Willemijn Heins, MSc. (🇬🇧/🇳🇱)

The Emotion Psychologist, Master Clinical Psychology

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.
