Registration

The best way to contact me is by email. After a brief telephone conversation, you will know whether your concerns can be addressed in my practice and whether there is availability at that time or a waiting list.

Before the start of the first appointment, you must ensure that you have a referral letter from your general practitioner (GP). The referral letter must state a (suspected) disorder, include your GP’s AGB code, the date, and specify that the referral is for specialized mental health care (S-GGZ). Without a valid and up-to-date referral letter, treatment cannot begin. In addition, you are required to bring a valid form of identification and your health insurance card to the first appointment.anmelden

Between Registration and Intake

You can contact your referring physician (GP or current healthcare provider) as long as the intake has not yet taken place and/or the treatment has not yet started.

Duration of Treatment

The first two to three sessions are part of the assessment process, which consists of conversations, questionnaires, and observations. The length of treatment depends on the nature of the problem. In most cases, ten to twenty-five sessions are sufficient for someone to continue independently. In cases of more complex issues, treatment may take longer.

For individual consultations, a session lasts 50–60 minutes, while couples therapy sessions last 60–90 minutes.uur van de behandeling.

Privacy statement

The policy regarding privacy regulations can be found in the information for new clients and in my privacy statement.

Kwaliteitsstatuut

Since 01-01-2017, every healthcare provider is required to have a quality statute. This outlines the qualifications of the practitioner and their working methods. Most of the information from this statute is already stated on this website. The quality requirements set by my professional association (the Dutch Association of Independent Psychologists and Psychotherapists, LVVP) are met. This means that I participate in peer consultation (intervision), practice audits (visitation), continuing and further education, and that I adhere to the professional code of the LVVP

Cancelling Appointments

When you have an appointment, that time is reserved for you. You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance. If you cancel later, you will receive a no-show invoice of €75. Please note that weekends are not included in this calculation. This means that if you wish to cancel an appointment on Monday, you must do so no later than Friday morning.fspraken afzeggen

Complaints

Providing careful and professional care with respect for my clients is of great importance to me. However, if there is anything in my way of working that you are dissatisfied with, you are warmly invited to discuss it with me. This may benefit both the therapeutic relationship and the treatment process.

If this does not lead to a satisfactory outcome, you may consider submitting a complaint to the Landelijke Vereniging van Vrijgevestigde Psychologen en Psychotherapeuten, the professional association with which I am affiliated.

Accessibility during crisis and outside office hours

In case of crisis, I am available to my clients by telephone (06-41219499)

During the intake, the emergency contact protocol will be discussed with you. It is also always possible to consult your general practitioner (GP) in case of acute problems.

In the evenings and at weekends, you can contact the Central GP out-of-hours service (tel. 088 003 0600).
