Chantal

I am a Dutch psychiatric nurse with 14+ years of frontline experience in mental healthcare. My background includes acute and intensive psychiatry, crisis admission, forensic psychiatry, addiction care and outpatient mental health services. I have extensive experience supporting people with complex and severe mental health presentations, including crisis intervention, risk assessment, stabilisation, de-escalation, clinical observation and recovery-focused support. I have worked both independently, managing my own caseload and home visits, and within multidisciplinary teams alongside psychiatrists, psychologists, crisis services, police and justice professionals. I am a native Dutch speaker, fluent in English, and currently based in Spain.
