As a registered clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, I work in both primary and specialised mental health care. My aim is to provide clients with personalised treatment as much as possible. In addition to treatment, I specialise in psychodiagnostics (psychological assessment). The goal of this is to gain insight into the origin and meaning of the client's issues; understanding this helps us to develop a meaningful treatment plan. In treatment, I use a wide range of therapeutic methods including psychodynamic therapy, CBT and EMDR. The central focus is always on the client. In addition to these treatments, I collaborate with other psychologists in the practice as a coordinating therapist.
The process I go through with clients looks like this:
REFERRAL
A referral from the general practitioner or another healthcare professional is necessary to qualify for reimbursement from the insurer. Referrals can be made by phone (06-17678884) or via email
INTAKE AND TREATMENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT
During the intake, your issues will be assessed. We will examine how you function in various areas (work, home, relationships) and gather information about your background. We will discuss your expectations of therapy/therapist and what you would like to address. The intake phase concludes with discussing the diagnostics and developing a treatment plan. This is a mutual agreement on what the therapy will focus on and how it will be conducted. Each individual session lasts 45 to 60 minutes.
THERAPY PHASE
The therapy phase involves executing the treatment plan. Depending on your issues and what was agreed upon in the treatment plan, therapy may be shorter or longer. Your progress will be regularly evaluated during treatment. Is the therapy still progressing well? Does the treatment plan still fit, or does it need to be (partially) adjusted?
THERAPY COMPLETION
The third phase involves completing the therapy. The duration of completing treatment will vary for each person. Every therapy concludes with an end evaluation. What were you satisfied with and what not? Are there any loose ends? What should you do if your issues return in the future?
