Hi, my name is Nancy Kruys. I am a Dutch counsellor based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia, offering online counselling (telehealth) for adults and adolescents.

I provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and safe to explore what is going on for you. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, grief and loss, emotional regulation challenges, and sensory overwhelm. I also have an interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism, and people navigating these experiences in daily life.

My approach is trauma-informed and integrative. I use evidence-informed counselling methods, alongside person-centred and strengths-based approaches. Where appropriate, I gently incorporate creative and body-aware (somatic-informed) techniques to support emotional awareness, deepen understanding, and help you discover strengths and build resilience.

Having migrated from the Netherlands to Australia in 2006, I understand the challenges of cultural transition, identity, and supporting people who are building life in a new country. I offer counselling in both English and Dutch, as it can feel more natural and comfortable to express yourself in your native language.

Online counselling offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing you to connect from the comfort of your own space, wherever you are in Australia.

My aim is to provide a culturally responsive, compassionate, and collaborative space where you can explore challenges at your own pace and feel supported in moving forward.
