What kind of clients do I see?
You may simply be having some problems getting on with your life. Many of my clients are anxious and have trouble getting rid of thoughts or physical sensations or are depressed and can't seem to find the interest in life or energy they once had; oftentimes it seems like a combination of these. Many are having difficulty with work, love relationships or friendships. Many are wondering who they are or to which career they might be suited. Some are having difficulty recovering from alcohol, drug or internet addictions or are adult survivors or sexual abuse. Some are experiencing communication problems and trouble with focusing and attention. Some clients are are trying to make a significant decision, such as whether to get married or divorced, to change jobs or move, and so on.....
How do I work?
I believe strongly that psychological assessment and psychotherapy are collaborative ventures. By that I mean that my clients and I work together to achieve the client's goals. Your task is to talk about whatever is on your mind. As your psychologist, my task is to....
-listen carefully; look for patterns in your thinking and behaviour.
-to point out alternative interpretations of events and provide you with exercises or tools to help move you through the 'blocks.'
-provide strategies for problem solving and
ask you provocative questions to stimulate your thinking.
Psychotherapy helps you to come to your own conscious decisions about courses of action, based on your own best interests instead of unconscious needs or conflicts.
It is my belief that the psychotherapeutic approach should be tailored to the client. To this end, my first job is to assess what psychotherapeutic approach would be most useful to you. Usually this is done by asking you questions and by one or two personality questionnaires. Different clients will progress at different rates and may be receiving different types of psychotherapy. What matters is what works for you!
Dr de Jong often finds that just a few sessions are all that is necessary to discover a direction.
