Welcome
My name is Leanne Ballantyne.
My psychology practice is based in Utrecht and offers counselling and coaching in English and Dutch for people navigating challenges in work and life.
My aim is to provide a warm, professional and confidential space for people to reflect, gain perspective and discover new possibilities for moving forward.

My Approach
I help people navigate the demands and complexities of work and life, with a focus on strengthening psychological well-being, workplace well-being and personal growth.
The first session is used to gain a clear understanding of your situation and what you would like to achieve. From there, we agree on a focused approach and clear direction for our work together.
Sessions take place either at my practice in Utrecht or as walking sessions in the Máximapark in Vleuten. Many people find that walking in nature creates space for reflection and can be a valuable part of the process.
I am registered with the Dutch professional association for psychologists, NIP (Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen).

About Me
I was born and raised in beautiful South Africa and moved to Europe in 1997, first to the UK and later to the Netherlands, where I have lived and worked since 2001.
For the past 20 years, I have worked as an Occupational Health Psychologist, supporting people through a wide range of work-related and personal challenges. I also have a particular interest in working with expats and internationals.
What I value most about my work is helping people step back from the pressures of everyday life to gain a better understanding of what is happening for them, and find a way forward that feels right and authentic.
