She brings 17 years of hands-on experience in settings that include residential care, in-home work, addictions programs, and outpatient services. Saskia's style is down-to-earth and focused on meeting people where they are.
She often helps people who struggle with trauma and abuse, mood disorders, anxiety, adjustment to life changes, family conflict, and issues related to blended families and LGBT concerns. Sleep and rest difficulties are also among the areas she addresses as part of broader stress and mood work. Sessions aim to build hope and small steps toward change.
Saskia uses an eclectic mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She listens first, then blends techniques to match goals and preferences. That can mean practical tools for day-to-day coping, ways to reframe stressful thoughts, or skills to manage intense emotions.
Her background includes work in addiction-related programs as well as community and home-based care, which informs a flexible, real-world outlook. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about goals and progress. Saskia emphasizes collaboration and motivation rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Approaches that translate to online support
Client-centered work focuses on hearing the person's concerns and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. It is about empathy, pacing, and building a plan from the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That planning happens together and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone use strategies learned in session during their typical daily routines. Ask about which formats are offered so sessions can be planned to suit your schedule and needs.
