Monique Bakhuijzen

 Psychologist

Monique Bakhuijzen-Pons is a holistic healthcare psychologist and coach with over 25 years of experience. She is the founder of A Touch of Balance in Roosendaal, a practice she built on one simple but powerful insight: before you can truly help others, you have to be well yourself. She knows this not only in theory, but from her own experience.

Monique has been through what it is like to come to a complete standstill, and that is exactly what makes her so effective at what she does. She sees quickly and unerringly where the real sticking point lies, even when you cannot see it yourself yet. She will confront you with it directly but lovingly, because she knows that real growth is found precisely in those blind spots.

She works holistically, which means she looks at the whole of who you are, rather than at a single symptom. Her approach blends proven methods: she is a certified Brainspotting therapist, a Shiatsu therapist and a licensed healthcare psychologist. That may sound wide ranging, but in practice it feels bespoke. The path adapts to you.

Monique has a particular radar for highly sensitive people who find themselves stuck, and she brings a combination of directness, warmth and humour to that work. She is the biggest supporter of everyone she works with and celebrates every small success wholeheartedly, because she knows that this is exactly what the brain wants more of.

Works in: Dutch. Based in Roosendaal and available online.
