Hi, I’m Jip.

I’m a therapist and the person behind Enheartment.

My work focuses on helping people better understand their emotions, patterns and the experiences that shape them. I’m particularly interested in areas such as self-doubt, relational wounds, anxiety, shame, feeling “not good enough,” emotional repression and disconnection from yourself.

Rather than only focusing on the symptoms we experience, I’m interested in exploring what is underneath them — and getting closer to the root of our suffering.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist and mainly work with Compassionate Inquiry and meditation, while continuing to explore and train in different therapeutic approaches, including Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP).

My Approach

A big part of my approach comes from meditation. I’ve been practicing for many years and have taken part in several longer Vipassana retreats.

Meditation taught me something that has become very important in my work: before we can really change something, we often need to become aware of what is actually happening inside us.

I mainly use Compassionate Inquiry, developed by Dr. Gabor Maté. It is a way of exploring what sits underneath our thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Instead of only looking at what is happening on the surface, we become curious about where these patterns came from, what they are trying to do for us, and what we are experiencing in the body.

I’m also currently training in Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP). PSIP is a somatic and relational approach that works with the nervous system and deeper unconscious processes, particularly in psychedelic states.

I’m drawn to this work because it brings together many things I find important in healing: the body, emotions, relationships, awareness and the deeper layers of our experience.

Enheartment Podcast

I also make the Enheartment Podcast, where I share what I’m learning from therapy, meditation, retreats and my own journey of exploring healing.

I have conversations with people about their experiences, what they have learned about themselves, and the things we often don’t talk about when it comes to our emotional lives.

The podcast is also a continuation of my own exploration. I’m not interested in presenting myself as someone who has figured healing out. I’m still learning, questioning and discovering.

My Own Journey

My own journey into this work has been a big part of my education too. I’ve spent years exploring different approaches to healing and trying to understand my own patterns, emotions and ways of relating to myself and others.

That exploration is still going. I don’t see myself as someone who has figured healing out. I’m still learning, practicing and discovering things about myself.

What I can offer is my experience, training and full attention while we explore what is going on for you.
