Orientation interview

Practice for psychotherapy & relationship therapy

Break the difficult patterns

Psychotherapy in Amsterdam and Utrecht

  • Struggling with your feelings
  • Are you looking for a stronger connection with others?
  • Do you experience little satisfaction or unsatisfactory feelings?
  • Experiences or thoughts that are difficult to process
  • Constant arguments and conflicts without a goal
  • Experiencing a lack of intimacy
  • (Life) themes that affect you
  • Long-term dissatisfaction

In this practice you can find more depth than an approach with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from mental health care.

Besides relieving complaints or getting through a difficult time, you may also be looking for direction on how to develop yourself, or how to get rid of oppressive ideas or experiences.

In addition to individual psychotherapy, the practice also offers relationship therapy.

An orientation meeting is free, without obligation, and can also be held via Zoom. An orientation meeting for relationship therapy is offered at a reduced rate and is always held on location in Amsterdam or Utrecht.

Psychotherapy

Sometimes you find yourself stuck in your own thoughts, your feelings fading into the background. Or, conversely, your emotions take over and make it difficult to think clearly. Psychotherapy helps you restore your balance between feeling and thinking, allowing you to live more freely and forge deeper connections with others.

Relationship therapy

Every relationship has its ups and downs, but sometimes the problems seem to pile up. Recurring arguments, alienation, or a lack of connection can create distance and uncertainty. Relationship therapy helps break patterns, improve communication, and truly understand each other again.

Do you want to invest in a strong, healthy relationship? Discover how relationship therapy can help you.

"I was able to share my story, while Jaap offered his reflections, which I consumed with great interest. I have a good feeling about it. Thank you for the excellent assistance."

Rob 62 years old - individual therapy

Jaap has been incredibly helpful to us recently. He created a safe and trusting environment where we could be honest with each other and ourselves. His patience, insight, and practical advice have helped us listen to each other more effectively and engage in deeper conversations about our feelings and expectations.

""Last month, I completed my long-term program at this practice. Jaap was thoughtful, respectful, and even confident enough to hold up a mirror to me when I needed it. I can now move forward with confidence!""

Tristan 28 years old - individual therapy

"Therapy was a homecoming for me, a place where I could peacefully discover my truth. The conversations provided a place for both everyday and the most unbearable feelings. I understand myself better now, and that's a huge relief."

Anna 48 years old - individual therapy

We got in touch with Jaap through a tip. He's a therapist who's disarming but also holds up a mirror to us. He's been incredibly helpful in getting our relationship back on track. We're so grateful to Jaap for that!

Start with a no-obligation orientation meeting

During an orientation meeting, you can ask any questions you'd like. The goal of an orientation meeting is also to determine whether therapy is a good way to address your concerns. I will strive to understand you as best as possible and point out opportunities for personal development.

    Friendship Break, The Absence Test

    It's possible that friendships possess qualities of passion or commitment, allowing friendship to go beyond mere liking. One test that can distinguish mere liking from love that goes beyond liking is the absence test. When a typical friend you like goes away for a long period, we miss […]

    Bobo doll study, distinction between modeling and performing

    To understand how modeling works, a distinction must be made between learning and performing. Whether the person actually performs the learned behavior, however, depends on the consequences at the moment of performance. Bandura (1965) demonstrated this distinction between learning and performing with his classic Bobo doll study. A Bobo doll is a life-size, inflatable plastic doll […]
