We start the intake session with an introduction/screening in which we explain the Mindler method and ask you some initial questions. We do this to estimate whether Mindler can offer you the right help.
If we don't think we can offer you the right treatment, we will inform you of this. If possible, we will work with you to find a suitable referral, so that you can still receive the right help as soon as possible. If that is not possible, we will refer you back to your GP with advice for appropriate care.
If we come to the conclusion that Mindler can offer you the right help, your complaints and situation will be discussed in more detail. After the intake, we can give you treatment advice and make a plan.
