Method
As of February 1st, 2021, I will be closing my practice. I am not taking on new clients.
Ex clients wanting to contact me can write me at jlbpraktijk@xs4all.nl
In my practice I work with heterosexual and homosexual couples and individuals. Relationship counseling is often ideal for people dealing with issues dealing with intimacy and sexuality. These themes have influence on both parties in a relationship. While couples therapy is not always the easiest path for relational solutions, it is often the most effective.
The next step we collaborate on is to design a treatment plan which we will inplement together. The themes, goals and planning the course of the therapy are important parts of the treatment plan. The treatment sessions will focus on helping you solve your problems or to examine alternatives to deal with them differently and more positively. Sessions are 90 minutes for a couple and 60 minutes for individual clients.
Waiting time for the first intake session is between 2 and 4 weeks. A possible treatment will start soon after the intake.
