Biography:
Tine was born in 1936 in Amsterdam and called herself a war child. After being an editor of women’s, children’s, and family magazines for 30 years, she started in 1988 Gestalt Center De Walvis/The Whale. Since then, she had been leading ongoing therapy, writing, and training groups.
She was a member of the Dutch EAGT, of IAAGT, and of NYIGT. She worked in Russia and Ukraine many times and presented at Gestalt conferences in the UK, the USA, Mexico, and Canada. In 2005, Tine initiated and co-created a regional AAGT conference in Amsterdam. She also published three books in Dutch and one in English, which was translated into Russian, Process Writing to C.
For Tine, Gestalt therapy and artistic expression went hand in hand. She explained, “By practicing Gestalt, I am opening more and more creativity by writing, drawing, painting, creating and reciting poems, making photos and videos, and sounding words I have written.”
