Rates and reimbursement
Clarity about time and cost, up front
I work without contracts with health insurers. That means you do not need a referral and the support does not fall under the Dutch insurance excess. In principle you pay the cost yourself. Partial reimbursement is sometimes possible through supplementary insurance or an employer. Always check this in advance with your own insurer or employer.
You know in advance how long a session lasts and what it costs. There are no hidden charges and there is no package you have to buy up front.
Paying and cancelling
You receive the invoice after the session. The payment term is fourteen days. An appointment can be rescheduled or cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours in advance.
- Payment term of fourteen days from the invoice date
- Free rescheduling or cancellation up to 24 hours in advance
- Cancelling within 24 hours or not attending: the session rate may be charged

After the intake I can, when it fits, advise a short series of four or six conversations. You get clarity in advance about the goal, the duration and the total cost. Such a series is not sold as a fixed EMDR package.
Reimbursement
What you can check yourself
The support falls outside Dutch basic health insurance. Two routes are worth checking.
Supplementary insurance
Your supplementary insurance may reimburse part of the cost. The terms differ per insurer and per policy. Ask in advance, in writing, which terms apply to support from a psychologist NIP.
Through your employer
An employer is sometimes willing to pay from a prevention, development or absence budget. A quote can be drawn up for that in consultation. No information about content is shared with your employer without your consent.
- No referral from your GP needed
- No Dutch insurance excess applies
- No data shared with health insurers
- The invoice carries no diagnosis or description of content
Always check in advance with your own insurer or employer what applies in your situation.
Practical
Questions about cost and appointments
After the session. The payment term is fourteen days. For a series of sessions we agree in advance how invoicing works.
No. The invoice shows your name, the date, the number of sessions and the amount. There is no diagnosis or description of content on it.
No. Because I work without contracts with health insurers you can register directly. A small number of insurers do ask for one for supplementary reimbursement, so check your policy.
Rescheduling or cancelling is free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. Within 24 hours, or if you do not attend, the session rate may be charged. Let me know as soon as you can and we will find a new slot together.
That is possible, for example from a prevention, development or absence budget. Request a quote and you receive a document you can submit. I share no information about content without your consent.
No. We start with a single intake. Only after that do we discuss whether a short series makes sense and how many conversations that involves.
