Frequently Asked Questions
Sexuality therapy is a goal-oriented and interactive process focusing on questions and challenges related to sexuality, gender, or relationships. Sexuality therapy process typically consists of at least 5 sessions, often more. Sexuality therapy should only be conducted by a professional who has received explicit training in it. Therapy can be targeted towards individuals, couples, or multiple partners.
Sexuality therapy does not involve any form of physical touch, nudity, or sexual activities. Clients are never asked or allowed to send private pictures, share explicit content, or engage in any behavior that crosses professional boundaries. The focus is on providing guidance, education, and support through conversation only. If professional boundaries are crossed during a session, I will immediately end and leave the meeting, as well as report the incident to the authorities, when necessary. If you have concerns about what is appropriate, feel free to ask for clarification.
You can book a therapy session if you have any question or issue on your mind related to sexuality, gender, or relationships. Issues that people often seek sexuality therapy for relate to questions about sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual desire, intimacy in relationships, body image, communication issues, etc. In some cases, your question or issue might not match with my current skills or knowledge. If I’m not the right person to help you, I will help you find support from other professionals or resources, such as trauma therapists, psychotherapists, psychologists, doctors, physiotherapists, or helpful organizations. The most important thing is that you seek help, and in any case, I will help you forward!
Nope. Of course, I hope that you come to therapy with a question or topic related to sexuality, gender, or relationships in mind. Other than that, you don't need to do any other preparation. Just come as you are!
I can conduct sessions for you only, you and your partner(s) together, or for your partner(s) only. For example, if we have planned five counseling sessions, we can agree to have two of them individually with you, two with your partner present as well, and one with your partner only. This must always be planned in advance, however, and your partner(s) must be willing to be participate. Because it often takes a longer time to work through things having more than one person present, the sessions involving more than one person are 75 minutes in duration instead of 45 minutes, and therefore also have a higher price. You can check the current pricing of these sessions on the “Therapy for Us" page.
We will decide the number of session together based on the question or issue at hand, both of our availability, and what you are able or willing to pay for the therapy. Most commonly, sexuality therapy consists of at least 5 sessions, but the eventual number can also be much higher. Extra sessions can always be added later, if we agree that more time is needed for progress.
After the introductory session, I will send you an invoice based on the number and type of sessions we have agreed on together. During the introductory session, I will also inform you about the pricing, so that nothing comes as a surprise. Please be mindful, that the therapy process cannot be started, if the invoice has not been fully paid, unless agreed otherwise. With this policy, I ensure your commitment to the process and protect myself from any exploitation. If you wish to book more sessions, I will send you another invoice according to our new agreement.
I believe that money shouldn't get in the way of asking or receiving help. Please know that I want to make sexuality therapy as accessible as possible. If you are person with low income (e.g., a full-time student, unemployed) and are not able to pay the full session price, please reach out to me, and we can talk about adjusting the pricing to your personal financial situation or making a payment plan, so that you don't have to pay the full price of the process at once.

It’s my responsibility as a professional to create a truly safe space and ensure client confidentiality. I will not disclose the client’s personal details or other information that they could be identified from with anyone. I will also inform the client of any notes I will keep during the therapy process and I will make sure to store the notes safely behind a password or physical lock. The notes are for my personal use only, and they do not contain any information that could identify the client (name, initials, age, gender). After the therapy process has come to an end, I will immediately delete or destroy any notes I have kept. During the remote sessions, I will always be located in a private setting and make use of headphones. I also ask my clients to join the sessions from a place with enough privacy, so that they feel safe to speak openly. Confidentiality will only be broken in situations required by the law.
You can see my availability for the introductory sessions in my appointment calendar. I typically work during office hours, but exceptions can be discussed. If you don't see a suitable time slot in my appointment calendar, you can reach out via the "Contact" tab. As I live in the Netherlands, my time zone is Central European Time (UTC+1). The appointment calendar adjusts for your own time zone. All following sessions we will schedule together, usually 1-2 weeks from each other.
At the moment, all therapy happens online via Zoom.
