Meet the Counsellors
The ACCESS Counselling Network, made up of the Counsellors listed below are at the heart of ACCESS. Every month two are on-call (Mon-Fri from 08:30-20:30) to receive your call for assistance, and will refer you to the most appropriate support you need. You can view their profiles below, and get in touch, or find out who is on-call, or contact them via this link.
If you have a referral letter from your huisarts, a course of counselling may be covered by your medical insurance policy although eigenrisico still applies, i.e. you may initially have to pay some of the amount yourself. It is advisable to check with your insurance company to obtain further information.

I offer psychotherapy for individual and couples. My approach is person-centered, existential humanistic and experiential. On top of my qualifications I have followed mindfulness trainings which I integrate into my sessions. I see my role of your therapist as a process consultant- as someone who walks with my clients through their painful experience and together, we explore new ways of dealing with their own experiences. An emotional coherent sense of self helps you face the challenges of life with more energy. It is our goal to get your emotional balance back (as a couple or an individual) and above all make more room for you to learn and grow.”

NIP: Yes (#225619)
BIG: N/A
ACCESS Start date: November 2018
Qualifications
- MSc. Psychology
- Developmental Somatic Psychotherapist
Practice description
Nuria Maldonado Bellido is a Licensed Health Psychologist trained in Humanistic and Cognitive Psychotherapy approaches, for individual therapy and couples counseling.
“At my firm (Psychology within Reach), I apply my experience with anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, fear, panic and other forms of psychological suffering to offer support and guidance throughout all kind of painful paths, including but not limited to social/relational difficulties, burn-out processes, identity acceptance, migratory grief and copying with loss.
Being a Spanish woman living in The Netherlands gives me first-hand experience with difficulties my clients also live through. Moreover, working and training worldwide has also brought me into contact with many other cultures and life experiences.
This process of readjusting to new environments and cultures, even when it helps us grow and it might have been chosen, requires sacrificing part if not most of our support system, therefore it is not free of pain and it becomes a stressor to add to any life challenge (parenting, loss, career changes…). I work with my clients to recover their sense of ‘home’ by building a new ‘ground’ to support them.”

This form of therapy is tailored to you, integrating different models and theories in a considered way. I draw from a range of theories and interventions that best suit you. This way of working can help you understand how you operate in the world, what drives you forward and what might be holding you back because sometimes what is holding you back can be linked to early trauma(s) or a firmly held belief. In our work together we can come to better understand this. I can offer trauma informed interventions, such as EMDR, to help process and work through these with the aim to allow more flexibility and movement into your life. The work can be short term or open ended depending on your needs. I am a warm, caring and thoughtful practitioner. I will bring my 15 years of experience to attend to you and that which brings you to therapy.

As a systemic therapist I specialise in helping people create changes in their lives through strengthening their significant relationships and their relationship to their self.
