At Ouicantalk, I work with teenagers (12+), adults, caregivers, and families. You don’t need a doctor’s referral or a diagnosis to start therapy. Before booking, check with your health insurance about refund conditions. For children under 12, please contact me first to discuss their needs.

My practice is unable to assist in emergencies where specialized care is required. For emergency mental health care, please contact your GP/Huisarts, who can refer you to the appropriate service. I also do not work with the following situations (considered emergencies): strong suicidal thoughts, severe anorexia, severe aggression, severe addiction disorders, and psychotic features

I don’t offer free consultations, but I do provide a free 15-minute call to discuss your needs and see if I can help. This call also gives you a chance to decide if you’d like to book an intake session. It’s important to me that we both feel comfortable working together for a positive therapy experience.

If you’re ready, you can book an intake session directly by contacting me through the contact form, email, or phone. I’ll respond within 48 hours.

If you’d like more information before booking, we can arrange a free 15-minute phone call to discuss your needs. 

I do not work with a waiting list. I will do my best to schedule a first intake session in the 10 days after you contact me. You can plan to start regular sessions 2-3 weeks after this initial consultation.

There are no strict rules in therapy. During the initial consultation, we’ll decide together on the number of sessions and their frequency based on your needs, availability, financial situation, and how therapy progresses.

Typically, we start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions. As you feel more stable and confident, we can gradually space out appointments to suit your readiness

I offer different types of consultation. I often do not work longer than 40 min with children. 

For teenagers and adults consultation you pay for a 60′ session – this include a 50′ one on one talk and 10′ indirect therapy. This is the time I need to do some administration work related to your session. 

I propose a longer consultation for couple and family. This varies depending on how many people participate to this session. It is important that everyone has time to express, listen and share

This is a question I often get asked but unfortunatly there’s no general answer. It varies depending on each individual. That’s why it is important to schedule an intake before you start therapy with any psychologist. I might not be the person that you need, I might propose a different approach that the one you are looking for, you might not feel confortable in my practice… Those are questions you need to ask yourself and ask me during our first consultation. 

I do not have a contract with Health Insurance Providers. As a private practice, this means that you will be the one covering the fee and you will have to look for potential refund yourself. This do not mean that you can’t get any coverage of your therapy cost. Some international and dutch health insurance propose full or partial reimboursement. However these can differs depending on your insurance plan. 

Therapy is confidential, I do not share information about you and our work together. All the information that you share with me will stay between us. I also do not share confidential information with your health insurance provider unless this has been discussed together in advance. 

However there’s certain situation where I do need to share certain informations : 

• You give me written consent to share some informations 
• I get ordered to share by court of law. 
• In certain situation where I have to break confidentiality, for example if someone or yourself is in imminent danger. I will of course try to communicate aboute these with you before. I invite you to read full Terms and condition, here.

The first session is an intake session, where the main goal is to get to know each other and discuss your reasons for seeking therapy. We’ll talk about your current situation, goals, and any challenges you’re facing. This helps me understand how I can best support you and determine if we’re a good fit to work together.

During this session, I’ll also explain how therapy works, what to expect moving forward, and how we can track your progress.

I usually recommend scheduling at least 3 sessions upfront. This allows us enough time to establish a solid therapeutic relationship and see how things unfold. Three sessions give us a good sense of whether we’re working well together and if the approach is effective for you.
