Online therapy
Talking to a psychologist does not have to wait until you have a two-hour gap in your diary. Through a secure video connection you talk to me from a quiet place at home, while I sit in my practice in Amsterdam city centre.
To me, online is a form of contact, not a separate treatment. You talk to the same psychologist and work the same way as at the practice. You only save the travel time.
It is often a practical choice: a full week, a long journey or a job you cannot easily step away from. Others simply find it easier to talk from a place where they feel at ease.
A laptop or computer with a camera, a stable internet connection, headphones and a room where you can sit undisturbed for an hour. That is all.
Online is not always the best form, and I will tell you so honestly. With some complaints I prefer to be in the same room, because I see more and can adjust more quickly. I also prefer to do a first intake at the practice, if that is possible. Many people combine the two: the intake in Amsterdam, then some of the sessions online.
I am not an online platform with changing therapists. You talk to me, every time.
