What is it?

​​

Chat therapy is an accessible and effective form of psychological counseling in which we interact with each other through a secure platform. We do this through text messages, which gives you the space to express your thoughts and feelings in your own way and at your own pace.

​

Chat therapy is for anyone who seeks psychological counseling and enjoys communicating through text. It can help with a variety of topics, such as:

​

• Stress and burn-out

• Anxiety symptoms

• Feelings of depression

• Relational issues

• Personal development

• ...

 

Why choose for chat therapy?

​

Chat therapy offers an approachable, flexible and personal way to work on your mental well-being. The written nature gives you the space to carefully articulate your thoughts and read back the conversations later. This can be ideal for people who prefer not to receive face-to-face or digital therapy (yet) for some reason or have a need for even more flexibility regarding scheduling sessions.​

​

Chat therapy thus has several advantages: 

​

• Flexibility: You can chat when and where it suits you.​

​

• Safety: In your own familiar surroundings you can open up more easily.

​

• Peace and reflection: Because everything is done in writing, you can think calmly about what you want to share.

​

• ​Accessibility: For those who find talking difficult, writing can be an accessible way to express feelings.

How does it work online?​

 

Phase 1: Registration

​​​​​

If you have registered for online chat therapy via email or the registration form, I will first get in touch with you. During this initial contact, we will discuss your needs and determine together whether chat therapy is the right form of support for you. This helps clarify what you need and how I can best guide you.

Only once we both agree will we schedule a start date together. This ensures that the treatment aligns well with your preferences and goals.

Phase 2: Chat therapy​​

​

The essence of online chat therapy lies in sessions that typically last 30 to 45 minutes. However, depending on your needs, the conversations can be shorter or longer.

Thanks to the flexibility of this medium, therapy can be tailored to fit your schedule and personal preferences. Whether it’s an in-depth discussion or a brief consultation, chat therapy offers an accessible and efficient way to work on your mental well-being.​​

Phase 3: Completion and maintenance

​

Online chat therapy concludes once clear tools and insights have been provided to address your specific concerns. This marks an important milestone where you can move forward independently with the strategies you’ve gained.

​

Additionally, maintenance sessions remain an option. These sessions can be used to revisit previous tools, discuss new situations, or evaluate your progress. This way, you continue to have access to support whenever needed.

⇨ Attention!

 

Chat therapy can be a valuable tool, but it is not suitable for everyone. In the case of serious complaints, such as an acute crisis or suicidal thoughts, more intensive help is often necessary. During the registration it will become clear whether chat therapy is suitable for your situation. I am here to support you in a way that suits you. Take the first step and discover how chat therapy can help you move forward!
