What we treat

What we do, and what we don’t

We treat adults, at our two locations or by video call. If we are not the right place, we would rather say so before a long wait than after.

Two routes

Basic and specialised care

Which route applies is in your GP’s referral letter. Is your GP unsure? Then we look at it together in the intake conversation.

Basic care

For problems that a shorter treatment can help you get on top of. Usually 5 to 12 sessions.

Anxiety, depression and other problems.

Specialised care

For more severe or long-standing problems. A lead clinician oversees your treatment, which can be longer or more intensive.

All six diagnosis groups below.

What we help with

Our six diagnosis groups

These are also the groups in which we publish our waiting times. Which group your needs fall in is decided by a clinician in the intake conversation, not by the website.

  • Anxiety

    Panic, worry, social anxiety and phobias.

    Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), also in a group.

Honest up front

For these, another place suits you better

Not because it matters less, but because you will get the right help sooner elsewhere. Your GP knows where.

Check whether De Luwte suits you
  • Acute crisis or crisis care. Your GP, the out-of-hours GP service, 113 and 112 are there for that.
  • Addiction as the main problem. An addiction care service can help you better.
  • Eating disorders with physical risks.
  • Psychosis or bipolar disorder that needs a psychiatrist and medication.
  • Assessment for ADHD or autism.
