MELISSA HORN

Hi, I’m Melissa. I have a German-Turkish background and moved to the Netherlands in 2019. Having lived in six countries, I am familiar with the emotional complexities of expat life — from the challenge of starting over to the deeper questions relocation can stir up. These personal experiences guide my work with international clients navigating transitions, belonging, and self-definition.

My approach is integrative and insight-oriented. I draw from multiple approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and while also making space for deeper reflection. Beyond symptom reduction, I’m interested in the patterns and values that shape your life. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes, but about developing clarity and insight.

I work collaboratively and relationally, offering a warm, culturally sensitive space without judgment. Together, we’ll shape each session to your individual needs and goals. I offer support for a range of concerns including anxiety, low mood, relationships and intimacy, sexuality and gender, or life transitions. We can explore not only what feels difficult, but also what feels meaningful.

Currently, I offer individual therapy sessions in English and German for adults (18+) in The Hague and online. The cost of one session is 100€.
