How I work
When working with trauma and personal issues, it is important that there is a basic trust ('click') between client and counsellor, as well as a match between the issues and the available qualities of the practitioner.
I offer you the opportunity to have an online 'get-to-know' meeting (free of charge). During this meeting we can get to know each other, explore your question and you will get a taste of my way of working.
Would you like to continue working together?
Then we will schedule an intake meeting where we will go deeper into your question and context, and from there I will offer you the possibilities of a process. Your question and condition will be the input what I will offer: for example, more focus on conversational forms, physical work or an experiential approach.
We also sign a treatment agreement. This will include how many sessions the programme will be, how we can adjust the programme in the meantime and the rules for making and changing appointments. You can read more about this below.
I offer my services live and online - in Dutch or English. I am in the process of learning Slovene, but currently my vocabulary is to limited to apply at work.
I work with people who are 18 years of age and older.
If you have any questions after reading this page, feel free to contact me.
What you can expect
Attention
I am there for you in 1:1 sessions and group processes. With calmness, attentiveness, skill and, where appropriate, a dash of humour, I work with you to create a space for insight, transformation and healing.
Equality
I work from a position of equality. We both have our own role in the process, but the process takes shape in dialogue, where being human is paramount.
Empowerment
I believe in the self-healing and learning capacity of the human being and aim to nurture your autonomy, authenticity and life energy. You do it yourself, but you don't have to it alone.
Private practice space
The live 1:1 sessions for trauma and personal facilitation take place in my practice in Breda (NL) and Kranj (SI). My practices are easy to reach by public transport. There is plenty of parking nearby ( free or reduced rates). You will receive more details with confirmation of your first appointment.
Are you a company or an NGO and would like to have trajectories provided for several people/employees? I can welcome groups up to 4 people in my current facilities. 1:1 or group training is also possible in company or at an external location. Please contact me to discuss the options available.
Online sessions and communication are conducted via proton.me, whereby.com, zoom.us and signal private messaging.

Good to know
- I work with people who are at least 18 years old and who are considered to be legally competent.
- It is possible to work in Dutch or English.
- Jasper Dzuki Jelen is not a psychologist or psychiatrist. Therefore I do not work with psychopathology. However, additional care is possible in consultation with your general practitioner.
- All my 1:1 work is subject to professional confidentiality. When working with groups and teams, I also make clear agreements about confidentiality and I apply my professional confidentiality to the information you only share with me.
- Dutch law applies to all my services.
- Because working on trauma and life matters can set many things in motion, I recommend that you reserve some time for yourself afterwards.
- I keep my knowledge and skills up to date through ongoing training and in-depth courses. I also receive regular supervision and participate in peer group intervision.
- Are you interested in Somatic Experiencing and/or SOMA embodiment, but would like to work with another practitioner in The Netherlands? On this handy platform you can find a large number of my certified colleagues in The Netherlands.
