About Me
Who I Am as a Person and as a Professional
My name is Esther de Wildt, born in 1969. I am married and the mother of two young adult children. Since the age of nineteen, I have worked in mental health care, within a variety of organizations and professional roles. Over the years, I have developed from a psychiatric nurse into a systemic therapist and trauma therapist.
I still feel genuinely happy in my work every day, because I continue to meet new people and have the privilege of getting to know their meaningful and unique life stories.
From my own life experiences, I know what it feels like not to fully find a sense of belonging within a larger group. As a child, I moved frequently, traveled extensively, and lived in England for several years. Time and again, I searched for connection, friendship, and a place where I felt at home.
Not always finding what I needed led to feelings of loneliness and insecurity. Later in life—through education, professional experience, and personal growth—I came to better understand the impact of my childhood experiences, upbringing, family system, and my position within it. I began to recognize both the challenges this brought, as well as the strengths and resilience I developed along the way.
These experiences shape the way I work today as a therapist.
Alongside being a professional, I am therefore also a human being: a daughter, partner, mother, sister, friend, and colleague. My education, professional experience, and life experience together shape who I am as a practitioner. In my therapeutic work, I listen not only as a professional, but also as a fellow human being—attentive to your questions and needs, and to what may help you find your own path and feel empowered again.
I am described as warm, engaged, honest, and sincere, and as someone who can confront others — always from a place of compassion for the complexity of life.
Together with my education and years of professional and personal experience, this forms the foundation of my professional therapeutic approach.
I am intuitively oriented, curious, and exploratory, and I am comfortable thinking beyond conventional frameworks. I work in an open and sincere way and do not shy away from confrontation, always with compassion and respect for you as a person and for the complexity of your questions and life story.
You are very welcome to work with me.

"I worked with Esther for several years, both in person and online, addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. She is compassionate, practical, and solution-focused, helping me understand my experiences and navigate difficult emotions. I always felt safe and supported, and her authenticity made a real difference. Through therapy and coaching, I learned to process my past, feel more confident, and enjoy the present. I am deeply grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life"
Sheba
Esther is a loving and no-nonsense therapist. She is down-to-earth, honest, and non-judgmental, which made me feel safe with her from the start. She truly sees me and shows genuine interest, without ever resorting to clichés or vague spiritualities. What I particularly appreciate is her ability to truly listen, ask precisely the right questions, and be gently confrontational when necessary.
I found the online sessions very pleasant. They made it possible to start therapy quickly and switch flexibly when needed. Despite the online setting, the contact always felt personal and close, thanks to Esther's approach.
She not only helps me understand myself better but also teaches me to develop compassion for myself. With Esther, I feel seen, heard, and supported. Her way of working is warm, clear, safe, and sincere. Thank you, Esther, you have helped me enormously!
