How does your first consultation with the psychologist at JoVo Psychologenpraktijk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Initially, the psychologist tries to understand your symptoms within the broader framework of your family history and environment. To this end, the psychotherapist asks targeted and simple questions during the introductory interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psychologist's own questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During your first interview in the psychology practice<\/em> you can put all your questions to the psychologist<\/a> About the counselling (diagnosis, counselling, coaching, psychotherapy) and how it proceeds. For example: duration, frequency, rate, methodology, expectations, confidentiality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your story<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In addition, you can tell everything you want yourself: what is going wrong in your life, the complaints you have. How everything has come to this point. And it goes without saying that you don't have to tell anything you don't want to tell. The psychologist will make this conversation smooth and pleasant with questions and explanations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opinion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After one or a few exploratory sessions, the psychologist will give you concrete advice, suggest coaching or psychotherapy, or refer you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I trust the Psychologist Practice?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Clinical psychologists are bound by their profession's deontology and ethics. Anything you put in the\u00a0Psychologist practice<\/em> tells is strictly confidential. It is talk therapy<\/a>. There is also a disciplinary board at the psychologists' board where you can make your own complaints about your psychotherapist: www.compsy.be\/klacht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can always restart terminated or discontinued psychotherapy later. You will then be given priority over new patients. This therefore means that the relationship with the psychotherapist remains forever a psychotherapist-patient relationship, even after therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psychologists are not allowed to disclose about psychotherapy to others without your written consent. Exceptionally, however, the psychotherapist has the right to speak in emergencies. Of course, you can always tell anyone about your psychotherapy and your psychotherapist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the Psychologist Practice bound by rules?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes. The psychotherapist in the psychology practice<\/em> must adhere to strict professional rules when practising his profession. These rules are contained in the Belgian Federation of Psychologists' professional code of ethics (www.bfp-fbp.be). And also in that of clinical psychologists (www.vvkp.be).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, a psychotherapist<\/a> bound by the rules of the professional association to which he belongs. At the Psychologist Practice, you will find them at www.bsp-ebp.be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
