten. De natuur levert vaak een diepere en snellere bijdrage aan het proces. Het helpt je makkelijker contact te maken met jezelf en stappen te zetten richting je herstel. 

Marjan de Jong

Marjan is psycholoog NIP met een achtergrond in de arbeids- en organisatiepsychologie en heeft jarenlang ervaring in het begeleiden en behandelen van mensen met psychische klachten. In haar begeleiding staat de mens centraal en kijkt zij verder dan alleen de klacht of problematiek.

Marjan werkt op een nuchtere, betrokken en doelgerichte manier. Zij vindt het belangrijk dat cliënten zich op hun gemak voelen en voldoende ruimte ervaren om open en eerlijk naar zichzelf te kijken. In haar begeleiding combineert zij persoonlijke aandacht met praktische inzichten en helpt zij cliënten om patronen beter te begrijpen en stap voor stap weer meer grip, rust en vertrouwen te ervaren.

Daarnaast is Marjan opgeleid in onder andere ACT, cognitieve gedragstherapie, EMDR en schematherapie. Vanuit deze brede achtergrond kijkt zij samen met de cliënt naar wat het beste aansluit bij de hulpvraag en het gewenste herstel.

Charlotte Bindenga

Charlotte is psycholoog en werkt vanuit de overtuiging dat er altijd meer is dan alleen de klacht of problematiek. In haar begeleiding staat de mens centraal en kijkt zij samen met cliënten naar wat er écht nodig is om weer meer rust, balans en verbinding met zichzelf te ervaren.

Daarbij kijkt zij verder dan diagnoses of labels en richt zij zich vooral op het begrijpen van de persoon achter de klachten.

Marije Struik

Ik geloof in het belang van veerkracht en regie. Soms ben je het even kwijt, loop je vast en heb je een zetje nodig om weer in je kracht te komen. Daar help ik graag bij. Niet alleen als het gaat om werksituaties, maar ook als het privé tegenzit.

Inmiddels heb ik goed zicht op de vele dynamieken in de werkomgeving of in privé, die van invloed kunnen zijn. Ik blijf het boeiend vinden om samen uit te zoeken welke werkwijze het meeste oplevert, zodat je (weer) plezier krijgt in wat je doet.

Mijn rustige uitstraling, oprechte betrokkenheid en empathisch vermogen geven jou alle ruimte om de nodige stappen te zetten om daarmee je doel te bereiken. Daarbij weet ik snel een veilige en prettige leeromgeving te creëren.

Niloofar Khorrami

Het menselijk brein, gedrag en de link tussen deze twee vind ik interessant. Mijn studie neuropsychologie sloot goed bij deze interesses aan. Na het afronden van mijn studie heb ik veel gewerkt met burn-out klachten en overspanning. Ook heb ik gewerkt met ouderen met dementie. Als persoon en psycholoog ben ik erg geduldig en empathisch. Ik vind het belangrijk om niet te oordelen en iedereen in zijn of haar waarde te laten.

In mijn vrije tijd ben ik veel bezig met zelfontwikkeling. Dat vind ik erg belangrijk en is een proces dat – als je het mij vraagt – nooit ophoudt. Verder hou ik van lezen en luister ik graag naar podcasts. Ook vind ik het belangrijk om te sporten en ben ik graag buiten met mijn hondjes. Ik hou van reizen en, als ik er tijd voor heb, vind ik het leuk om te koken.

Noortje Poelstra

Als therapeut neem ik de tijd om je echt te leren kennen. Ik vind het belangrijk dat je je op je gemak voelt en zie je in de eerste plaats als mens, niet als cliënt.

De basis van mijn begeleiding is echt contact, betrokkenheid en aandacht. Ik werk vanuit een positieve, krachtgerichte benadering en inspireer je om meer te doen en minder te denken. Samen onderzoeken we wat voor jou belangrijk is, welke waarden richting geven aan je leven en hoe je met meer aandacht en veerkracht kunt leven.

In mijn begeleiding maak ik gebruik van verschillende methodieken, waaronder Acceptanceand Commitment Therapy (ACT), zelfcompassie, oplossingsgerichte therapie en lichaamsgerichte technieken. Tegelijkertijd laat ik mij leiden door ervaring, afstemming en intuïtie.

