Who is PTG suitable for?

At PTG it is not necessary to have a diagnosis or referral from your gp to receive treatment. You can book a session directly via the ‘contact’ page. In order to provide the right care, there will be a check during a first free introduction call to see whether your request for help fits within the care provided by PTG. After mutual approval, we will plan your first session.

PTG is suitable for people who suffer from light till mild psychological complaints or who want to prevent having them.

I can help you out with these requests for help

Anxiety

I suffer from fears such as panic attacks, fear of what others think of me, fear of what may happen in the future, or a specific fear. I avoid certain activities or places because of this fear, which makes my world feel smaller and smaller or take a lot of energy.

Depression

I feel down, I have little energy and lack of motivation to do anything. I suffer from negative thoughts about myself, the world or the future. This makes it difficult to go through my life. It’s hard to feel positive and negative emotions, It’s like I’m feeling numb.

Burn-out

I feel stressed out. I feel very responsible for others. I quickly go beyond my limits. I feel off balance, but I don’t set boundaries. I suffer from burnout complaints or I worry that I will develop them soon.

Self-image

I never feel good enough about myself. I always feel like I need to work harder. I feel scared that people will reject me. I would like to improve my relationship with myself and develop a more positive self-image.

Indecisiveness

I have a hard time to make decisions. I often don’t know what to choose. This can be about small choices or bigger ones (work, relationships, hobbies). I actually don’t really know what I feel and who I am. I keep on overthinking.

Trauma

I experienced a harmful situation or I was witnessing it. I often think back about this or dream about it and feel very tensed. After this event I noticed I started to have complaints.

Who is PTG not suitable for?

Unfortunately, Psychologist to go cannot offer you the appropiate care if you suffer from:

  • psychosis
  • severe suicidal thoughts or plans
  • severe addiction issues
  • a complex trauma
  • severe forms of personality disorder
  • if you need medication
  • if you need specific diagnostic (for example autism or ADHD)

If you recognise yourself in the above list, it is important to contact your gp first, as PTG cannot offer you the right help in this regard. I will always think with you where you could find the help that is best suited for you.
