No. As a Gestalt therapist, my work falls under complementary (alternative) healthcare. This means:
You don’t need a referral from your doctor
Sessions are paid directly by you
You may be eligible for reimbursement by submitting my invoice as a claim. If and how much you get reimbursed, varies. I do not work with your doctor's referral system, which is funded differently. However, I am willing to discuss how I can help you. If so, you would need to pay for the sessions yourself.
-
Gestalt therapy may be reimbursed through your additional Dutch insurance package.
Please note:
Coverage depends on your provider and plan
Reimbursement is not deducted from your deductible (eigen risico)
It’s your responsibility to check your coverage before starting

Most of my clients come weekly or by-weekly. During our intake we can discuss what fits your situation. Especially in the beginning it’s recommended to meet weekly to make a proper start of the therapy.
-
You can cancel or move an appointment, up to 30 hours in advance. Sessions that you have to cancel later, will be charged fully.
-
I tend to work without a waiting list, as there is an organic progression in my practice.

As a member of local and European Gestalt Associations, I hold myself to the ethical code of our profession.
If there are any complaints about my approach I would love to learn how to improve by hearing it directly from my client. But if that’s not a possibility, there’s an ethics comity that can help you, listen, and if needed mediate. They outsource mediation by the independent complaint association SCAG.

In working with people so intimately I think it’s important to constantly research my own process, learn and deepen my practices.
This is why I have regular supervision, intervision and deepen my learnings on myself and on specific topics by joining seminars and workshops.
