The sessions are designed to foster self-awareness, helping you understand how you experience your situation and the direction you want to take. By exploring and adjusting your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, you regain a sense of control over your situation and your life.
Walk-and-talk therapy ( Vondelpark) - 60 min
Walk-and-talk therapy ( Vondelpark) is a dynamic alternative to traditional office sessions where the client and therapist engage in conversation while walking outdoors.
