Rokin · short waiting time · specialist mental health care · partly reimbursed depending on your Dutch insurance policy
Are anxiety, low mood, difficult experiences or recurring patterns affecting your daily life? At Huis voor Bewustzijn, you can receive psychological treatment in English. Together, we explore what is happening and which treatment fits your needs.
We work with a range of psychological difficulties. The examples below may help you recognise what you are experiencing. You do not need to know your diagnosis or choose a treatment method before registering.
During the registration process, we assess whether our care fits your needs.
When anxiety, tension or panic begins to affect everyday life, we explore what triggers these responses, what keeps them going and what may help you respond differently.
Past experiences can continue to affect emotions, behaviour, relationships and physical responses long after the event itself has passed. Treatment can help reduce their ongoing impact.
Low mood, emptiness, loss of motivation or feeling stuck can have many different causes. Together, we explore what is happening and what may help restore movement and direction.
Sometimes you understand exactly what you would like to do differently, yet find yourself repeating the same reactions, choices or relationship patterns. Therapy can help you recognise these patterns and begin to change them.
The way you see yourself can influence your relationships, choices and the space you allow yourself to take. We explore how these beliefs developed and how they can begin to shift.
Long-term stress is not only experienced in the mind. The body responds as well. Where relevant, we therefore include physical tension, stress responses and regulation in treatment.
Huis voor Bewustzijn provides specialist mental health care in the Netherlands without contracts with health insurers.
For treatment within insured mental health care, you will generally need a valid referral from a GP or another authorised referrer.
The amount reimbursed depends on your Dutch health insurance provider and your specific policy. Because Huis voor Bewustzijn provides non-contracted care, part of the treatment costs may remain at your own expense.
We therefore recommend checking with your health insurer in advance how much of non-contracted mental health care is covered by your policy.
Our practice at Rokin is in central Amsterdam. We provide specialist mental health care for adults experiencing psychological difficulties, distressing emotions or recurring patterns.
We take a holistic approach: we look at you as a whole person. This includes your thoughts, emotions, physical responses, earlier experiences and relationships.
Where appropriate, our clinicians combine psychological and psychotherapeutic methods with exercises that focus on your body, emotions or relationships. The approach is tailored to your needs and treatment plan.
During the intake, we discuss your symptoms, background and what you would like to change. Your relationships, earlier experiences and physical responses may also be relevant.
Together, we agree on treatment goals and an approach that fits your needs.
We regularly discuss how treatment is progressing and make adjustments where needed. You can ask questions and tell your clinician how you are experiencing the sessions.
Our clinicians have different professional backgrounds and areas of expertise. This allows us to approach psychological difficulties from several perspectives and combine methods when appropriate.
For exploring and changing deeper emotional, relational and personal patterns.
A trauma-focused treatment that can help when distressing experiences from the past continue to cause symptoms in the present.
Focused on the relationship between thoughts, emotions and behaviour and on changing patterns that maintain psychological difficulties.
For persistent patterns in thinking, feeling and relationships that often developed earlier in life.
Focused on developing greater flexibility in the way you relate to difficult thoughts, emotions and experiences.
Where appropriate, we include physical responses, emotions and direct experience because change does not always happen through thinking and talking alone.
Psychological difficulties do not develop separately from relationships and the environments we live in. Relational and systemic patterns can therefore also become part of treatment.
At Huis voor Bewustzijn, we aim to combine high-quality specialist mental health care with a broader understanding of the person behind the symptoms.
Not because everything needs to be addressed at once, but because psychological difficulties often involve several interconnected layers of our lives.
We do not focus only on reducing individual symptoms. We also explore the patterns and underlying processes that may keep difficulties going, so treatment can support more sustainable change.
Thoughts, emotions and physical responses continually influence one another. Where relevant, we include this connection in treatment.
Change is not created by a treatment method alone. The relationship between client and clinician is also an important part of therapy.
We are not limited to a single therapeutic school. We consider which approach best fits your difficulties, needs and treatment goals.
During the intake process, we match you with a clinician who can provide treatment in English and fits your needs.
