Gestalt Group Therapy in Amsterdam

A shared space to explore yourself in relation to others, and feel less alone in it.

What Is Gestalt Group Therapy?

Group therapy brings together a small number of people who are each working through their own experiences.

Rather than focusing only on your inner world, we also explore what happens between you and others: how you connect, where you hold back, what feels easy or difficult in contact.

You’re not expected to perform or share everything at once. You can take your time, listen, speak, and notice what comes up as part of the group.

Often, something shifts simply by being in a space where others are also showing up honestly.

Why Group Therapy?

We don’t live in isolation, even if it can feel that way.

Many of the things we struggle with take shape in relationships and can also shift through them.

Group therapy offers:

  • A sense of not being alone in what you experience

  • The opportunity to see yourself through others

  • Space to experiment with new ways of relating

  • Support, recognition, and honest feedback

It’s not about advice or fixing each other. It’s about being present together, and seeing what unfolds.

What You Can Come With

You can join a group if you:

  • Feel isolated or disconnected from others

  • Notice repeating patterns in relationships

  • Find it difficult to express yourself or take up space

  • Want to explore how you relate to others in a safe setting

  • Are curious about yourself in a group dynamic

Or if something in you is simply drawn to the idea of doing this work together.

Reviews.

  • I felt at home from our very first conversation. You really listened to me, saw me. I always felt seen and heard in my questions and my search. I find you very sensitive, super accurate in tuning in without disappearing yourself. I found it very supportive that you allowed yourself to be visibly affected.

    — Irene.

  • Rinske is very knowledgeable in her approach and knows how to put you at ease in confrontational conversations. A session with Rinske feels like a conversation with a very good friend who also dares to ask the right questions to help you with your process of self-reflection.

    — Ditha.

  • After a difficult period, I ended up at Rinske's practice. I had no previous experience with any form of therapy, but Rinske made sure that wasn't a problem at all. She was a good listener and we had some great conversations. Thank you, Rinske!
