“Safety in a trusting and constructive atmosphere”
Ineke Demmenie
I am Ineke Demmenie, born and raised in The Hague.
I’ve been working as both a sexologist and relationship- and familytherapist since 2000. It gives me enormous gratification to see an improvement in the sexual confidence and connection in the relationships of my clients.
During the late nineties I decided to specialize as a sexologist. In my work as a social psychiatric nurse (SPV/VO) in various mental health care institutions, I noticed that there was very little attention and hardly any treatment on offer for people with sexual problems.
Quickly after, I continued to specialise in the field of systems therapy (= relationship- and family therapy), as I came into contact with more and more spouses in my line of work. Sexual problems manifest themselves mainly within relationships, and many sexual problems are actually more relationship problems.
My strength lies in my open working style and nothing human is alien to me. I think it is important that cliënts feel secure with me
, and go out of my way to provide them a secure, connecting ambiance to work in. As a therapist, I am always in search of new methods and techniques which expand on my abilities as a therapist.
They stimulate me to regard my work from different perspectives. I have taken several courses like MBT-F (Mentalization Based Therapy for Families), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and Mindfulness.
I am inspired by the visions of Ester Perel and David Schnarch.
APPROACH
Do you experience problems with intimacy and sexuality? Are there problems in your relationship? Do you feel unable to solve this together and do you consider seeking help for this? Or do you want to work on your sexual problem alone first? In my practice you find the opportunity to work on this in a safe and open environment. I am sexologist, couple- and family therapist. You can also consult for trauma therapy and psychological problems like anxiety, stress, abuse, problems with life events, insecurity about your identity, coping with ( chronic) grief and personality disorders.

These are my areas of expertise as a therapist:
SEXOLOGY
The purpose of sex is that it is something to enjoy. If that is not the case, it can be helpful to talk about it with a professional in a discrete setting.
Sexual problems such as:
- Lack of sexual desire
- You differ in sexual desire in your relationship
- Difficulties to get aroused physically as well mentally
RELATIONSHIP THERAPY
If you are in a relationship you want to enjoy each other’s company. You want to feel supported, respected en attached. Unfortunately, it happens too often that couples are growing apart and start to doubt if they should continue their relationship. One of the reasons this can happen, is because you have ended up in a continuing pattern of rows en arguments and are unable stop this.
