About

Tim Schoenmakers (1980), PhD

I have a strong interest in the link between body and mind. This is reflected in my therapy, my research and my personal life. Since years I have been practicing mindfulness daily and I regularly attend yoga and meditation retreats. This once started when I had a stressful management job and with a personal loss. Mindfulness helped me deal with difficult feelings and stress, and allowed me to discover how I want to live my life.

I completed a two-year training in ACT therapy at Stresswise Academy. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am Assistant Professor in Clinical Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. I teach future therapists there. I develop treatments, and do scientific research on mindfulness-related therapy such as ACT (for insomnia, stress, grief and loss), and I focus on the role of the body in processing emotions. Previously, I did research on health care and addictions. I received my PhD from Maastricht University in 2009.
