That depends. Many of our practitioners are covered by insurers under the alternative medicine category. This is displayed on their profile and is also stated on the invoices we send you. You can claim these invoices from your health insurance provider, but please note that often only a part of the cost is reimbursed.

Check your insurer’s website to find out whether you are covered for alternative medicine. You can visit Zorgwijzer, a website listing all insurers.

If you are employed, your employer may offer options as well. Nowadays, increasing numbers of organisations have a budget specifically providing for the development and mental support of their employees. Ask your employer about the options available to you. Gevoelszaken also offers programmes for employers.

As mentioned, the costs of most of our therapists are at least partially reimbursed by your supplementary health insurance (under alternative medicine). However, this does not apply if you only have a basic policy.

Nowadays, many employers put aside special funds from which you may be able to get reimbursed for your therapy or coaching. Keeping you healthy and ‘on the job’ is a priority for many employers, so don’t be afraid to bring it up! Ask your HR officer for more information.

As a self-employed entrepreneur (freelancer), you can claim the costs for job-related or other coaching as a business expense as long as it is necessary for your work. The regulations relating to this change very frequently, so check this with your accountant or tax adviser.

Coaching or therapy costs for individuals are currently no longer deductible. Once again, the same applies: call the tax helpline or consult your accountant to be sure.

In some cases, organisations such as municipalities or the UWV (Employee Insurance Agency) have special ‘funds’ for training or coaching. Do make enquiries about it, because it could make a big difference for you.

We would love it if insurers provided 100% coverage for all psychological help. This is not the case, unfortunately. In order for the insurer to cover the help you receive, your specific problem has to be given the right ‘label’. If you are struggling with stress, burnout symptoms, sex-related problems, relationship issues, existential problems, or issues that do not come with an official label or diagnosis, there is a good chance that any psychological help you receive for these problems will not be covered. In addition, there is also an insurance excess (385 euros per year in 2024), so you will have to pay for the first sessions yourself. We therefore advise you to investigate your options thoroughly with your insurer. Naturally, if you are unable to find a solution, you are more than welcome to come to us.
