Egbert Langstraat, BSc Ma MPsych is a coach, therapist and teacher. He holds degrees in psychology, psychomotor therapy and psychotherapy. His work addresses the intersection of psychology and physiology, incorporating body-mind synergy with various tools and methods for exploration, resolution and integration.

Egbert trained at several universities in Holland (University of applied sciences Windesheim, University of Groningen and University of Amsterdam), and has 15 years of experience working as a counsellor in hospitals. He currently still holds a position at the university of applied sciences Arnhem en Nijmegen in Holland as a supervisor and assessor. He has written a number of articles regarding body awareness, emotions and behavior.

Egbert’s techniques of expertise are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), schema-focused therapy, and Pesso-Boyden psychotherapy. Egbert has been highly effective in the treatment of anxiety, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual trauma and many other traumas. He has been employed in counselling, family therapy, couples therapy and executive coaching for individuals and corporate clients.

Egbert believes clients who are treated with body-orientated psychotherapies are happier, more productive, and hopeful.

“I work to integrate what someone has (un)consciously learned in the past with associated emotional programs, and at the same time work with needs and desires in the present time.”

Egbert’s coaching/therapy approach is often a matter of integrating a client’s paradoxical polarities. Egbert has the techniques available to guide the client to her or his own expertise of ‘self’ - therefore Egbert is not the expert, but the client self is.

Testimonials: “…because of the divorce of my parents when I was young, I took over the role of the father in the household. I developed a lot of resistance to emotions and became numb. Egbert has taught me how to connect with my emotions again by listening to my body. The sessions were very hard on me in the beginning, but now I am so much more happier and feel in control of my life.” A.A.

“Egbert has meant a great deal to me. With patience and empathy, he created a safe environment where I was able to express my most personal feelings and emotions. Egbert is very patient but is also pretty straight forward. He helped me to overcome pains from my childhood which held me back. I gained a lot of self-insight and new skills to avoid my survival strategies. Result: Clear mind and regained energy.” MdG.

“I have a company in asset management. We are small, but leading in the world [in our sector]. I hired Egbert to work with our teams of consultants and software engineers. In a playful and educational way, he made everybody excited to learn about stress and energy management. The participants started opening up after Egbert went off script and introduced a number of exercises. He re-kick started the innovate drive within the company. He also addressed some issues between several team members, which went unnoticed by the management. I’ve never seen my teams being this excited about working and communicating with each other.” J.R
