Costs and reimbursement

In my practice, I use the NZa (Dutch Healthcare Authority) rates for psychological care. The practice is partially contracted, meaning I have contracts with several health insurers and I also work with others without a contract.

The level of reimbursement depends on your health insurer and the specific policy you have. With an in-kind policy, the reimbursement for non-contracted care may be lower than with a reimbursement policy. If you’re unsure about your situation, please feel free to contact me—I’d be happy to explain.

I believe it’s important that psychological care remains accessible to everyone who needs it. If the reimbursement from your health insurance isn’t fully sufficient, I’m happy to discuss the options with you. Individual agreements regarding the co-payment are available, tailored to your financial situation. Together, we’ll find a suitable solution so that care doesn’t pose an unnecessary barrier.

Registration procedure

Referral
A referral from your GP is required for treatment. This referral must be for general basic mental healthcare or specialist mental healthcare, depending on the nature of your symptoms.

Waiting Time
New treatment places are currently available starting in January 2026, with no further waiting time.

Registration
You can register by email or phone. If desired, we will first schedule a short exploratory consultation to determine which type of care is most appropriate.

Intake
During the intake, we will get to know you and identify your background, symptoms, needs, and expectations. We will discuss your goals and the appropriate treatment options.

Treatment Plan
Based on the intake, we will develop a treatment plan together. This plan outlines our goals and the most appropriate forms of therapy. The treatment plan will be adjusted as needed throughout the process.

The therapeutic approaches I offer are:
– Integrative psychotherapy
– Psychodynamic psychotherapy
– Schema therapy
– Trauma treatment
– EMDR therapy
– Group therapy (psychodynamic group therapy and schema group therapy)

Crisis

In case of a crisis, I am available on weekdays between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM.

If you are experiencing a crisis, we will discuss what support is appropriate outside my working hours. We will make a personal plan, which will include your GP, the out-of-hours GP service, and – if necessary – colleagues from my professional network.

In case of an acute crisis, you can always contact your own GP or the out-of-hours GP service.
