You don't have to figure it out alone
Maybe things have felt heavy for a while, or you've been meaning to talk to someone once life calms down. Reaching out is a step, not a failure. Together we look at what's going on, and at what helps you feel and do things differently.
How online therapy works
1. Free intro call
A free, no-obligation 20-minute video call to see whether we're a good fit.
2. Intake
We map what you're dealing with and what you want from therapy.
3. Sessions
Online, from anywhere in the Netherlands. We decide the number of sessions together.
About Ylonka
I'm Ylonka de Rave, a psychologist registered with the NIP (the Dutch Institute of Psychologists), with more than 15 years of experience. I work in a warm, down-to-earth way, in English as naturally as in Dutch. My approach draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), EMDR, ACT, and schema therapy, tailored to you.
Practical
- Fully online, across the Netherlands
- Sessions in English or Dutch
- No waiting list
- No referral or GP letter needed
- Free 20-minute video intro call
- Individual sessions €120 (60 minutes). Flexible Mental Check-in plans from €55 per month (one session every two months, 12-month plan).
- Not reimbursed by the Dutch basisverzekering (basic health insurance): ask your employer or supplementary insurer about partial cover
Insurance and eligibility
De Rave Psychologie isn't covered by the Dutch basic health insurance (basisverzekering): being NIP-registered and referral-free doesn't mean this is included in your standard cover. Many supplementary insurance policies and employers do reimburse part of the cost, so it's worth checking with your insurer or employer. During your free intro call, Ylonka is happy to think through what's possible for you.
Younger than 18? Reaching out for help takes courage, and it's worth it. De Rave Psychologie currently only treats clients aged 18 and over, so Ylonka isn't the right person for you. Support is still available: make an appointment with your GP (huisarts) and ask for a referral to a psychologist. That's a good first step, since your GP will know which practices specialise in helping young people.
