My name is Adina, and since 2023, I have been offering Gestalt therapy, counselling and coaching sessions, workshop facilitations and Reiki practitioner in private practice at thelibrarywithin.com .
Originally from Romania, my practice is based in The Netherlands, working in The Hague and Velp (Gelderland) with individuals, couples, groups, students, teams, and entrepreneurs. Through my trainings and lived experience, I support individuals seeking to overcome challenging emotional experiences, such as encountering difficulties in personal or professional relationships (such as burnout, anxiety, and depression), navigating expat or immigrant life, exploring the emotional impact of chronic pain and medical trauma, managing the challenges of neurodivergence in daily life, or wishing to gain new perspectives on their current situations.
My practice offers trauma-informed, neuroaffirmative support guided by Gestalt psychotherapy principles and practices of embodied relational awareness and inclusive dialogue in the present moment.
Sessions are offered in person in The Hague and Velp (near Arnhem), or online, in English, Romanian, and Dutch.

EVENTS
- TITLE: Embodied Relational Awareness [PAID]
We live in a world marked by division, fragmentation, and stress. Taking the time to meet yourself, and others, in an honest and open space is truly valuable. Our actions, being, and movement in the world are deeply interconnected. Yet, it’s easy to forget that the foundation for nurturing this connection is a coherent relationship with ourselves.
Adina Ciocoiu (https://thelibrarywithin.com/adina/ ) a certified Gestalt Counsellor and Therapist(under accreditation) is inviting you to join a series of 3 gatherings to help you – and relationally, all of us – remember this essential truth. Each session is designed to focus on a different theme that contributes to discovering and integrating new experience wholes for your life situation. We start with exploring the connections we form with our inner world (first meeting), continue to look at relational needs when in contact with others (second meeting), and conclude with looking at the world around us (third and final meeting).

Care Walk for healthcare practitioners is an invitation for individuals working in the helping professions (therapists, counsellors, coaches, humans supporting humans, etc) to come back to their own body in nature and look at their own well-being.
