WHAT MAKES MINDBOOSTER UNIQUE?
Our therapists are vetted. They master three crucial skills for effective therapy:
A deeper understanding of human life
Psychology is one of the black arts. You can gather a lot of knowledge from books, courses, basic training, and practice. Yet, to truly make a difference the therapist needs an X-factor: a trustworthy gut feeling (intuition), great analyzing skills, and the ability to puzzle the pieces back together.
Wise advice
Each session you take a message home, learn something new, or discover a new view point. No matter how small. The therapist makes you work, and the therapy works for you. Likewise, your therapist speaks a language you comprehend about things that really matter to you.
Tool box of tricks
Your therapist can be a chameleon. Shifting from empathic to joking to challenging. Being your hands-on coach to kick start a new action phase. Or a patient listener that shines a light at the end of the tunnel when you work through past grievances. Your MindBooster eagerly employs tools from various effective therapies, according to your needs. Being in therapy is not boring or predictable. Your therapist has quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
Our MindBoosters come from various parts around the globe. Although we all speak English, you can check if you can be matched to a counselor who speaks your mother tongue.
Topics
More quality of life
Do you want to get out of the rat race? Western society demands conformism. Structures and checks are imposed on us. Scaring us into sacrificing pieces of ourselves in return for comfort, elusive safety and security. More people feel fundamentally unhappy and depart in an eternal search to better their lives. Against the grain. Empathic, hands-on support assists to improve your quality of life and make rewarding, invigorating life style choices. A happy healthy balanced life.
Stuck?
Do you feel stuck in a rut? Do you wake up in the morning thinking ‘Is this it?’ Chasing your own tail? Feeling demotivated, tired and unappreciated? Fending off a burn out? When anything interferes with your happiness or prevents you from achieving your goals, our solution-focused approach breaks the deadlock and retrieves your sense of purpose. Gain more clarity and vitality. Recover your drive and enthusiasm.
Off the beaten track
Want to venture off the beaten track, but not sure how? Your MindBooster supports you to formulate achievable goals and provides the tools for a successful trip. Or, are you living your dream, but having trouble acclimatizing? Moving in uncharted territories is not easy. For you or those close to you. We ease your difficult journey from problem to solution. Allow us to be your compass and travel companion. MindBooster navigates you successfully to a life style that best fits your needs.
Making sense of the past
Making sense of the past: You have everything you want, yet are unable to feel happy. Something in your past is holding you back to reach your full potential. Here, you can identify and research problems more effectively, find fundamental solutions and receive genuine support through the crucial steps of the process.
Crossroads
‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’, used to be your motto. Now you are no longer sure. A rapid succession of adverse events has worn you down. Your resilience is overstretched. You are facing one of the major changes in your life (separation, loss, changing jobs or careers, moving house, parenting…) and feel confused. There is an overwhelming amount of decisions to make, practicalities to take care of, emotions and uncertainties to deal with. Apart from offering a listening ear, our evidence-based tools and exercises will boost your resilience, allow you to better handle stressors, and deal with major life changes.
Trauma, addiction and depression
Our trained psychologists offer assistance for specific problems, such as trauma, addiction and depression. Have you experienced a shocking event that shattered your world view, your beliefs in what is good and right, and violated your sense of self? Do you drink or use more than what is good for you? Are you struggling with an addiction to a substance (weed, cocaine, heroin, medication, …) or a behavior (gaming, shopping, eating, …)? Feeling down the whole time? Have you lost the meaning of life? Psychological counseling or psychotherapy can put you back on track. Or get the guidance and support you need to get back in the world. We offer after care.

How?
You can get counseling in the following ways:
Face-to-face support via video bears the closest resemblance to counseling in a brick and mortar setting. You can see your therapist and make use of your facial and bodily expressions to get difficult messages across. You can see, hear and feel you are not alone. Video lends itself perfectly for in-depth work and developing a strong working relationship. Book a session here. Advance booking is necessary so both parties are available.
Telephone support is a very useful means for coaching and counselling. It offers greater convenience compared to face-to-face sessions. You can call unkempt from the coziness of your bed if you prefer. Or while you are trying out some of the tips provided by your therapist. It allows greater depth than email and messaging. Book your call here.
Chatting live with your therapist is a quick, easy and convenient way to communicate in real time. Share thoughts, progress and achievements with your therapist via Instant Messaging. Gain quick advice and feedback or have in-depth sessions. Experience true support in your pocket. Share photos, videos, screenshots, documents, links and data from other applications during the chat. This boosts your motivation and cements your progress. Enjoy the discretion of messaging combined with the ‘live’ interaction and instant response from your therapist. Schedule your chat here.
Email: Support via email offers the same (well-documented) advantage as writing therapy. As you commit your thoughts and emotions to paper/ your laptop, they are structured. As you try to bring a coherent account of what happened, events and emotions are placed in context. A very important therapeutic task. You gain a deeper awareness. Forgotten emotions and thoughts resurface and are dealt with. Yet you are totally in control. Save drafts, attach documents, send links and media. Edit and revise. All in your own time. Nothing is shared until you press ‘send’. Writing exercises sift the thoughts that swim relentlessly through your mind. It helps gain clarity and focus. It improves enthusiasm and motivation. Likewise, your therapist will thoroughly contemplate an adequate response, give wise advice and suggest links and tools. Drop us a line to get started.
Exchanging messages: Contact your therapist at any time, from anywhere, using any internet-connected device, 24/7, via message. It doesn’t require scheduling. Text about yourself, the things going on in your life. Ask questions. Discuss the issues that trouble you. Your therapist will read your messages, and respond with questions, feedback, insights, and guidance. You are automatically notified. Discover one of the main advantages of e-counseling: Scroll through your previous messages and responses. Reflect on the input. Quickly refresh your memory, anytime, anywhere. Whenever you need it. Click here to start.
Blended communications: Use any mix of communications you like: Talk via video to get to know each other and have more traditional-style sessions. Speak in-depth on certain topics over the phone. Send quick updates via messaging. Take your time to elaborate and find the right words in an email. Work together on a shared online worksheet. Catch up via video. Gain swift advice via a message. Have a short chat over a sudden problem. Savor success with a screenshot… The combinations and opportunities are endless. Gain the best support at the right time for you, wherever you may be. Click here to start.
Caution: Online therapy is possibly not the best solution for you. If you are in urgent crisis, have thoughts of hurting yourself or others, have been advised to be in psychiatric care, or are a minor, please consult the appropriate help lines in your country.
