In therapy, I guarantee careful treatment of the client and his feelings, strengths, resources, and condition. We always go exactly where the client is ready to go, and as far as he is ready. I am always glad when the therapy space slowly becomes safe and expanding for the client. When there is a lot of air in it and it breathes freely.
Depending on the specifics of the client's request, we select the most appropriate therapy format. My main method, scheme therapy, is not short—term and still involves relatively long-term work.
In acute situations and conditions, I practice crisis counseling — here we can limit ourselves to client stabilization and resourcing. Or we can go further and deeper, working for a longer time.
