Therapy FAQs | Your Care Therapy Utrecht

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy is helpful if you want greater self-awareness, emotional support, healing from past experiences, or help navigating challenges such as anxiety, overwhelm, trauma, relationship difficulties, or life transitions. Therapy is a space to reconnect with yourself, understand patterns in the mind and body, and cultivate greater ease, trust, and inner strength.

What happens during the initial consultation?

The free 15-minute introductory consultation call is an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, ask questions, and explore whether the therapeutic fit feels right for you.

How long are sessions and how often do they take place?

Sessions are 50 minutes long. Depending on your needs and goals, sessions can take place weekly, bi-weekly, or every three weeks.

How much does therapy cost?

The standard price for a 50-minute session cost is €110. For individuals with lower income, a discounted price is applicable. If you wish to benefit from discounted pricing, please let me know in the initial contact form.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?

If you want to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please email niina@yourcaretherapy.com. I gently ask you to inform me 24 hours before the planned appointment to avoid the late cancellation fee.

What approaches do you use?

I use holistic, trauma-informed, and body-centered approaches including:
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Schema Therapy (ST)
Gestalt therapy
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
Systemic/Family Constellation
Mindfulness and Zen-based approaches

What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?

Therapy is tailored to each individual and what works for one person may not work for another. My approach emphasizes a compassionate, individualized process that integrates both mind and body, allowing therapy to move at a pace that feels supportive and safe for you. The introduction call is also there to make sure that it's the right fit for you.

Where are you located for in-person sessions?

Sessions can take place online or in my practice at Maliestraat 3, Utrecht, 3581SH

Do you work with insurance?

I currently work independently from health insurance providers. This allows for greater flexibility and a more personalized therapeutic process. Some of the benefits include:

Freedom to tailor the therapeutic approach to your individual needs and offer more specialized support
No fixed limit on the number of sessions, allowing space for deeper, longer-term work when needed
Session frequency can be adjusted based on your individual needs and goals.
