Who are my clients?

I support all clients irrespective of race, religion, class, culture, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. My clients often come from the international professional or expat community although not exclusively.

Is therapy confidential?

Counselling is strictly confidential. Without your permission, nothing will be disclosed to third parties. Confidentiality can only be breached in exceptional circumstances where the safety of you or others is at risk.

For the purposes of treatment it is necessary for me as your therapist to keep some information about you. This is also a legal requirement imposed by the Wet op de geneeskundige behandelovereenkomst (Wgbo). Your dossier contains my notes and other information about the treatment programme. The dossier may also include other information about you that is necessary for treatment which has been obtained from another healthcare provider with your explicit permission.

The information in your dossier can be use for the following purposes:

• To brief another healthcare provider to whom you are referred for additional treatment. This will only be done with your explict permission.

• In anonymized form for the purpose of professional supervision of my practice.

​

The invoice you receive will show the information required for you to submit a claim to your health insurer: name, address, birth date, treatment date, treatment description (e.g., "psychosociaal consult"), and cost.
