About Psych&
P. van Vliet - Psych& was founded after graduating from the Bachelor of Science in Applied Psychology (minor: Developmental Psychology) in 2020. Partly due to the high waiting times within the mental health system
as well as the demand for a different type of psychological care. During and after the bachelor, Patty took several courses and studies within Analytical Psychology and followed the (pre-)master in the direction of Lifespan Psychology.
Each person is unique, and has their own story, each needs their own unique approach. What works for one person may not necessarily work for another.
The goal of Psych& is to help people (re)connect with their true Self. As an Applied Analytical Psychologist & Mystic
, Patty helps people - young and old - to stand in their own power, through creating consciousness.
​
The name Psych& was not chosen by accident.
In a nutshell, of course, Psych stands for our human psyche. The '&' stands for 'and more'.
A more comprehensive explanation of Psych& can be found in mythology, philosophy and, of course, psychoanalysis. Psyche is originally an ancient Greek word (ψυχή). In ancient Greek, psyche is translated as Soul, in addition, the word psyche was also used to indicate ‘butterfly’. The development from caterpillar to butterfly was seen in classical antiquity as a parallel for our inner life.
Within Greek mythology, Psyche was the wife of Eros, the god of Love and beauty desire (also known as Cupid or Amor). The fairy tale of Belle and the Beast has similarities to this mythological story. For example, Psyche is not allowed to see her husband-whom she is married to, and through whom she is technically held captive-by. Belle is not allowed to see the true face of beast. Both of these serve as teachings to come to their own power (from the soul, the self) and not be seduced by outside beauty.
The more comprehensive explanation of “&,” finds its source in Carl G. Jung's definition of the term psyche. Jung believed that in order to fully understand the psyche one had to explore not only the field of psychology. Philosophy, religion, mythology, dreams, music, alchemy and the mystical are draarom also important factors within psych&.
Besides being a psychology graduate, my natural interest lies in religion, dreams, philosophy, mythology and mysticism. At Psych&, the & stands for all of these fields of study which, in addition to psychology, are reflected in Psych&'s pathways and sessions.

Een interactieve benadering van de psyche
Waar psychologie en
wijsheden uit het verleden
elkaar ontmoeten.
Psych& is geen klassieke praktijk en ook geen standaard coachingstraject.
Het is een integratieve benadering waarin we werken op de meerdere lagen van de mens:
-
het oppervlakte (gedachten, gedrag, patronen)
-
het persoonlijke onbewuste (emoties, herinneringen, verstopte angsten)
-
het collectieve onbewuste (verhalen, dromen, archetypen, betekenis)
We kijken niet alleen naar wat er gebeurt,
maar vooral naar wat het probeert te vertellen.
​
Naast mijn achtergrond in Toegepaste Psychologie heb ik mij verder verdiept in onder andere:
-
Analytische Psychologie (voornamelijk Jungiaans )
-
Levenslooppsychologie
-
diverse opleidingen en cursussen binnen psychologische verdieping
-
Filosofie
Deze basis vormt de analytische en wetenschappelijke kant van mijn werk.
Maar de psyche laat zich niet volledig begrijpen vanuit alleen theorie, diagnoses of gedrag.
​
De mens spreekt namelijk niet alleen via woorden,
maar juist vanuit hun onbewuste, een taal die vele niet geleerd hebben om te verstaan. Deze vindt je in:
-
symbolen
-
dromen
-
verhalen
-
emoties
-
mythologie
-
innerlijke beelden
Daarom komen binnen Psych& twee werelden samen:
De psychologische en analytische kant & de eeuwen oude symbolische en mystieke kant. Het is juist in de ontmoeting tussen die twee werelden waar diepere bewustwording ontstaat.​​ Dus niet allen de reguliere benaderingen maar juist inclusief de kracht van verwondering en de magie die vroeger zo vanzelfsprekend deel uitmaakte van ons mens-zijn.
​​
​
Ieder mens draagt een eigen verhaal in zich & bewandeld dus ook een unieke weg. Wat voor de één werkt, hoeft niet automatisch voor de ander te werken. Daarom staat binnen Psych& maatwerk centraal. Geen mens is hetzelfde, welk pad je bent ingeslagen en waar je deze bewandeld etc. en dus vraagt ook iedere innerlijke reis om een andere benadering.
Toch begint iedere vorm van verandering op dezelfde plek:
Het bewustzijn.
​
Binnen Psych& begeleid ik je in het beter leren begrijpen van je innerlijke wereld, zodat patronen zichtbaar worden en er ruimte ontstaat voor bewustwording, groei en verandering. Dit is geen standaard therapieproces, maar een vorm van psychologische en symbolische verdieping.
Samen kijken we naar:
-
terugkerende patronen;
-
emoties en triggers;
-
innerlijke dynamieken;
-
de betekenis achter wat je ervaringen en gedragingen.
En niet alleen vanuit psychologie, maar voornamelijk vanuit de diepere lagen van de psyche.
In begeleiding werken we aan:
-
het herkennen van terugkerende patronen;
-
het begrijpen van emoties en triggers;
-
het doorzien van innerlijke dynamieken;
-
het versterken van je eigen bewustzijn en regie.
Het doel is niet om je te “repareren”, je te "healen", maar om je opnieuw verbinding te laten maken met jezelf , zodat je met meer bewustzijn, richting en innerlijke kracht je eigen weg kunt bewandelen en weet welke wegen je kunt inslaan.​

THIS IS ME!
How she came, where she is today?
Patty is born in Holland in a place called Gouda.
She entered a spiral of various challenging events from the age of 7. Therefore, she began the search for her own inner strength at an early age. Patty was also 7 when she started theater. Those who know her from this time until about 18 will undoubtedly remember her as someone who was constantly singing
.
"Even though I lived in the shadows at times, I always had my upliftment and gratitude"
​
After high school -still not knowing what it was she wanted to do - she chose to study entertainment.
During this education Patty worked and lived in Italy and Spain for long periods of time. Here she got to taste many of those cultures, played in shows and even made productions.
"When I came home from a period abroad, it was as if time had stood still here. What was really the case, of course, was that I had gone through a transformation, and my mindset had changed."
She made her career switch as a result of realizing that she had actually been involved with psychology and philosophy all her life.
Although she is very modest about this herself, she has been moving people almost all her life. Her interest in religion, philosophy, occult, dreams and mysticism were always present and “dare to be different, dare to be yourself” was already her motto during her childhood. Even then, as a hobby, she read books, scientific articles and reference works by Carl G. Jung and Sigmund Freud and many other psychological and philosophical luminaries. This was actually already the beginning of Psych&.
​
Patty sees how many people struggle with the search for themselves and their true purpose, which makes her genuinely sad. Patty's deepest intention is to use Psych& to allow each person's inner strength to blossom (again) and let them experience it, and direct them to there true 'self'. She does this by providing keys/tools. Her questions are deep, and make you think. She listens, observes. She sees you as who you are! Patty works from amplification method, through which she looks at and views things from different angles. Makes the unconscious, conscious and lets your inner magic flame again.
​
All this especially for you, because she believes that everyone deserves that and sees how difficult that can be in this day and age we live in.
