Individual psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy may be helpful when you experience recurring emotional or interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, low mood, problems related to self-esteem, stressful life events or experiences from the past that continue to affect you.

Treatment is tailored to your needs and personal circumstances. Depending on your difficulties, different psychotherapeutic methods may be used.

Trauma-focused treatment is also available when appropriate.

Sessions can take place entirely in English.

Couples therapy

Couples therapy can be helpful when you find yourselves caught in recurring patterns, experience difficulties communicating or feel increasingly disconnected from each other.

Therapy offers an opportunity to explore these patterns together, gain a better understanding of what happens between you and work towards a different way of relating to each other.

Couples therapy can be provided in English as well as Dutch.

Insurance and referral

Individual psychotherapy may, under certain conditions, be eligible for reimbursement through Dutch basic health insurance. GillissenPsychotherapie does not have contracts with health insurers, which means that treatment is provided as non-contracted care.

For individual psychotherapy that qualifies for reimbursement under Dutch basic health insurance, a valid referral is required. The amount reimbursed depends on your health insurer and insurance policy. The statutory deductible may also apply.

If you are insured in the Netherlands, I recommend checking with your health insurer before starting treatment to find out which conditions and reimbursement rates apply to non-contracted mental healthcare.

Couples therapy is generally paid for privately and does not require a referral.