Omdat ik krachtgericht werk, richten we ons niet alleen op klachten of problemen, maar juist ook op wat er al is: jouw kwaliteiten, veerkracht, ervaringen en successen. Zo bouwen we voort op wat jou helpt om stappen te zetten.

Thomas Prins

Als psycholoog help ik je om meer rust, ruimte en grip in je leven te ervaren. Samen kijken we naar wat je nodig hebt om je draaglast te verlichten, je draagkracht te versterken en opnieuw ruimte te maken voor wat je leven betekenisvol maakt.

Ik vind het belangrijk dat je je gezien en serieus genomen voelt. We onderzoeken welke patronen je belemmeren, wat je nodig hebt en welke kwaliteiten je kunt inzetten. Daarbij werk ik open, betrokken en direct, met ruimte voor humor en kwetsbaarheid.

Ik heb de masters Klinische Psychologie en Arbeid- & Organisatiepsychologie gevolgd. Daarnaast werkte ik als persoonlijk mentor en begeleider van jongeren uit complexe gezinssituaties. Ook deed ik onderzoek naar psychotherapie bij mensen met een terminale diagnose.

Door mijn achtergrond en ervaring met verschillende culturen kijk ik met een open blik naar jouw verhaal en naar wat voor jou belangrijk is.

Buiten mijn werk breng ik graag tijd door met vrienden en geniet ik van goed eten, reizen, vechtkunsten en mooie films. Die ervaringen zorgen voor ontspanning, verbinding en verrijking.

Anna Leonte

Anna is psycholoog met ervaring in het begeleiden van mensen met uiteenlopende mentale en persoonlijke uitdagingen. Vanuit haar achtergrond als zowel psycholoog als onderzoeker heeft zij brede ervaring met onder andere angst- en stemmingsklachten, AD(H)D, ASS en persoonlijkheidsproblematiek.

In haar begeleiding vindt Anna het belangrijk om verder te kijken dan alleen de klachten. Samen met de cliënt onderzoekt zij hoe klachten zijn ontstaan en welke omstandigheden, ervaringen en patronen ervoor zorgen dat deze blijven bestaan. Daarbij combineert zij haar kennis van psychologische en biologische processen met een brede, holistische kijk op de cliënt.

Anna werkt betrokken, doelgericht en afgestemd op de behoeften en wensen van de cliënt. Zij vindt het belangrijk dat cliënten inzicht krijgen in hun eigen patronen en van daaruit concrete stappen kunnen zetten richting herstel, balans en persoonlijke ontwikkeling.

In haar begeleiding maakt Anna onder andere gebruik van technieken uit de cognitieve gedragstherapie, schematherapie, mindfulness en oplossingsgerichte therapie. Daarbij kijkt zij naar het totaalplaatje, waarin mentale gezondheid, persoonlijke ervaringen, de huidige situatie en het dagelijks functioneren met elkaar verbonden zijn.

Voor Bram is psychologie al jarenlang zijn grootste passie. Hij haalt veel energie uit zijn werk en vindt het een uitdaging om samen met mensen te ontdekken wat er achter hun klachten of patronen schuilgaat. Zijn behoefte aan groei heeft geleid tot verschillende opleidingen in CGT, ACT, schematherapie, relatietherapie en EMDR, wat zorgt voor een brede toolbox en een persoonlijke aanpak.

“Cliënten vertellen mij vaak dat ik geen doorsnee psycholoog ben. Mijn aanpak is nuchter, direct en praktisch, wat vooral als verfrissend wordt ervaren door mensen die al eerder in de GGZ zijn geweest. Ik analyseer niet om het analyseren, maar zoek samen met jou naar de kern van wat er speelt én naar een manier om weer verder te kunnen.”

“Tijdens gesprekken gaan we snel de diepte in, zonder onnodige omwegen. Ik geloof dat je gedachten, gevoelens en gedrag altijd een reden hebben. Zodra je begrijpt waar bepaalde patronen vandaan komen, ontstaat er ruimte om ze te doorbreken en duurzame verandering mogelijk te maken.”

