Hi, my name is Corien Boers and I am a relationship- and family therapist. My passion is to help people connect more lovingly with themselves and each other. I'd love to take you through how this developed that way, and how I developed in this way;

I started working in disability care and from there I started working in a youth psychiatric hospital. There I saw and experienced how terribly difficult it is for a parent to maintain a good parental bond while the child is taken care of and raised by others. This has put me in a dilemma: my drive to want to be meaningful, to get children on their feet again, on the one hand, but on the other hand I, and we as a team, were taking over the parental role and dismissed the parents in a way. I wanted to be the link, the support for both sides so that we could strenghten the so terribly important bond between parents and child. So I became a family therapist. That was a huge improvement!

However, I could not succeed, within the four walls of the current health care system, in shaping treatment in the way that, it should be for the family, accordinig to my opinion.  I was revolted by the limit to see a family only 6 times a year. If the problems were not over by then, I had to let them go regardlessly. I didn't want to compromise and thus I chose to follow my own path. I started specializing in couples therapy; killing two birds with one stone. Because; the best thing parents can give to a child is a happy loving relationship between them. And of course, the parents themselves benefit quite a bit from that too :-)
