Inclusion and exclusion criteria
We offer assessment and treatment for children, young people and adults with concerns about mental health, behaviour, emotions or development.
For example, people come to us with questions about anxiety, low mood, behaviour, emotions, trauma or grief. You can also contact us with questions about child development, parenting, or if you’re feeling stuck in your daily life.
We believe it is important that the care we provide is well suited to a person’s needs and to what we as a practice can offer. That is why we work with inclusion and exclusion criteria. On this page, you can read what this means and which criteria we apply.
What are inclusion and exclusion criteria?
Inclusion and exclusion criteria are conditions that help determine whether our healthcare services are suitable for your needs or situation.
Inclusion criteria describe when a request for care falls within the scope of our services. Exclusion criteria indicate when a request for care is less suitable or does not fit within the scope of our services. By determining in advance whether the care request is suitable, we ensure that you receive the care that best meets your needs.
The fact that we work with inclusion and exclusion criteria means that we carefully assess every application and work together to determine what is appropriate at that time.
Our inclusion and exclusion criteria
We offer outpatient diagnosis and treatment for (suspected) various psychological and psychiatric symptoms and concerns.
We can offer support in areas including:
- anxiety symptoms;
- gloom and depressive symptoms;
- compulsive symptoms;
- problems with emotion regulation;
- behavioural problems;
- low self-esteem;
- autism;
- AD(H)D;
- trauma;
- mourning;
- giftedness;
- identity-related questions;
- parenting questions.
In some situations, the request for help may not be particularly well suited to the services we offer, or other or additional support may be required first. This may be the case, for example, with:
- a developmental age of under 4 years;
- vulnerability to crisis or severe psychiatric problems requiring intensive support, day treatment or 24-hour availability;
- an acute crisis, such as current suicidal tendencies, serious self-harm or psychotic symptoms;
- recurrent suicidal behaviour;
- substance misuse as the primary reason for seeking help, or substance use that hinders diagnosis or treatment;
- questions arising from a legal or judicial context where an assessment or valuation is required;
- a request for assistance that relates exclusively to dyslexia or dyscalculia assessment;
- conditions requiring a specific specialist treatment setting, such as certain severe eating disorders, paraphilic disorders, conversion disorders, disruptive mood disorders or dissociative disorders as the primary condition;
- in-family insecurity, such as physical or verbal abuse or the threat thereof;
- situations where the main reason for referral is a complex divorce or serious systemic or attachment issues. Where appropriate systemic support is already in place, individual treatment for additional symptoms may sometimes be possible;
- situations in which only mediation therapy is appropriate;
- an IQ below 75 (this assessment is always made on an individual basis);
- serious aggressive behaviour which means that the safety of yourself, others or our staff cannot be adequately guaranteed.