Bob Caris

The drive to start Fast Lane Vitality began during my work as a psychologist in regular mental health care. Waiting lists, diagnoses, and insurance companies were too dominant. There had to be a way to provide excellent mental care from person to person—without waiting lists, without diagnoses, and without insurance companies. Just the primary process and nothing more. Some time later, Fast Lane Vitality became a reality: mental care for employees, as preventive as possible.

The more preventive you approach mental care, the closer you get to the coaching world. And there are some excellent coaches! Unfortunately, due to the proliferation of coaches, the market has seen a decline in quality. That’s why, at Fast Lane Vitality, we work exclusively with NIP psychologists and GZ psychologists—ensuring high-quality care at an early stage.

As a psychologist, I enjoy working with ACT, schema therapy, and positive and provocative psychology. A program with me might feel a little uncomfortable because, if we approach your process correctly, you’ll confront something you’ve been avoiding for a while. That can be scary but is also necessary. Throughout the program, Fast Lane Vitality and I are on your team. Together, step by step, we guide you toward sustainable recovery.

Willem Driessen

The well-being of people in organizations has always been one of my greatest interests throughout my career. After completing my studies as a creative therapist, I spent significant time working as a welfare officer on the shop floor. Eventually, I decided to delve deeper into the role of the employee within an organization. This motivated me to pursue a Master’s degree in Work and Organizational Psychology.

In recent years, I worked as a regional manager in mental health care (GGZ). Afterward, I made the deliberate choice to join Fast Lane Vitality, as I believe this is where I can make the greatest contribution to employee well-being within organizations.

As an operational manager, I am committed to ensuring everything runs as smoothly as possible and enabling Fast Lane Vitality to have the greatest impact.

Maureen Botz

As a psychologist and trainer at Fast Lane Vitality, I focus on your mental well-being as an employee. What intrigues me, and what I love to help people with, is (re)gaining the ability to function in a healthy way. My background in both psychology and commerce enhances my ability to analyze complex situations and take purposeful action.

I have an intrinsic motivation to create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel heard and where, together, we can identify your needs and ensure you achieve your goals. To do this, I use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness.

Janna Termeer

As a work and organizational psychologist, I am curious about people’s behavior in their work. Early in my career, I encountered themes such as healthy working, stress, and burnout, and I have since specialized in these areas. As a psychologist, I engage in conversations with individuals who experience unrest due to factors such as setting very high standards, insecurity, a strong sense of responsibility, or a busy mind.
Together, we explore which beliefs and behaviors are holding you back and how things can be different. I utilize theories and exercises from psychology, mindfulness, self-compassion, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My approach is warm, stimulating, humorous, and honest. In a journey with me, it’s not just about talking; you will primarily experiment with new behaviors.

Anne van Nes

As a NIP psychologist, I have extensive and long-standing experience in Work and Health. My background spans occupational health and absenteeism, management consulting, training, coaching, and psychological treatments. I specialize in supporting individuals with mental health issues caused by overburdening and am well-versed in the dynamics between employers, employees, and psychologists.

My preference is always prevention—both at an individual and organizational level. I primarily use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), complemented by various coaching methods.

In a meeting with me, everything is aimed at achieving sustainable results for all parties involved. Employees will leave with more effective strategies that promote psychological flexibility and resilience, even in the workplace. This contributes to a healthier work-life balance, improved communication about well-being at work, and early recognition of warning signs in the future.

Gijs Lakeman

“Change what you cannot accept and accept what you cannot change” is my motto. It is liberating to accept things as they are. I am here to help you create that breathing space. On the other hand, it can also be energizing to realize that you can do more than you thought. I enjoy exploring with you what aspects of yourself you can change and which parts you might be better off accepting. You will definitely find a dedicated person by your side.
In our first conversation, we will look at what the problem is exactly, and I find it important to gauge your expectations. What do you need, and what do you expect from me? During the subsequent sessions, we won’t dig too deep. Because if you look for problems, you will find them. This way, you can end up from the rain into the downpour: you arrive with one issue and leave with four. I want to prevent that. At the same time, I have noticed that it is necessary to understand the past. Of course, there may be unresolved traumas, and the past has also shaped who you are today. Throughout the process, I try to maintain a good balance between the “here and now” and the past, making that connection as well. I also know various techniques to process traumas.
Furthermore, I am a strong proponent of a personal approach and like to keep my finger on the pulse. By giving you the right push, I help you to truly move forward.

