Welcome to Psychology Practice Welter
Most people experience periods of sadness, worry, anxiety, or self-doubt at times. Often, these challenges can be managed on your own or with the support of family and friends. When difficulties persist or start to interfere with daily life, however, structured guidance can help you regain balance and move forward with confidence.
Psychology Practice Welter is an independent outpatient practice providing General Basic Mental Healthcare (Generalistische Basis GGZ), located in the heart of Maastricht. The practice offers personalized, goal-oriented, and short-term therapy for adults (18 years and older) experiencing mild to moderate mental health conditions.
For 2026, contracts have been signed with all Dutch health insurers. With a valid referral letter from your doctor, treatment is fully covered by your basic health insurance, taking into account your annual deductible (eigen risico).

Licensed Healthcare Psychologist (Gz-psycholoog BIG)
Therapy
My way of working is aimed at giving you insight into your thoughts, feelings and behavior. With attention to possible negative causes from the past, but mainly focused on what hinders you in the here and now and how to deal with this differently. The conversations are insightful and motivating in nature with a goal-oriented and practical approach.
To make treatment personal and tailor-made, I combine elements from different forms of therapy, with cognitive behavioral therapy serving as the basic therapy of the treatment. Other forms of therapy that I can add to this, depending on the complaint and request for help, are: solution-oriented therapy, schema therapy, Mindfulness, ACT and EMDR. In addition to face-to-face conversations, I also offer support via online e-health modules via Therapieland or an exclusively online process is possible.
Possible goals within the treatment are:
suffer less from fear and panic, such as the fear of a negative judgement, the fear of failure or making a mistake, fear that things will go terribly wrong or the fear of having a panic attack
more control over your thoughts and feelings, less worrying and better emotion regulation
suffer less from physical complaints (chronic pain and/or fatigue)
experience less sadness and can enjoy life more
processing negative and/or traumatic events in the past

About me
I followed basic training as a psychologist in Maastricht and later the postdoctoral training as a Healthcare Psychologist (Gz) psychologist in Amsterdam. Before I started my own practice in Amsterdam, I worked for years in various independent psychotherapy practices where the focus was often on anxiety and mood problems. I have also worked in various rehabilitation centers with people with unexplained physical complaints with chronic pain and fatigue. As a native of Maastricht, I have decided to move back to the south and continue my practice here.
Important values for me in therapy are: feeling recognized and heard, coming to a request for help and a solution together and working on this in a constructive way. My way of working is characterized by calm, understanding, research and interpretation. By exploring the core problem with attention to processing and letting go of dysfunctional patterns where necessary, regain focus and get a grip on the positive side of life.

Treatment
The Treatment Process: Step by Step
1. Referral Letter
To have your treatment reimbursed through Dutch basic insurance, you need a valid referral letter from a medical doctor (such as your GP, occupational physician, or medical specialist). The letter must be dated on or before your first appointment (maximum 9 months old), include the doctor’s professional AGB code, state a suspected DSM-5 condition, and explicitly specify a referral to General Basic Mental Healthcare (GB-GGZ).
2. Registration and Intake Appointment
Referrals are accepted securely via digital referral systems (such as ZorgDomein or TIPP) or by email at info@psychologiepraktijkwelter.nl (please avoid sending sensitive health information over unencrypted email). Once your referral is confirmed, your intake session is scheduled and you will receive login details for your personal client portal in Praktijkdata.
3. Assessment and Treatment Planning
The diagnostic phase consists of one or two intake interviews, supported by the SQ-48 baseline questionnaire and the mandatory care classification (HoNOS+). Treatment indications are regularly reviewed within an accredited peer supervision network. Together, we establish a personalized treatment plan with clear goals. Basic GGZ treatments typically range between 6 to 8 sessions (up to a maximum of 10 to 12 sessions) of 60 minutes each, usually held every two weeks. Therapy starts after your digital approval of the plan.
4. Progress Review and conclusion
We check in on your progress throughout treatment. Before the final session, you complete the SQ-48 outcome questionnaire via the portal. In our concluding meeting, we evaluate your results and discuss the main points of the discharge letter for your GP. You can then fill out the independent CQi client satisfaction questionnaire online, after which the discharge report is sent to your doctor.
Temporary Absence Coverage:
During planned leave or sick leave, emergency coverage is arranged with trusted licensed colleague psychologists. Protocols for unexpected practice closure adhere to LVVP professional standards.
Fees and coverage
Contracted Care:
Psychology Practice Welter holds contracts with all Dutch health insurers for 2026. Claims for insured basic mental healthcare (including intake and treatment consultations) are billed directly to your insurance company. The statutory annual deductible (€385 in 2026, unless voluntarily increased) applies. Consultations taking place in a new calendar year count toward that specific year’s deductible.
Healthcare Performance Model (ZPM):
Care is billed according to the Dutch Healthcare Performance Model (Zpm) and the principle of ‘planning is realization’: the scheduled time determines billing unless actual duration differs by 15 minutes or more.
Statutory maximum rates for 2026 set by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa) (Outpatient Quality Statute Section II, Gz-psychologist):
- Diagnostic consultation (60 minutes): € 200.99
- Treatment consultation (60 minutes): € 177.89
(For a complete overview: see the NZa Rate Finder at zorgprestatiemodel.nza.nl).
Self-Funding (Without Referral):
If you consciously choose to self-fund therapy without a referral or insurance claim, a fixed private rate of € 172.20 per 60-minute session applies. Invoices are billed directly to the client.
Uninsured Healthcare (Non-Basic Package Care):
If criteria for a DSM disorder are not met, or for legally excluded conditions (such as adjustment disorders / ‘burn-out’, relationship problems, or isolated specific phobias):
- Service: Non-basic package care consultation (OVP)
- Rate 2026: € 146.00 per 60-minute consultation (based on the statutory rate of € 36.50 per 15 minutes). This is billed directly to the client and cannot be reimbursed by insurance.
