Sexuality Therapy in Amsterdam

Sexuality is a vital part of being human.

And yet, it’s often one of the hardest things to talk about.

Whether you feel at ease in your sexuality, or something feels unclear, blocked, or difficult, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Making space for sexuality

In Gestalt therapy, we pay attention to what is alive. Your sexuality is part of that.

It can hold:

  • desire

  • curiosity

  • confusion

  • shame

  • frustration

  • longing

All of it is welcome here. There is no “right” way to feel or experience your sexuality.

What we can explore together

In our sessions, we can explore things like:

  • How you experience desire and attraction

  • Your relationship to your body

  • Intimacy: how you connect (or don’t) with others

  • Boundaries and consent

  • Shame, discomfort, or inhibition

  • Fantasies and what they might express

  • Gender identity and gender expression

  • The roles or expectations you’ve learned around sexuality

  • How to communicate about sex in relationships

We go at your pace. Nothing is forced, and nothing needs to be shared before you’re ready.

Shame & safety

For many people, sexuality is connected to shame. Things that were not talked about. Things that were judged. Things that didn’t feel safe to express.

In therapy, we create a space where those parts can be explored without pressure.

Not to fix or change you, but to understand what is there.

How I work

We stay close to your experience. That might mean:

  • noticing what happens in your body when you speak about something

  • exploring what feels open, and what feels restricted

  • understanding how your past experiences shape your present

Sexuality is not separate from the rest of your life. It’s connected to how you relate, feel, and express yourself.

One of the central aspects to Gestalt is intersubjectivity. This means we are both experiencing ourselves as subjects that matter and experience the world around us in a unique way. It’s the opposite to being objectified or being projected on that you are a certain way because of gender, skin colour, sexual preferance, or any other identity. I take this into every session that I have with my clients.

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!
