Julie Gerla

Julie is an online psychologist at iPractice. She believes it is important that you feel heard and understood, and that a safe and trusted space is created where everything can be openly discussed. With a warm and engaged approach, she works together with you to better understand yourself and to strengthen your resilience and self-reliance.

In her work, she places great value on the connection between body and mind. Emotions are not only something we think about, but also something we feel in our bodies. By becoming more aware of these signals, we can better understand our needs and learn to respond to ourselves with greater kindness and self-compassion.

She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Erasmus University and her Master’s in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology from Tilburg University, to gain deeper insight into the influence of childhood. During her education and work experience, she gained experience in basic mental healthcare (GGZ) treating both children and adults. In her current practice, she uses elements from ACT, schema therapy, body-focused interventions and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
