Why special attention for healthcare professionals?

Healthcare professionals want to give, even have to give. But they also deserve to receive and that is not at all self-evident.

Anyone who chooses to work in healthcare finds it difficult to ask for help for themselves; doctors, psychologists, nurses or any healthcare provider. We're going on too long. Admitting that things are not going well mentally is complicated.

We know from our own experience how difficult it is to ask for psychological support when it is really necessary. And how hard it is to find it.

Self-knowledge and blind spots

“A healthcare professional can only provide the best care if he or she also takes good care of themselves. Knowing where you stand, knowing your qualities. Recognizing and acknowledging pitfalls and blind spots. This ensures vitality, fun and less absenteeism in the workplace. Efficient care starts with the well-being of the healthcare professional”.

That is why I am pleased to meet the need and provide care for this professional group in particular: healthcare professionals.ls.

What does SYNTAGMA offer?

I know from experience that healthcare professionals often benefit from a different treatment offer than most people.

One's own knowledge about the psyche, being unable to surrender to the role reversal from care provider to care recipient and the stigma attached to psychological complaints play a role. These complaints are trivialized and the request for help is therefore postponed. That is why I focus on prevention and training and, in addition to supervision and learning therapy, I offer contracted psychological care and personal coaching.

Below you will find the range within the reimbursed care with referral:

• Diagnostics and treatment
• Therapy, where my frame of reference is eclectic; I work from different angles, including psychodynamic theory, Compassion Focused Theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, systems therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, etc. See also under treatment forms.
• Trauma-oriented treatment, including EMDR, has my special attention;
• Couples therapy is also highly valued by healthcare professionals.

Coaching is also possible:

Coaching is nowadays a collective term for a wide range. To investigate whether coaching or therapy is appropriate for you, it is best to make an appointment, in which we investigate this together. Usually we can resolve this in a conversation and I can give you more targeted advice.

What I then enter coaching offer is diverse.

• Support for work-related issues
• Support with relationship or family problems
• Burnout guidance or prevention of burnout
• Personal development issues
