About
Hi! I'm Vera,
A Dutch art therapist and founder of Inner Art Ateljé, where I’ve been fortunate to welcome over a hundred wonderful people to workshops, courses, and individual art therapy sessions.
My goal is simple: to help you feel joy, and to live in a way that feels authentically yours. Art and creativity are the tools I use to get you there.
In 2017 I finished the Bachelor of Creative Arts therapy and since then my journey has taken me through the world of psychiatric hospitals. For 8 years I’ve worked with patients who suffered from depression, anxiety, addiction and personality disorders. I witnessed firsthand how creativity can be a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery.
After working as an art therapist in the Netherlands, adventure was calling and I got the opportunity to move to Sweden. This emigration encouraged me to take the leap and turn my idyllic dream (running my own practice) into reality.
In 2025 I started Inner Art Ateljé, a space where I help you to come back to yourself through art. Either via light hearted mindful art workshops, deepening courses or, individual art therapy.
My strength lies in creating a safe, inspiring and warm atmosphere. One where you feel encouraged to be yourself and uncover new sides in both art and in life.
*Disclaimer, although the Bachelor of Creative Arts Therapy degree is internationally recognized, in Sweden art therapy is not yet a protected or licensed profession, which means it sits outside the medical system. My sessions are not a replacement for Swedish licensed psychotherapy or psychiatric care.
