Feeling stuck together? Work on your relationship from home.

It rarely starts with one major conflict. More often, it is a build-up of small moments: a comment that lands badly, a silence that lasts too long, a feeling that you are no longer being heard. When those patterns repeat, sometimes for years, more talking rarely helps. What you need is someone who sees what lies beneath the arguments. Online relationship therapy through Ik Wil Verandering focuses on exactly that layer: your emotional responses, your beliefs about yourself and each other, and the triggers that keep returning.

In traditional relationship counselling, conversation is central: you share what is happening, and the therapist reflects and offers insights. This has value, but it does not always change the emotional charge of a memory or pattern. IEMT, Integral Eye Movement Therapy, uses guided eye movements and focuses on stuck memories, beliefs and identity patterns. In March 2026, the first exploratory peer-reviewed study on IEMT appeared in the Journal of Evidence-Based Psychotherapies, published by researchers including those from Maastricht University. With 33 participants, the study showed that IEMT eye movements significantly reduced the emotional charge of negative memories, with results comparable to EMDR, and that 60% of participants experienced them as gentler and calmer. This is an initial exploratory study; further replication is needed. Still, it offers an indication that IEMT touches on something that purely verbal therapy sometimes does not reach.

The initial consultation lasts 60 minutes and costs €100 excluding VAT. Payment is handled securely through Stripe, and you do not need to install anything for the video call. In that first session, Janine listens to what is happening, not to judge, but to understand which patterns are stuck and who is experiencing them. She works calmly and methodically: first, she explores what is happening emotionally, then considers which IEMT interventions may be helpful. Online therapy for couples experiencing relationship difficulties is not a quick fix, but after one session you can already get a sense of whether change is possible. In serious crises or situations involving safety risks, Janine always refers you to your GP or a specialist care provider.
