You're Not Broken, You're Burned Out, Overwhelmed, or Just Pretending Everything's Fine.
If you're a professional who feels like you're holding it all together on the outside but falling apart inside—you're not alone.
Maybe it's the constant pressure to perform. The never-ending deadlines. The feeling that no matter how much you achieve, it's never enough. Or perhaps it's the quiet anxiety that creeps in at night, when the meetings are over and the mask comes off.
I see you. And I can help.
GEORGIANA VERDONK-SIM
Psychologist, Wife & Mom
Hi, I'm Georgiana - Clinical Psychologist. Executive Therapist. Real Human.
What makes my approach different? I bring together 25+ years of experience as a corporate leader with deep training as a licensed psychologist—and I know what it means to look like you're thriving while quietly burning out.
As a registered psychologist (NFG, Netherlands), I also support clients dealing with diagnosed conditions such as anxiety disorders, burnout, adjustment issues, and depressive symptoms. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, adapted to meet clients where they are emotionally and situationally.
My clients are often professionals, leaders, and deep thinkers who feel isolated in their stress. They don't need advice—they need space. Space to feel, to process, and to find real clarity without judgment or pressure.
If that's you, you're in the right place.
What It's Like to Work With Me
Clients often tell me they feel an immediate sense of trust and safety — and that we get to the heart of things quickly, without judgment or fluff. Whether you need a single session to work through something specific, or a longer journey of real transformation, every session is focused on practical insight, emotional clarity, and lasting change.
My sessions are not about endless analysis or homework sheets. They're about honest conversations, useful strategies, and helping you reconnect with who you are.
If You're Ready, I'm Here.
You don't have to keep pushing through alone. Whether you're dealing with burnout, anxiety, work stress, relationships pressure, or just feel stuck — let's talk.
I work with Englist-speaking clients across the Netherlands, including expats, internationals, and professionals navigating life in a new country. In-person sessions are available every Wednesday at my practice in Amsterdam Zuid. Online sessions are available throughout the Netherlands — no travel, no waiting rooms, just a quiet space to talk.

Approach & Credentials
Approach
I believe therapy is a deeply personal journey, and my approach is rooted in understanding and responding to your unique needs. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process; it's a collaborative effort where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges in a way that feels right for you.
By actively listening with empathy and care, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can reflect, gain insights, and discover new perspectives. I aim to foster trust and mutual respect, helping you feel supported and empowered as we work toward your goals.
My role is to guide you in uncovering the patterns and strengths that can help you overcome obstacles, make confident decisions, and embrace meaningful growth. Together, we will tailor each step of the journey to meet your evolving needs, helping you move forward with clarity, balance, and confidence.
