Merijn A. Mattheijssen MSc

Founder Psychologist Vietnam, Child Psychologist

Merijn has worked for more than 14 years in the field of child psychology. His professional journey includes diagnosis, treatment, family counseling, and private conversations with children. Merijn graduated with a Master’s degree in Educational Sciences (with Bene Meritum distinction) from Radboud University in the Netherlands – one of the top universities in the world. “Five years ago, I founded Psychologist Vietnam with a simple vision: to blend the richness of Eastern culture with the practical effectiveness of Western psychology. My goal is to help people find peace, hope, and inner strength.” “As a life coach, you have the ability to create profound change in someone’s life. If you join us, remember that we are not only teachers but also companions, committed to walking alongside you on the path of helping others take their next steps.”

Esther Nguyen

Psychologist

Esther spent many years in Hanoi working as a therapist at a leading psychology clinic, specializing in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and psychological counseling. “Every day, I meet people who are longing for clarity, inner strength, and a way forward—and it is the greatest privilege to help them discover those things.” “Teaching future life coaches is not just about passing on techniques. It is about guiding you to see the person behind the problem, to listen with a healing heart, and to lead someone toward truly sustainable change.” “In my classes, you will not only learn skills—you will grasp the core spirit of coaching, so that when you leave, you carry with you not only knowledge but the confidence to genuinely transform someone’s life.”

Joanna Intara MA, Licensed Psychotherapist & Marriage & Family Therapist

Psychotherapist, Somatic Intimacy Alchemist, Couples Trauma & Intimacy Expert, Mentor

Joanna Intara, MA, a licensed psychotherapist, has spent over 41 years and more than 38,000 hours listening to the signals of the body where words cannot reach. Known as a “Somatic Intimacy Alchemist,” she helps couples and individuals transform the unconscious patterns and beliefs formed long before language, so they can feel safe, fully alive, and truly loved—without the need to build emotional walls.

The courses and healing spaces I create for repair, renewal, and growth are the very paths I have walked myself—transforming my own marriage from the brink of collapse into a sanctuary of peace and safety in this turbulent world. I teach from the embodied “yes” to love that arises when safety is present, and from the understanding that emotional harmony is the true language of love. What you will find here is not just knowledge, but the profound transformation you’ve been longing for—so you can finally feel loved, alive, and at peace.

*Somatic Intimacy Alchemist: One who helps transform intimacy through the body and emotions, turning wounds into connection, safety, and love.
