Individual therapy

The goal of individual therapy from the systems viewpoint is to gain deep insights into yourself, how you relate to relationships and the patterns that influence your relationships. Through these insights, underlying dynamics and behaviors become clear, allowing us to begin an effective change process. This process helps you break negative patterns, but also empowers you to be your authentic self.

This allows you to build healthy and fulfilling relationships from your true self, both with others and with yourself.

We are the only practice in the Netherlands with such a strong specialization in systemic therapy. You can come to us directly, without a waiting list. Sessions are available both during the day and in the evening.

Individual therapy gives you insight into your relationships. Relationships in your personal life but also at work, for example. What blocks you in your relationship to yourself and in your relationship with others? What chafes at this? During individual therapy, we search for the answers together.

Individual therapy: how and what?

Our individual therapy focuses on you: your relationships, how you relate to others, and what is truly important to you in them. At Practice Love, we look together at deeper patterns, beliefs and emotions that may be holding you back from experiencing freedom and authenticity in your connections.

We look for the causes of what is holding you back from being fully yourself and support you in finding insight and strength. By understanding and transforming these processes, you learn to be stronger and more conscious in life. Therapy offers you the space to discover more fulfillment and harmony, both in your relationships with others and with yourself. This allows you to make new connections and enrich existing relationships from self-insight and trust.

At Practice Love, we guide you through this process. For example, we focus on:

  • Family of origin and attachment: The influence of your family and past experiences in how you connect today.
  • Family dynamics and patterns: Recognizing recurring behaviors that may be repeated in your current relationships.
  • Self-image and self-confidence: How you view yourself and how much confidence you have in your own worth.
  • Boundaries and needs: Discovering what you need and learning how to express it in a healthy way.
  • Emotional Processing: Space for feeling through feelings such as fear, sadness, or anger, and learning how to deal with them.

Purpose of individual therapy

The goal of therapy is to gain a better understanding of your relationship patterns. With this insight, we initiate a change process so you can be who you are. In doing so, we use a systemic approach: focusing on the whole system, such as the family or your closest friends. Systemic therapy is evidence-based; research shows that systemic therapy is effective.

How do we proceed?

After a no-obligation introduction, we begin counseling with an intake interview. In doing so, it is important that there is a mutual “click” so that you feel safe to share your story, thoughts and emotions with the therapist. In the follow-up sessions, we focus on:

  1. the request for help;
  2. The patterns; generations in your family;
  3. the goals;
  4. the change requirements;

Once we have identified these questions, five to eight sessions of 65 minutes each follow. After the intake, we evaluate the process and decide together whether to continue therapy.

Contact

We recommend starting with a comprehensive intake. In this conversation we get a complete picture of your request for help and specific needs, and you can experience whether there is a good click with the therapist. This allows us to tailor the counseling exactly to your goals and expectations. This intake is a valuable first step towards an in-depth, personal approach.
Prefer to meet first and get an impression of our way of working? Then we offer a 20 minute introductory talk. At Praktijk de Liefde we ask a fee for the introductory talk, so that we can start from the beginning with attention and quality. You can come to us immediately, with no waiting list. Sessions can be taken during the day or in the evening.
Do you have any questions? Feel free to contact us by phone, email, or schedule an appointment directly through our online booking system.
