Mental health support for employers in the Netherlands

Supporting your employees’ mental health is not only a responsibility, but also an investment in sustainable performance. In the Netherlands, employers also have a legal duty to support employees during sickness absence and reintegration.

At the same time, many organisations genuinely want to offer the right support early on, prevent long-term absence, and create a healthy working environment.

Psyned helps you do both by making psychological support accessible, personal, and effective.

Early support makes a difference

Mental health concerns such as stress, burnout, or anxiety often develop gradually. When addressed early, they are usually easier to treat and less likely to lead to long-term absence.

Our approach focuses on timely, accessible care. Employees can quickly speak with a psychologist who fits their situation, often without waiting times.

In many cases, this support can be arranged and funded by the employer. We take care of the matching and coordination, so support can start quickly in a way that works for both the employee and the organisation.

How does it work?

Your employee can get started with us right away, even before an occupational health service or company doctor becomes involved.

    Work as part of recovery

    We believe work plays an important role in recovery. That’s why we encourage employers to stay involved during treatment. This supports reintegration and helps employees return to work in a sustainable way.

Support during absence and reintegration

When an employee is on sick leave, there are clear legal steps to follow under Dutch law, including the Gatekeeper Improvement Act (Wet verbetering poortwachter).

This process can feel complex, especially for international employers who may not be familiar with the Dutch system.

We support both employer and employee throughout this process. We provide psychological care that fits within reintegration plans, while also focusing on both recovery and a sustainable return to work.

Prevention and sustainable employability

Prevention plays an important role in reducing absence and supporting long-term wellbeing. We offer guidance and psychological support aimed at:

  • reducing stress and burnout complaints
  • strengthening resilience
  • improving work-life balance

By supporting mental health early, you help create a healthier organisation and reduce future costs.

Our services for employers

We support organisations at different stages of employee wellbeing and absence, including:

  • psychological support through a company psychologist
  • guidance during reintegration
  • preventive support to reduce stress and burnout

Our services are flexible and tailored to your organisation and employees.

A network of independent therapists

We work with a nationwide network of psychologists and therapists. This allows us to offer care that is:

  • personal
  • flexible
  • quickly available

Employees are matched with a practitioner who fits their needs, background, and preferences, including support in English.

Therapy through your employer

In many cases, employers are willing to contribute to the cost of psychological support. Not only as part of their legal responsibilities, but also because it helps employees stay healthy and sustainable at work.

For employees, this often means quick access to care without the barrier of personal costs. Support can be tailored to both personal and work-related challenges.

Employees can also reach out directly, even if no agreement is in place yet. Together, we explore the available options.

We support both employer and employee throughout the process, from the first contact to the start of treatment, in a way that is clear and manageable for both sides. Personal information is never shared without explicit consent.

For employers and employees

We support employers in meeting their responsibilities and help employees feel better, sooner.

When people receive the right support at the right time, recovery is not only faster, but also more sustainable.
