Hi there, my name is Michael van Nguyen.
I am a certified Psychosocial Counselor in the Netherlands and have been professionally active in Mental Health Care for 24 years. I have work experience in, among others: Addiction Care, Forensic Psychiatry, Geriatric Psychiatry, Care for the Disabled, Coaching and guidance in more complex care, Autism, ADHD/ADD, Schizophrenia, Dual Diagnosis, loss and trauma processing, life crises/ life coaching, grief and loss, eating disorders, and much more. Despite the problems we may experience in this life, I am also convinced that you are the expert and author of your own story. That alongside your own issues, you also have personal strengths and powers, which will protect you and help you overcome the obstacles that challenges you in life. Religion and/or faith can certainly play a role in this and help to overcome the obstacles in your path.
Faith in God and/or yourself can help you take these first steps toward a happier life. Sometimes, this requires a bit of courage and/or a helping hand. And that’s where we come in, because you don’t have to do it alone. We at BetterHelp and I, as your personal counselor, are here for you! We will support and guide you through this process. Together, we will look at where things are stuck and how we can come up with a suitable solution(s). Our starting point and goal is to achieve a more fulfilling and happier life for YOU. Hope to see and speak you soon.
Kind regards,
Michael van Nguyen

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
