For Who?

Accepting your life as it is is also a challenge;
perhaps the greatest one can face.
— Vaslav Nijinsky

Age is a number, not a limitation. Within our practice we specialize in helping you to get to know yourself better. We will teach you how to  reconnect with yourself and to open up for the benefit of your own development, competencies and skills.

Home » For Who?

Always evolving

As humans, we are always evolving and we are always focused on how to improve ourselves and our environment. Our development begins in childhood and actually lasts throughout our lives. We all face challenges and difficulties and deal with them in our own way. This applies to everyone, but at the same time, all people develop differently.  Often we do not feel heard or seen and we experience the feeling of a lack or an actual lack. Problems do not just appear out of the blue, but can be the result of a long struggle and sometimes even the result of difficulties  with the people around us. It takes courage to be willing to look at yourself and take responsibility for your own life. Some of us are able to regain strength and find ways to deal with life on their own. Others can use a little help with this or just a push into the right direction.
We believe that the difficult moments in life often try to tell us something. Sometimes in the form of difficulties and challenges that we encounter. We see this as an opening that gives us the opportunity to change and improve our lives.

Looking at possibilities

Raja Psychologie believes in the possibilities, competencies  and skills of people and in their future. An important part of how you form as human beings takes place in your early years. Life is asking a lot of you and the options you have are endless. At the same time, you do not know yet where you want to go or what your goals are. The world is at your feet, you have your whole life ahead of you, but it can be overwhelming and scary at the same time. We can’t tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. We believe that you know better yourself and that we as humans can learn from each other. Not by interfering with each other, but by listening and discussing how you can find and continue on the way to your future.

What we ask of you

We are a multicultural team and our clients have diverse cultural backgrounds. We respect diversity and value everyone, regardless of origin, age, gender, religion and life choice. That is also how we work and build a treatment path.
Working on change and improvement is a process in which we here at Raja Psychologie try to clarify how you think about things, how you feel and how you behave. Our mission at Raja Psychologie is to give you as an individual enough space so that you can take the steps that suit you, develop in your way and at your pace. We therefore choose to combine treatment conversations with other forms of therapy (such as Coaching, Movement Therapy, Mindfulness, Body-oriented Therapy or Art Therapy).

We are a multidisciplinary team. Our practitioners are specialized in a specific field and sometimes work closely together to investigate various issues or requests for help and provide solutions for you.
The advantage is that the team comes up with creative, valuable solutions from different perspectives to work on your goals.
The biggest challenge is that every therapist has a different way of thinking and their own working method. So what we ask of you is that you are open to new ideas, want to actively work on yourself for a change and remain curious about yourself and what life has to offer you.

To improve is to change

Working on change and improvement is a process in which we will try to clarify how you think about things, how you feel and how you behave. Knowing yourself means recognizing different parts of your identity, personality and being. In our practice we believe that it can be extremely supportive to gain new experiences and get to know yourself in a different environment. This can sometimes be uncomfortable but it can help you to get more in touch with yourself and your feelings.

A score we are proud of

It was a big step for me to sign up with a psychologist because I didn’t think my problems were big enough. Ultimately, no matter how big your problems are, you can always come to this practice. Mr. Raja is a fine therapist who offers enough space to tell your story.
5/5
The help I get here is amazing! The environment is very nice and the person I am talking to now is very nice and she listens to me and also gives me good advice and tools that work. In addition, it’s nice that I can email her if I’m feeling down and just don’t know what to do. It’s nice to know you’re not alone in this.
5/5
I am very satisfied with my treatment. The situation has been looked at very appropriately and based on that, it has been determined what is good and what is not. This has provided clear tools to make a quicker and better choice. This personally didn’t go well and an insight from someone else helps a lot in determining what is right and what is not. Ultimately, this benefited myself and I became more independent. My anxiety problems have become much less because of this and I have become stronger. I’m very happy with that too.
5/5
A good problem analysis was made and the advice was in line with this. I liked the feedback of what I had learned via e-mail. This confirmed whether I had understood the advice correctly. The atmosphere during the talks was good. Attention was paid to what was said or not said.
5/5
Some time ago I came to Emma through Shehzad with my daughter. Inaya, a girl of 7 years old, got very stuck. Anger at school, and we didn’t quite know where this came from. Emma was very supportive to both me and mother, and Inaya. I was always available for questions, and Inaya loved talking to her. Emma taught Inaya how to deal with her anger, and gave us great advice that also helped school.
5/5
The treatments give your thoughts a different perspective and they help to keep you on the right path, in addition, they are all very sweet people, making the environment feel safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 €90 per 60-minute session.
