Willemijn Pels Rijcken

Willemijn works as a Psychologist at OpenUp. She has a background in system-therapy, having specialised in interpersonal challenges such as self-confidence, grief, and stress.

During her sessions, Willemijn creates an open and non-judgmental dialogue to explore challenges together, focusing on your role and how to work towards a solution. She will help you expose thoughts and beliefs that underlie and affect your feelings and behaviour. Integrating a warm yet direct approach, she works with you to increase joy and autonomy in your life.

Her combination of radical honesty and practical tools will help you develop skills that empower you to work towards your goals.

To take care of her mental health, Willemijn starts every day by exercising and ends by reflecting on the day. These habits give her joy and energy.

“An honest conversation about how you’re doing is probably one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself and others!”
