Drs. Willemijn Heins

The Emotion Psychologist

Willemijn has always been fascinated by people and their emotions — not just observing behavior, but wanting to understand the real stories underneath. She studied Clinical Psychology at the University of Groningen and later specialized in emotional dynamics through the Emotion Expertise Center by Vera Helleman.

After firsthand experiences in the traditional mental health system, Willemijn saw everything she didn’t want to become: endless waiting lists, cold diagnoses handed out for insurance purposes, long, exhausting intake procedures — while real human needs got buried under bureaucracy. It was frustrating. Dehumanizing.  And it woke up something in her: a refusal to work that way.

Willemijn chose a different path.

She uses emotions themselves as the gateway — no intake marathons, no labeling. Your emotions reveal what’s needed right now, and that’s where the work begins. Immediate, intuitive, real.

Through her work as an Emotion Psychologist, Willemijn helps you listen to what your emotions are really trying to tell you — so they can become your compass toward a freer, lighter, and more authentic life.

After a session with Willemijn, one word came to mind: WOW
I felt so seen, so carried in a short time. She touched exactly the points that I should feel more, so that the emotions could find their way. She guided me in such a beautiful natural way. Decisive and also with gentleness.
At the end I felt safe in myself, joyful
and 1 with the love in me.
Truly magical!!

It is special to experience how I enter Willemijn’s and leave again. I feel powerful and as light as a feather at the same time.

So beautiful that Willemijn brings you to the emotion that is there at that moment by asking a short question. Makes you aware of the emotion and allows it to be there completely or even bigger than yourself. You feel the emotion in your body, it is short & sometimes intense after which the transformation is palpable. It flows again. A lot happens in a short time. It is nice that Willemijn explains about an emotion and provides tools.

The setting is safe and loving. For me, a session with Willemijn is a loving mirror. My experience during the sessions with Willemijn is transformative, I feel connected, it flows, feel power and light as a feather. I do much more intuitively afterwards.

Willemijn is someone you only meet once in a lifetime. Strong in communication and gives a safe feeling, but surprises you with insights that will take you further in your life. She can observe very focused what the client needs in the moment, while underlying beliefs and constructions also come to the surface. This ensures a constructive, but very effective approach to the problem and the underlying cause. Solving the underlying cause ensures that the roots of the problem are solved. Willemijn gets the best out of multiple approaches and gives it her own twist. It is her own, which makes it feel so real and sincere. She radiates positivity and her energy is palpable when you start a conversation. Kind but fair. Willemijn can sense well when a tougher approach is needed to get to the core. That makes her sessions so effective.
