Sjoukje Drenth-Bruintjes, (1960) is a counselor, teacher, and multidisciplinary therapist in the Netherlands. In 1982 she completed her study at the Academy for Physical Education in Groningen. After many years of teaching-experience she began to study health psychology in 1999 in Groningen. Finally she decided to choose counseling as being the most suitable study-direction. In 2005 she became a registered counselor. Sjoukje has her own private healthcare-praxis, called: “Creative Counseling”, in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands, with different locations, in which she handles the following disciplines: multidisciplinary counseling, exit counseling, sports consultancy, RRT (English: RST=Rest and Space therapy), EMDR (Eye-Movement-Desensitization and Reprocessing)-therapy, and personal/mental coaching.  She became a well-known specialist in the Netherlands, especially on exit counseling, after a few interviews on Dutch National TV about her successful work as an exit counselor and after the publication of two of her biographical poetry books: “Een knuffel voor jou” (English: A hug for you) and “Waves”, in which Sjoukje describes the emotional impact of coercive persuasion on a friendship in a poetic way. Besides Sjoukje’s work as a therapist, teacher, and writer, she also gives workshops and readings for students at universities, healthcare-takers, victims of coercive persuasion and parents/family/friends of these kind of victims.
