Welcome

Welcome to the website of ‘kindertherapie Lef’. After 18 years in Amsterdam now in Tilburg! I, Femke Soethoudt, work independently with children and their parents. I work as a integrative therapist for children and teenagers, orthopedagogue and child psychologist. I am not bound by any theory or method, but I have been broadly educated. I assess the child and the situation and compose a therapy for that particular child’s needs. I trust the wisdom and power of the child and the people around it. I support the family for a short time in order for them to find relaxation and self confidence in the child as well as the parents. Small changes can have positive effects so the family can rapidly continue on their own.

For my clients in Amsterdam I will be available two days in the week until the end of 2024. After that I will be able to work by phone or online.

Good to know:

• I do not have a waiting list, so therapy can start quickly.
• I do not diagnose. I immediatly start therapy. If I see symptoms of a disorder, I will discuss the pros an cons of a further investigation elsewhere with you.
• Therapy with me is more than just talking. I work body oriented and I work with play a lot.
