Questions

Frequently asked

Do you take insurance?

I work as an independent practitioner outside the Dutch insurance system, so sessions aren't covered by your zorgverzekering. The real advantage is immediate access: no GP referral, no waiting lists, and flexible, personalised care that goes beyond what insured treatment typically covers. A sliding scale is available for those who need it.

I've tried everything – can this really help?

Great question! Many of my clients arrive feeling exactly that way. Evidence-based methods like CBT-I work even when nothing else has – let’s talk about your situation.

Are online sessions as effective?

Yes – research shows online CBT-I is as effective as in-person. You also get to practise new skills in your own home, where you actually sleep.

I'm sceptical this will work.

Perfect! Scepticism means you're thinking critically. That's exactly the mindset that does well with an evidence-based approach. Visit the Evidence page to see the research for yourself.