Karin Nijssen

Karin brings knowledge from her experience working with clients in both basic and specialized mental health care as a psychologist. She graduated in the field of Developmental Psychology, which focuses on supporting individuals’ development throughout their entire lifespan. Karin is naturally curious, inquisitive, and analytical, and she wants to understand what motivates you. She believes that each person is unique in their development and has their own story to tell. From this perspective, she looks broadly at your issues and the challenges you face, helping you in a way that suits you. Karin utilizes interventions from various treatment methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
Karin enjoys working in an insightful manner. By asking the right questions and reflecting on your behavior, she confronts you to help break patterns. Together, she explores what possible underlying feelings and thoughts may be causing or maintaining your issues. Learning to recognize and become aware of the feelings, thoughts, and behavioral patterns associated with your complaints, and then learning to break and release these patterns, is an important step in your recovery. As a psychologist, she supports you in this process, maintaining an open, engaged, and non-judgmental attitude.

Kim Bokking

I studied at the University of Twente, where I completed my master’s degree in Risk, Conflict and Safety Psychology. After that, I started working in chronic pain rehabilitation, where I became acquainted with the collaborative dynamics between head and body. Our body sometimes reacts enormously to a mental imbalance. Fascinating, a source of information.

I am convinced that you have to work on your mental resilience, preferably as preventatively as possible. It is not something that happens to you. Work and participation play a very important role in my approach. Sitting still and waiting for things to get better actually has little to no point. That is why I like working at Fast Lane Vitality.

I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Interventions and work solution-oriented. I pay a lot of attention to integrating emotional life. With all the tools in my toolbox, I stand by you to ensure that you experience happiness and health in your life again.

Kristel Caris

As a licensed healthcare psychologist (GZ psychologist), I am responsible for ensuring the quality of individual programs at Fast Lane Vitality. I specialize in systemic work, making me an expert in work-life balance and the power of participation in work and society.

In addition to systemic work, I also use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Schema Therapy. My approach is known for being “to the point”—professionally confrontational yet highly effective in promoting recovery and return-to-work for employees.

I also play a key role in developing program plans, using my expertise to clearly assess whether the needs of the employee and organization align with Fast Lane Vitality’s offerings.

I have been working as a psychologist since 2016 after having worked for a number of years as a researcher in the field of Occupational Health & Absenteeism. From a young age, I have been very curious about why people do what they do, and how to influence that. I enjoy most processes in which people gain more insight into their behavior and thought patterns, which makes them realize that they have the freedom to adjust their behavior to what is helpful and valuable to them. I work a lot from the ideas of (process-oriented) ACT and CSR. My specialization is in the field of stress and burnout; what happens physically under the influence of stress and how do you recover from it? In addition, I have the basic accreditation EMDR. But my starting point is always the solution-oriented view: what is possible, what does the client want to move towards instead of what does the client want to get rid of?

Lianne den Haan

As an occupational and organisational psychologist and sports psychologist, I have extensive experience with the effects of prolonged work pressure, work stress and performance pressure on people. Do you suffer from stress and tension, worrying, perfectionism, fear of failure or a negative self-image? Then I can help you. Do you not have any complaints yet, but want to prevent them? You can also come to me for prevention.

My style is open, warm, personal and practical. I believe it is important that you play an active role in our process and that you achieve lasting and sustainable change at the end of it. We make extensive use of techniques such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Positive Psychology and other techniques that are often used in sports.

Loes Raes

Have you ever experienced something that completely turned your life upside down? For me, that moment came when I returned home completely burnt out from my job as a manager in healthcare. I simply couldn’t go on any longer. This was not the life I wanted, especially after working so hard for it.
I found it to be a significant challenge to come to this realization. I began to explore where my energy was being drained and how I could regain it. I discovered my passion and set out to fulfill my mission: to help people empower themselves.
As a psychologist, I enjoy using techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and positive and solution-focused psychology. My style is warm, engaged, and sometimes confrontational. I guide you to the core of your story and from there, I love to show you what is possible for you. I will support you step by step and provide you with practical tools and insights.
My passion is to help you reconnect with yourself, giving you the tools to make choices that align with your values from a place of calm and self-confidence. I also aim to help you place painful memories you’ve accumulated along the way in a context that feels appropriate.

