Therapeutic Sitting Service
Hello and welcome
We are Patrycja and Coen,
a therapist couple specialised in supporting altered states of consciousness.
We primarily offer:
​​
​
Therapy sessions​​​​​​
​​
​
We are specialised in IFS but can offer a much broader range of approaches and with different possible lengths of sessions.
​
We are happy to support you with a wide range of possible challenges that include depression, anxiety, compulsive challenges and many more..
We can likely also be very helpful when you deal with
vague and unclear challenges
or if you feel you would benefit from
coaching around a particular topic.
​
We can help you as an individual and as a couple.
​
We each have many skills and trainings that do influence our approach making us each unique in the way we can support you.
Generally we tend to focus more on the body and how your challenges express themselves there.
We will focus less on analysing and on cognitive solutions.
Individual support
for legal psychedelic experiences​
​
With about a decade of experience in this field with hundreds of sessions with both individuals and groups, we offer highly personalised and individually tailored retreats.
Flexibility is crucial in this work so please tell us which details and adjustments could help you get your needs and desires met.
From our experience we have learned that
a majority of people benefit most from:
a 6 day in-person program
with two psychedelic experiences
and with at least 4-5 preparation sessions.
​
Alternatively,
a 3-day and one experience program
can work well if 6 days is not realistic for you.
Typically we work 2:1 so both of us
will support you during your retreat
but some prefer only to work with either one of us
and we are happy to support you that way.
​
As specialists in this field we can also we can consult to help you decide if and how to choose an experience that may work wel for you and your situation,
help you prepare for experiences in other settings than ours,
and we can help you integrate experiences that you have had elsewhere.

Patrycja and Coen
We are a therapist couple, passionate about personal growth and healing
​
This work really is not just a job for us.
As a couple we have dedicated our lives to our shared passion of figuring out what really does make us tick and to learn how to overcome our current limitations. These last years we have been doing trainings, retreats and workshops all over the world to keep developing our skills while also working on ourselves with the support of each other and from our own therapists. And in the mean time we have been working with our own clients who have taught us in ways that no training ever can.
This has been, and still is, a challenging but also been a deeply satisfying road that has left us with skills and wisdom that we would love to share with you to help you on the path towards your own growth.​
​
Though Patrycja has a background in classical, more mainstream, academic psychology and psychotherapy we both have developed approaches that focus much less on the cognitive and more on an open minded exploration of the subconsciously held wisdom of the body. We will focus less on managing unhelpful behaviour and more on learning to sit with and appreciate the feelings and sensations that you can be aware of in the body to help you gain agency and relax internal conflict. Mutual trust and respect are fundamental for this and we work hard for you to feel safe and comfortable with us; especially when we work with very vulnerable and sensitive experiences.
​​
A good working relationship between us as therapist and client is fundamental to the succes of the work we do. The levels of trust and safety will dictate the depth of the work we can do together and this cannot be faked. So make sure to take your time to decide if and with who you feel more comfortable working. Though we have shared in most of the trainings we have done over the tast decade, we both have very different backgrounds, talents and approaches to the healing process so you may find that you feel more comfortable working with one of us rather then the other.
​
Together our trainings cover areas that include MAPS training, IFS - internal family systems therapy and IFIO (IFS for couples therapy), Hakomi mindfulness based somatic psychotherapy, Neurofeedback, Brain Spotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, Holotropic Breathwork and more.
Lets talk
This line of work, whether it is a week of intense personal process with us here in Rotterdam or an online therapy session, is basically impossible to capture in words on a screen. It is something to be experienced.
So let us talk. If you are even vaguely interested in what we do, lets have a chat online so we can see each others body language, hear each others tone of voice, so we can communicate with more than words what you are looking for and how we may be able to help.
​
An online talk of about half an hour or so may give you enough inspiration for the next step, whether with us or in another direction; is always completely free of charge and with no strings attached.
