FAQ

Treatment conversations with a psychologist offer you the opportunity to better see what you encounter and to discover how you can best deal with it. Your capacity for self-reflection is strengthened: what is wrong with me and what do I actually need?

There is a lot of variety in how we work together. Sometimes it is necessary, for example, to introduce a lot of structure in the sessions by sticking to fixed themes or exercises, and sometimes it is more appropriate to let go of the structure and the therapy mainly depends on your input. One is not necessarily better than the other. This depends on how you are put together, on the complaints you experience and on what you find important.

At our practice we are happy to help you to work on your goals!

In the case of mild or moderate psychological complaints, treatment at our practice is usually possible. For example: sadness, fears, negative self-image, low self-confidence and life questions. You are always welcome to contact us to discuss the possibilities and to gain more clarity about what you need to change and improve your life. We usually do not treat serious problems. This is because, for example, we do not have the possibility of recording and we do not have 24-hour availability or crisis service. We can therefore not provide the care that is actually needed.

If you are unsure whether treatment is appropriate for our practice, please contact us for a consultation. You could also contact your doctor to look together for appropriate help.

Our practice has contracts with all health insurers in the Netherlands and we offer insured care that can be reimbursed under the basic insurance. When reimbursed under the basic insurance, you always pay your deductible first, which is € 385 per year as standard. You will also receive a bill for this from your insurer.

To be eligible for reimbursed treatment consultations, we need a referral letter from your GP. This can also be sent digitally via Zorgdomein to Raja Psychologie in The Hague.

The rates for reimbursed treatment sessions can be found here.

Treatment consultations on the basis of self-payment are also possible. The rate is then €125 per 60-minute session.

An appointment must now be rescheduled/cancelled at least 48 hours in advance.
To do this you can call the practice (070 204 2006) and leave a message, reach out to us via website or whatsapp or email info@rajapsychologie.nl .
All appointments must be rescheduled/cancelled by contacting our office.
The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can find a new spot for you. This way we can help someone else at the time that has become available. If your appointment is scheduled after a weekend or public holiday, please contact us no later than the last working day before your appointment.
If the appointment is rescheduled too late, we will charge €100. You will receive a separate invoice for this that you cannot submit to your health insurer. 

This depends on a number of factors: the type of problem, the severity and duration of the complaints, the form of therapy and your own wishes. In the case of mild complaints, a small number of conversations (3-5) is sometimes sufficient to be able to continue on your own. For some types of problems, a longer process is helpful. We can never accurately predict the number of sessions that someone is in therapy, because everyone experiences complaints differently and every person is put together differently and responds differently to therapy.

Either way, the control is in your hands. For example, it may be that in therapy topics come up that you did not come for in the first place. It is then up to you whether you want to devote further sessions to this, or whether you park it for now because it is not a priority.

Sessions last about 60 minutes by default. We ask you to be present 15 minutes before the start of the appointment, so that we can enter the appointment on time and in peace.

You can contact our practice. Call 070 204 2006 and leave a callback request, send us a message via our website or whatsapp. You can also reach us by email at info@rajapsychologie.nl. We like to think along with you.

Raja Psychologie does not have a crisis service. In the event of a crisis, you should contact your GP (office hours) or the GP posts (outside office hours).

To be eligible for reimbursed treatment consultations, we need a referral letter from your GP. This can also be sent digitally via Zorgdomein to Raja Psychologie in The Hague.

No referral is required for self-payment treatment sessions. The rate is then €125 per 60-minute session.