Marga Nijhuis

Marga is a practical, curious, and enthusiastic woman; clear, sharp, and engaged. She enjoys working at the intersection of people, health, and organizations.
Her life goal is to become an old wise woman, which is quite a challenge 😊. Reflecting or mirroring is a lifelong and logical process for her (with pleasure and without getting lost in introspection).
See – Move – Be Moved
She believes that every person becomes more autonomous, lighter, and more authentic when they dare to take up space in both their work and personal lives. However, this doesn’t always happen easily. She is driven to support others in this development, which goes beyond gaining insights and talking about them. Real change is reflected in actions and being. Head, heart, and gut must work together. Taking ownership is essential.
Her diverse studies and courses, along with over 15 years of experience in various HR roles and social projects, have shaped her approach. This results in tailored solutions and a straightforward methodology.

Merel Molenaar

You can expect an open and engaged therapist who will listen to you. Merel values taking practical steps to ensure that you can truly work on recovery and personal development.

Miranda Gruijters

“From now on, you take the reins!” I am an experienced psychologist who values personal growth and body awareness in my guidance. Life is meant for growth, becoming more conscious, and learning to feel whether we are on the right path. It still moves me, even after 25 years, to see how people learn to accept and love themselves. That is what I wish for everyone. I work from my heart and intuition and hope to welcome you to my practice soon. My approach enables you to live much more in balance between your head (thinking), your heart (feeling), and your gut (acting). This brings you greater happiness and allows you to experience more joy in all aspects of life (wholeness). I use various therapeutic methods, always tailored to you as a client. One commonly used method is EMDR, not only for trauma processing but also for transforming entrenched negative beliefs into more positive ones, so you can see the world through a more beautiful lens.

Mithra Falter

Hi,

I am a practical, curious and enthusiastic woman; clear, sharp and committed. The triangle man, health and organization has always been my interest. With pleasure I coach people in various areas, think of stress & burn out, personal issues, mental health. I believe in your own direction and responsibility; after all, you are in control of your life. And if you have lost it, I will gladly help you to regain it. Head, Heart and Belly work together, thinking-feeling-acting is important. Learning to listen to the “whispering” of your body and less to the “screaming” of your head is definitely part of the guidance.

My own life goal is to become an old wise woman and that is still quite complicated. Reflecting or mirroring is a lifelong and logical process for me (with pleasure and without navel gazing). I would like to be that mirror for you too. Seeing – Moving – Being moved Various studies and courses have shaped me, in addition to more than 15 years of experience in various HR functions and various social projects. I am a partner of CSR and registered with the NIP.

Monique Bekker

Monique is curious about what drives people. She supports you in your journey to discover how you want to live your life and what you no longer want. You make choices based on what is good for you, rather than from fear or pressure from others. Monique’s approach is refreshing and innovative, as these are the foundations of guidance with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Custom exercises are part of the process, allowing you to experience new and/or different behaviors. Monique works from the belief that you cannot avoid life’s problems, but you can learn to deal with them differently—not by always thinking positively, but by giving yourself the space to experience difficult emotions as well. This includes cultivating a gentler relationship with yourself and making decisions from that place. Your values (and not your fears) become your compass. Monique is a social psychologist, a registered occupational & organizational psychologist (NIP), and is trained as a coach in strength-based coaching (Korthagen). In addition, Monique is an active ACT trainer and has authored three books. In other words, you are in good hands with Monique 😉.

Nicolette van Wijk

I am Nicolette, a trainer and coach. With my background as a vitality coach, stress management coach, registered case manager for absenteeism, and burnout coach, I possess a broad range of knowledge regarding individual well-being.
Throughout my career in the corporate world, I have observed what does and does not work when it comes to implementing vitality within an organization. This background helps me effectively translate theoretical knowledge about vitality into practical applications within a company or team. It is a challenge to truly assess what works specifically for that team. Each team and individual operates uniquely, so training should never be a one-size-fits-all approach but rather tailored to the company’s situation. What I find most rewarding is seeing new insights and energy emerge in a team as a result of our training sessions.
In addition to being a trainer for Fast Lane Vitality, I am also the owner of Burnin’Gym. Burnin’Gym implements movement interventions to support individuals struggling with burnout symptoms. I focus on physical recovery, but mental and emotional aspects of well-being are also important. Through my vision, I aim to raise awareness in the Netherlands about the power of sports in addressing mental health issues.

