Linda van den Berg
Nutrition Coach
I have been working as a mental health practitioner for the past decade, deeply committed to providing medium- to long-term counselling and coaching support, typically spanning 8 to 12 sessions. My focus is on addressing and healing the underlying, often subconscious issues related to disordered eating and eating disorders, including depression, anxiety, low self-confidence and self-worth, trauma, stress and perfectionism. My approach is strength-based, therapeutic, and practical. As an open, honest, easy-going, and non-judgmental person, I understand firsthand the struggles of mental health, having personally overcome various eating disorders, low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.
