Vision
What is the philosophy from which Nedanza works?
Contact, Context and Compassion are core concepts for therapy.
Contact
Through respect, equality and attention, we seek to make contact and open the way for comfort and healing. The philosopher Martin Buber states: 'I become myself through the other.' We are relational beings.
Context
Our focus is also on context. Which interactions are meaningful, empowering and supportive? Which relationship feels like a warm coat and which like a straitjacket?
Compassion
We believe that everyone carries the strength to grow within themselves. Compassion is a prerequisite to set that strength in motion. We don't want to 'fix' others. We strive for affirmation and self-acceptance.
Filosofie & Inspiratie
We feel at home with the ideas of the Sufi scholar and poet Rumi, the philosophers Buber and Levinas. Rumi emphasizes that without love there is no meaning. Buber speaks of life's struggle in which I and Thou meet. Levinas feels the necessity to help the 'Other', for whom he considers himself responsible.
Integratieve werkwijze
We work integratively, focusing on behavioral, cognitive, experiential and systemic therapies. Various members are trained as systemic therapists and in Rogerian counseling. We pay attention to questions about meaning and spirituality.
Teamontwikkeling
We pay great attention to the inner life of our team members. We offer all team members the internal training 'contactual therapy', based on the book by Mr. P. Pijpers. Additionally, we see supervision as a prerequisite for our team members to be close to others.

Client Council
Alone you go faster, together you go further!
Client Council
Contact, Context and Compassion are the core values of Nedanza. In addition to the legal frameworks, these values provide the basis for enabling clients to have a say in policy. This is done through the client council. The client council represents the common interests of clients and gives them a voice.
The composition of the members reflects the client population of Nedanza. The client council meets four times per calendar year. An agenda is prepared for each meeting. During the meetings, members can raise various issues. The recommendations are then submitted to the management of Nedanza.
Your opinion matters!
As a client, you can also provide input for the meeting agenda of the client council. The client council strives to represent the interests of all clients. It helps enormously if they know what clients find important or what challenges they face during their journey at Nedanza.
You can get in touch with the members of the client council by sending an email to clientenraad@nedanza.nl. The mailbox is reviewed in the weeks leading up to the next meeting.
