About Me

Yuling Guo

Counselor under training | LVSC Coach (registration pending)

I am a counselor currently undertaking a long-term, NFG-accredited training program in the Netherlands and an LVSC coach (registration pending).

I grew up in China and earned my master’s degree in Humanities at Utrecht University. Before entering the counseling field, I worked in the tech and consulting industries in the Netherlands, gaining cross-cultural and cross-industry experience. I currently reside in Den Bosch, Netherlands.

As a former international student and professional, I understand the challenges of identity transitions, cultural adaptation, and self-recognition while living abroad. These experiences help me support clients as they navigate uncertainty and change.

My counseling approach is primarily psychodynamic and existential, integrating various methods and tools tailored to your unique experiences and needs. I work with you to explore emotions, understand relational patterns, and find meaning and growth.

I provide a safe, open, and confidential space where you can explore and understand yourselves at your own pace. I also offer an objective, professional perspective to help make sense of complex life issues.

In my personal life, I enjoy reading, music, nature, writing, and other creative activities, all of which continually enrich my understanding of human nature.

I believe that everyone has the potential for self-awareness and growth. Counseling is a process of understanding and integrating the self, guiding individuals on a journey toward inner development.

Client Experience

“I worked with Yuling mainly to explore my emotions and my relationship with my parents. At that time, I was feeling sensitive and vulnerable, but in our sessions, I felt deeply listened to and gently supported, which allowed me to freely express my emotions. Over time, I became more aware of my bodily responses, such as my heartbeat and breathing, and began to treat myself with greater kindness—understanding myself better, recognizing patterns, and expressing my feelings more clearly. I believe Yuling is especially well suited to support people who need to be heard, those navigating cross-cultural challenges, and women experiencing conflicts between social roles and self-worth. ”

Former client (🇹🇼)

“I worked with Yuling mainly to explore emotional awareness, as well as communication and needs expression in intimate relationships. At that time, my emotional state was quite changeable, which was not easy for me to acknowledge and felt like a new discovery. In our sessions, I became more aware of how changes and a sense of losing control often made me feel anxious and unsafe. I also noticed that I tended to overlook or struggle to clearly describe my emotions, and instead rushed into action to solve problems and calm myself down. Over time, I began to slow down and stay with my emotions a little longer. Rather than trying to control my feelings with logic, I started to allow my body to guide me toward answers. I believe Yuling is especially well suited to support people who are seeking long-term companionship and continuity in the counseling process. ”
