Our Team

Parris Davenport - Psychologist

BNurs, GradDipPsych, BA (Psych) (Hons) & MPsych (Clinical)

  • Personal Style & Approach

    Life can be incredibly tough at times, causing distress and instability, and we can find ourselves engaging in unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving as a means of coping.

    At times, this can stem from a specific life event or a series of stressors, while other times, the struggles we face today are deeply rooted in earlier life experiences that continue to shape our perception and experience of the present.

    I will work with you to deeply understand the specific challenges you're facing and the underlying reasons for them, adapting my approach to your unique needs by shifting between roles of support, guidance, and, at times gentle directiveness.

    True psychological change takes practice. Together, we’ll stay focused on what you want to achieve in therapy, while building your confidence and capacity to create lasting, meaningful change.

    Insurance

    Insurance coverage can vary depending on your specific plan, country, and provider. Some insurance plans may offer partial or full coverage for therapy. Like many other psychologists working with expat’s in The Netherlands, we are not directly affiliated with Dutch health insurers.
