Why LGBTQ+ & Expat Therapy With Me

As a queer, non-binary therapist, I understand the importance of safety, affirmation, and belonging.

My approach combines Gestalt, EFT, and Schema therapy with a deep awareness of trauma, identity, and relationships.

Clients often come to me when they feel isolated, misunderstood, or overwhelmed — and together we create a space where they can reconnect with themselves and others.

How Therapy Helps

Clients report:

• Reduced anxiety and stress

• Healthier boundaries

• Greater confidence and self-acceptance

• More secure and fulfilling relationships

Therapy helps you build resilience and feel at home in your own skin — whether in the Netherlands or globally online.

Safe space for LGBTIQ+ individuals

About Me

I am Marko Talijan — queer, non-binary, gay, Gestalt Therapist, coach and educator.

I draw inspiration from art, philosophy and social movements, while staying deeply grounded in science-based, trauma-informed practice.

My spirituality is kindness and connection with others. Meeting another person is, for me, a quiet act of reverence.

If you are looking for a safe, intelligent, and affirming space to heal and grow, you are welcome here.
