Merike Taal

As a therapist, I’m dedicated to helping clients achieve greater harmony and a deeper understanding of themselves, leading to increased self-awareness, improved self-esteem, and greater self-acceptance.

I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, and confidential space where clients can feel comfortable opening up, allowing us to explore the challenges that have led them to therapy.

In our sessions, I’m simply a person sitting alongside another person. By bringing my own presence to the encounter, I aim to understand what it’s like to live your life and navigate your experiences.

Together, through our conversations, we develop a shared understanding of what those experiences feel like. It’s an opportunity for you to share your story, be truly heard, and feel accepted. Along the way, I aim to gently challenge assumptions about yourself, bringing awareness to things that might be outside of your conscious perception. This process often leads to valuable insights, enhancing your self-understanding.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw from a variety of approaches – including Humanistic, Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, and Transpersonal – tailoring my approach to what will be most beneficial for you. I am a dream therapist and I incorporate dream analysis and interpretation in my practice - I can help you to find purpose and meaning of your dreams and explore how dreams could contribute to your mental health and wellbeing.
