About Me

What drives me in this work is seeing how someone gradually comes closer to their authentic self, core or strength.

Claudio E. Flores Schaepman – Healthcare Psychologist & Sexologist NVVS

My name is Claudio E. Flores Schaepman. I am a registered Healthcare Psychologistis (in Dutch GZ-psycholoog) and Sexologist NVVS i.t..

My work centers on psychological treatment, in which sexuality can be an integral part. Sexuality is important in everyone's life, regardless of age, background, or experience. I invite people to talk about it when relevant, but also let it rest when appropriate. My background as a sexologist allows me to bridge the gap between sexual themes and broader psychological processes, such as expressing desires and boundaries, experiencing freedom and pleasure, reducing shame, and letting go of limiting beliefs.

What drives me in this work is seeing how someone gradually comes closer to their authentic self, core, or strength. It touches me when someone trusts me to contribute to this and shares their feelings with me. Especially the moments when someone dares to show vulnerability, desires, or struggles—to me or to others—make this work special. I find it most rewarding when someone can accept themselves, including their human shortcomings, and experiences greater freedom and gentleness in doing so.

My style

My style

Clients describe me as calm, open, curious, and engaged. In my way of working, I invite you to slow down, become aware of your (internal) experiences, and make space for what's happening—even if it feels uncomfortable or contradictory.

I help you develop compassion and gentleness towards yourself, without minimizing your issues. Sometimes these issues can't be resolved immediately. Yet, you can learn to deal with them differently or become more accepting of them.

I see therapy as an equal process. You know yourself best. My role is to work with you to find your way through what can sometimes feel like a maze: sometimes we hit a dead end, sometimes we make some progress. Ultimately, you'll find your own direction again—even if your issues haven't completely disappeared.

Language & Background

Language & Background

I was born in Mexico City and came to the Netherlands at a young age. My native language was Spanish, but since I've been in the Netherlands for so long, Dutch has replaced it. Treatment can be conducted in Dutch or English. Although I speak Spanish quite well, I don't think I'm fluent enough for full therapeutic sessions in Spanish.
