Therapy is a series that offers a glimpse into the intimate space shared by a therapist and their client. Seasons 1, 2, and 3 aired in 2019, 2022, and 2025 on Canvas. Season 4 is now available on VRT MAX.
In the new season, several therapists once again open the door to their consulting rooms. Some familiar faces from the previous season return, but we also meet a number of new therapists – both younger professionals and those with many years of experience.
Unmanned cameras capture the sessions with clients, who allow us to look deep into their souls. We also get to know the therapists’ world: how do they process the sessions, what do they take home with them, and how do they approach their work? They open up not only their therapy space, but also themselves and their own experiences.
Each season a number of well-known public figures sit in front of the camera to share their therapy experiences candidly. In this fourth season we are joined by, amongst others, singer Katrien Verbeeck (Kate Ryan), and footballer Toby Alderweireld.
Therapy offers an intimate look into the world of psychotherapy, and into the struggles and longings of our own lives.
