Friendship therapy at Practice Love: warm, loving and effective

Our science-based approach is highly successful in reconnecting and/or making an informed decision. 4 to 8 sessions are often enough for lasting improvement in the friendship relationship.

Friendship is one of our most precious relationships we get to experience. Do you clash often? Want to give the friendship an extra boost for life? Do you want to make sure you can be there for each other unconditionally again? With us, you have come to the right place!

There can be so many reasons why the friendship is not going the way you want it to for a while. We lovingly figure out where the connection between you can be restored. That way you can support each other unconditionally again and have fun together.

During therapy attention is given to:

  1. Improve your communication;
  2. emotional connection;
  3. Mutual Understanding;
  4. Conflict and Recovery;
  5. Needs and Expectations.

Effective friendship therapy: systemic approach

Praktijk de Liefde specializes in concrete and effective therapy from systems therapy. With systems therapy, we look at the whole system. That is, all persons who play an important role in your life such as your partner, children, family, friends or colleagues. We can involve these in therapy to see what the influence of others is. Systemic therapy is evidence-based; research shows that systemic therapy is effective.

During friendship therapy, we listen carefully to who you are and what you need. This is followed by appropriate counseling, completely tailored to your personal situation.

Purpose of couples therapy

Friendship is one of our most important relationships we can wish for. A friend for life is what we wish for everyone. This does not always succeed without a struggle. In any relationship, it is normal for there to be clashes between two people from time to time, even in friendship. Our goal is to strengthen your friendship and bring you closer together again. Friendship therapy is the proven way to ensure that you understand each other again and experience and give unconditional support.

How does it work?

A safe setting is important. Therefore, we first have an introductory meeting where we see if there is a mutual “click. It’s nice if you both feel comfortable discussing your desires and doubts freely. Nothing is crazy, everyone is different and there are many ways relationships can work well again. After the no-obligation introduction, we begin counseling with an intake interview.

In the following sessions, we focus on:

  1. the request for help;
  2. Breaking patterns;
  3. the desired perspective;
  4. more connection.
After the intake, four to eight sessions are already sufficient for lasting improvement in your friendship relationship (one session lasts 75 minutes). After the intake, we evaluate the process and decide together whether to continue therapy. Attending the sessions is possible both during the day and in the evening.
