Your Dutch is good enough to get by. That isn't the same thing.
Therapy in English, online, wherever in the Netherlands you live. No referral, no waiting list.
Almost everyone here speaks English, which makes it easy to never quite need Dutch — until you're trying to describe a panic attack and realise which language it actually lives in.

Why therapy in English
Everyone here speaks English — that's not the same as being understood in it
The Netherlands is one of the easiest places in the world to live in English, which is exactly why so many people never fully settle into Dutch. That's fine for work and admin. It's harder when you sit down to talk about shame, or grief, or the thing that happened when you were nine — feelings that were laid down in your first language and don't translate cleanly.
Therapy is difficult enough without doing it at a remove from yourself. In English you can be imprecise, circle back, trail off — the things people actually do when they tell the truth. And practically: an English-speaking practice with an opening is hard to find locally. Online, that constraint mostly disappears.
What we work with
What brings people here
Loneliness and isolation
When your social life is made entirely of colleagues, and everyone who knew you before is in another time zone.
Anxiety and chronic stress
Visas, contracts, rent, the low hum of living somewhere you could be asked to leave.
Depression and flatness
Especially the kind that is hard to name, because on paper the move worked.
Identity and belonging
Caught between where you're from and where you live, between who you were and whoever this is now.
Relationships and family
Including the strain of having moved together — or of having moved without them.
Homesickness and grief
For people, for a former life, for the version of yourself that existed before you left.
This is not a complete list. If you're struggling with something that isn't here, get in touch anyway. Therapy begins with you, not with a category — and it doesn't require you to have found the right word for it first.
How it works
Three steps, no doorverwijzing
You read the profiles and choose your own therapist — nobody assigns one, and nothing goes through your huisarts. You pick a time from the hours they have open, in your own time zone. And you meet by video call, from home. No referral, no insurance paperwork, no Dutch required.
About Wefeel
What Wefeel is — and what it isn't
Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.
We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.
Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.
If you need help right now
Wefeel is not a crisis service
If you are thinking about ending your life, or you're afraid of what you might do, please don't wait for an appointment. Emergency services answer at any hour, free of charge, and in English.

Common questions
Do I need Dutch health insurance?
No. You arrange the session directly; nothing goes through your zorgverzekering.
Do I need to speak Dutch?
No — that's the point. Sessions and this whole site are in English.
I'm on a waiting list — can I use this while I wait?
Yes, and many do. Nothing here replaces care you're already getting.
My therapist isn't in the Netherlands. Does it matter?
Sessions are online, so fit matters more than location. Each profile states where they're qualified; ask if it matters for you.
Is it confidential?
Yes, subject to the usual professional limits.
