At The Safe Zone, I am fully qualified to provide comprehensive psychological and educational support services in the Netherlands. My practice complies with Dutch laws and adheres to the ethical standards set by the Dutch Institute of Psychologists (NIP).

Educational Background and Certification

I hold an MSc in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, a rigorous program that provided me with in-depth knowledge and skills in assessing and intervening in the psychological and developmental needs of children and adolescents. This advanced degree is recognized and respected in the Netherlands, ensuring that I meet the high educational standards required for professional practice.

Compliance with Dutch Laws

While I am not registered with the BIG register (Beroepen in de Individuele Gezondheidszorg), my practice aligns with the legal requirements for non-BIG registered psychologists in the Netherlands. According to Dutch regulations, psychologists who are not registered under the BIG Act can still practice as long as they have recognized qualifications and adhere to professional standards set by the NIP. This allows me to provide high-quality psychological services within the scope permitted by Dutch regulations​ (Europsy)​​ (BusinessGovNL)​​ (BIG Register)​.

Ethical Standards of NIP

As a member of the Dutch Institute of Psychologists (NIP), I adhere to their strict ethical guidelines. This commitment ensures that I provide services with integrity, respect, and professionalism. The NIP’s code of ethics emphasizes the importance of informed consent, confidentiality, and the welfare of clients, all of which are fundamental principles in my practice​ (Amsterdam Psycholoog)​.

By combining my advanced educational background, extensive professional experience, and adherence to legal and ethical standards, I ensure that the services provided at The Safe Zone are of the highest quality, reliable, and ethically sound. This comprehensive approach guarantees that children and their families receive the best possible support in a safe and professional environment.
