Treatment
The process at our psychology practice is designed to provide a careful and structured approach, focusing on the needs of each individual client. Our process includes the following steps, from registration to completion of treatment:
Registration
Clients can register via our online registration form or contact our practice by telephone.
Registration interview
Once the registration has been received, we will schedule a registration meeting with one of our experienced psychologists. During this consultation, the client will have the opportunity to discuss his or her concerns, goals and expectations so that we can develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Intake
After the registration interview, an intake interview follows, during which we delve deeper into the client’s specific problems and needs. This allows us to conduct a thorough evaluation and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits the client’s unique circumstances.
Therapy
Once the treatment plan has been determined, we start therapy. We use various evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, schema therapy and other appropriate techniques, to support the client in achieving his or her goals and addressing specific problems.
Evaluation
During treatment we regularly evaluate the client’s progress. We jointly discuss the results achieved, any challenges and any adjustments needed to the treatment plan to ensure that the treatment remains effective.
Conclusion
Once the goals have been achieved and the client is satisfied with the progress achieved, we conclude the treatment. We provide aftercare advice and any recommendations for further support if required, to ensure the client can continue to feel good after completing treatment.
Treatment methods
We offer cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR and schema therapy in our practice. These are treatment methods whose effectiveness has been demonstrated in scientific research. Treatment can also consist of a combination of these therapies.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses ideas and behavior as starting points for changing feelings. CBT is a treatment based on experiential learning: by thinking together and, above all, trying things out, it is investigated how expected events sometimes deviate from actual events. In this way, more freedom of action is created and negative views about yourself, others and the world are nuanced.
EMDR
EMDR is a therapy for people who continue to suffer from the consequences of a traumatic experience or major event. This can be a shocking experience, such as a traffic accident or violent crime. EMDR can also be used for other experiences that have had a significant impact on the development of a person’s life, such as being bullied or a situation that provokes a lot of shame.
Schema therapy
Schema therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps you understand and change the origins of behavioral patterns. The influence of childhood experiences on your patterns and daily life is investigated. Schema therapy helps you to recognize obstructive patterns and to make adjustments where necessary. You learn to feel what your needs are and you learn to stand up for them in a healthy way.
