How do I know if this is the right treatment?

You don't decide that alone. During the intake and problem analysis, your lead practitioner looks together with you at which form best fits your symptoms, your goals and your context.

Can it also be online or in my own language?

Often, yes. We offer care on location in Eindhoven and Den Bosch, hybrid or via video calling, and tailor treatment to your language and cultural background.
