FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PHONE CONSULTATION?

It is a 15-minute introductory call for us to get to know each other. You can ask any questions you have, we will explore your expectations, and we’ll see if we are a good match for working together.

WHICH THERAPY SHOULD I CHOOSE?

You don’t have to worry about choosing the "right" one beforehand. During our intake, we will talk about your needs and goals, and together we will figure out the approach—whether it is EFT, EMDR, or another method—that best fits your journey.

WHO CAN APPLY FOR THE TREATMENT?

I provide psychological support to adult individuals and couples. As an expat psychologist, I specialize in helping those navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma.

WHAT IS EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help the brain process traumatic or distressing memories. Although EMDR is often associated with trauma and PTSD, it can also be helpful for general or social anxiety, phobias, low self-esteem, grief, psychosomatic disorders, sexual dysfunction disorders, etc. You can watch these helpful videos to see how it works: Video 1 and Video 2. 

ARE SESSIONS CONFIDENTIAL?

Yes. What we discuss is kept strictly confidential. The only exceptions are legal obligations (such as a court order) or situations where there is a serious and immediate risk of harm to yourself or someone else. In these rare cases, I would need to contact the relevant authorities to ensure safety.

HOW MUCH DO SESSIONS COST?

You can find a detailed breakdown of my current rates and session types on my Pricing Page.

WILL MY SESSION COSTS BE REIMBURSED?

No, inNurture is a private practice and does not hold agreements with Tervisekassa. All sessions must be paid out-of-pocket, and I do not coordinate directly with insurance providers.

FOR HOW LONG SHOULD I ATTEND THE SESSIONS?

There is no fixed number of sessions. Therapy is a highly individual process; for some, a few sessions provide the necessary clarity, while others benefit from longer-term support. We will regularly check in on your progress and adjust as we go.

WHO CANNOT RECEIVE TREATMENT FROM US?

Because I operate a private practice without a multidisciplinary team, I am unable to provide the intensive support required for certain conditions. This includes active psychosis, severe eating disorders, acute substance addiction, or high-risk crises involving frequent self-harm or suicidal intent. In such cases, specialized clinical care is more appropriate.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS MY APPOINTMENT?

I require at least 24 hours' notice for any cancellations or changes. This allows me to offer the time to someone else. If a session is missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, 50% of the session fee will be charged. Of course, I understand that emergencies happen, so please feel free to discuss this with me if an unexpected situation arises.

WHAT EMDR THERAPY LENGTH SHOULD I CHOOSE?

I offer different session lengths (60, 75 or 90 minutes). A 60-minute sessions are perfect for initial sessions, and longer sessions allow for deeper processing, but we will decide the best fit together based on your specific needs and the complexity of the work.

WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF inNurture SERVICES?

I provide high-quality, evidence-based care (EFT, EMDR, Schema Therapy) backed by professional training across the Netherlands, the UK, and Ireland. To ensure the highest standards, I participate in regular supervision for all these modalities.
