A booking for two people needs about four lines more than a booking for one, and the four lines are not the ones most couples expect. Here is the whole process, in the order it actually happens, with your decisions separated from the practical details that follow in the thread.
Decide two things between you
How long, and roughly what each of you wants. That is genuinely all that has to be settled before a message gets sent.
Length first, because it sets the price. Two therapists on a couple are two full sessions an hour, neither halved for sharing a room, so ninety minutes is that hour and a half, two hours twice it, three hours three times over. A single therapist taking the two of you one after the other runs on the couples single-therapist row instead, at half the pair hour, with the same lengths beneath it and each hour past three charged like the first. A whole night is one block for the two of you with one therapist and a larger block with two. The rates table on any profile has the ladder in full.
Then what each of you wants, separately. Not a joint decision, two answers. One of you may want deep work through the back and the other something entirely different, and that is the normal shape of a couples booking rather than a complication in one.
What to put in the message
- Date and time, and whether the time is firm or approximate.
- Length, and whether you want two therapists or one working through the two of you in sequence.
- What each of you is after, two lines, one each, however roughly phrased.
- Any therapist preferences, one per person; the roster runs to forty-five people and you can choose independently.
- The address, the room number, and the name the room is under. Not the district, the actual address.
- Anything uneven between the two of you. One of us has done this before and one has not is the single most useful sentence in the message.
That is it. Everything else, which names are free, the exact start, how the room gets arranged, follows in the thread and on the night, and does not need deciding by two people over a table.
What happens next
Booking runs over WhatsApp, with Telegram available if the two of you prefer it. The confirmation names the two therapists who have taken the booking and the hour they have agreed to.
Arrival in the centre is forty to sixty minutes from confirmation. That figure is the same wherever in the centre you are, it does not shorten because you are near Dam Square or lengthen because you are out toward the Pijp. Schiphol airport hotels are possible by arrangement, on enquiry, and need more notice than a booking in town.
We work twenty-four hours, every day, and nothing costs more at night. There is no night surcharge, no weekend surcharge and no travel charge inside the ring, so the two of you can decide at half past eleven that this is happening and pay what a Tuesday afternoon costs.
On arrival, and at the end
Two therapists arrive together and are unremarkable in a lobby. The room takes about four minutes to arrange and the therapists do it. The opening conversation is short and is held with each of you separately, which is when the two halves of the booking get set properly, so if something in the message was vague, that is where it stops being vague.
Half is settled in the thread once the booking is agreed, and the balance on arrival, once, for the two of you: card, crypto, or cash, with an amount in a currency other than the euro confirmed in writing first. Settle it at the start and do not think about it again.
If the two of you want the longer version of all of this before sending anything, the couples guide covers the same ground with the logistics laid out, and the booking page lists what to send in the order to send it.
