Sielkundig: Skilled in navigating your inner self.
About you
Mental Check-up
Things are going smoothly. You are living your life and doing your thing. There isn’t anything necessarily ‘wrong’, yet somehow you feel the need to check in with a professional every now and then. A sort of mental check-up, so to speak. You have absolutely no desire for waiting lists, a diagnosis, standard treatments that assume “something is wrong with you,” and definitely no vague, touchy-feely approach. You want a down-to-earth expert who thinks along with you.
Or has enough been enough?
You’re fed up with the endless cycle of frustration and the pressure from others and yourself. Every day feels the same, and despite all the attempts, therapies, and coaching you’ve already tried, little has changed. Self-help books, gurus, coaches—so far, all with little concrete result.
What you’re looking for is lasting change. No empty promises, no endless conversations without action. You want practical, measurable progress and solutions that really work.
I offer you a results-oriented approach, focused on breaking the patterns that are holding you back. Together, we’ll work on taking concrete steps toward sustainable change. No nonsense, just action. No empty words, but practical insights.
Are you ready to take the next step? I’m here to help you move forward.

About me
I am Eugenie Mulder-Kohl, born in Namibia and raised in South Africa. At the tender age of 16, I ended up in Delfzijl, the Netherlands—hello, culture shock! After high school, I thought I wanted to become a veterinarian, but due to my lack of math skills, I had to abandon that plan.
What I definitely didn’t want was to become a psychologist—I had bad experiences as a ‘patient’ and had quite a dislike for everything related to psychotherapy. I’m also not the type who thrives on endless ‘navel-gazing’ and reflection. In fact, the whole idea gave me the heebie-jeebies.
Ironically, I later graduated as a psychologist in Groningen. My interest in psychology came from the question of what truly helps people? How does one get a grip on life? In Afrikaans, my native language, a psychologist is a sielkundige. Literal translation: someone who is skilled in matters of the soul. That’s what I wanted to be and teach others: becoming skilled in navigating your inner world, your soul.
As a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, my mission is complete when someone says to me: “I think I no longer need you.” That’s the moment when someone feels skilled enough to navigate the challenges of now, the past, and the future. You’ve become ‘sielkundig’.’