Romy Klein Essink

Drawing from her expertise as a psychologist, she passionately guides adults in the field of Work & Health. The work environment has taken on an increasingly important role in our lives over the past few decades; it is the place where you are challenged, inspired, and form (important) social connections. Throughout one’s career, you may encounter challenges that at times seem too big to solve alone, which can lead to various issues. These can include a demanding work environment, a distressing or traumatic incident, friction between you and a supervisor or colleagues, or a tendency to procrastinate certain tasks until the last moment, which can cause problems. Additionally, personal situations may arise that affect work capacity. According to Romy, work and personal life are inextricably linked. In her programs, Romy works eclectically. This means she utilizes different types of therapy and techniques based on who you are and what you need. She combines evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and positive psychology.
During the program, we regularly evaluate: are we still on the right track, or have personal goals changed or developed in a different direction?

Susan Heijman

“At the heart of difficulties lie opportunities” (Albert Einstein) — this is what drives Susan as a person and as a psychologist.
Looking to regain control of your balance and mental vitality? She achieves this by placing you at the center of the process. Who are you? What do you need? What works for you? This personal, goal-oriented, and results-driven approach is characteristic of Susan.
As a registered NIP psychologist, Susan draws on extensive knowledge and experience in the areas of stress, burnout, and trauma. She also incorporates techniques from mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
The sessions are primarily aimed at gaining insight, learning new skills, and experiencing real change. You will work on finding your new balance, learning to set healthy boundaries, and regaining energy. You will also have more freedom and awareness to make choices.

Sometimes you feel less comfortable in your own skin because of somberness, anxiety or tension symptoms, for example. This may have an obvious cause, but sometimes you don’t know why. You are not always able to work it out yourself. If your symptoms persist or you don’t know how to proceed, as a psychologist I can help you. Together we investigate why you feel this way and what is needed to make you feel better. Even if you already know better what you need, but find it difficult to do this alone, I am happy to help you.

In my consultations, I like to work collaboratively. There is no standard treatment that works for everyone, so I focus on you as a person: what do you need to recover? I see our collaboration as a team, where together we investigate which factors are maintaining your complaints and how you can break this circle.

I work eclectically, which means that I do not work according to one method, but use multiple methods. I make extensive use of exercises from CBT and ACT. I also do EMDR and use exercises from the SFT.

‘If you change nothing, nothing will change’: change will not come into your life until you make it. This may include your thoughts, your lifestyle or your expectations of the world. Zohra’s challenge at Fast Lane Vitality is to guide you and ask the right questions. But you are the one who will discover it. Do you dare to confront yourself?

Zohra specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, positive psychology and solution-focused psychology. CBT helps turn negative thoughts into positive ones. Very helpful because many problems arise from negative thought patterns. Awareness is very important here. Your thoughts influence your behavior, and your behavior then influences the outcome. EMDR is focused on trauma processing. Maybe you suffer from a negative self-image. Or maybe you are still struggling with trauma from childhood or young adulthood. You might not be aware of this, but it could be causing you to not feel good about yourself at work.

Christina Westgeest

My strength lies in building connections and empowering people. I love challenging individuals and discovering new paths in a playful manner. In this process, genuine contact between people is crucial. Sometimes, you may know why you do things the way you do, yet you still can’t seem to grasp it fully. By exploring what arises in our interaction, you gain new insights and practice new behaviors at the same time. In this way, we (re)discover balance in feeling, thinking, and acting.
I believe it’s important for you to feel free to be yourself, and I provide ample space for you to share your story. No matter how strange things may seem to you, nothing human is unfamiliar to me. My focus is always on you and what matters to you, helping you to trust in your own strength.
I have a broad educational background and always work in an eclectic and holistic manner. I have experience with ACT, EFT, polyvagal theory, body-oriented work, EMDR, positive and solution-focused psychology, focusing, and systemic work.
