Therapy in English, in the city you moved to
No insurance referral, no waiting list, no doing this in your second language.
Amsterdam is one of the easiest cities on earth to live in without Dutch — which is exactly why so many people here have never had to be unhappy in it.

Therapists who work in English
Some are in Amsterdam, some aren't. Sessions are online, so it's the person that matters, not the postcode.

Why it matters here
A city that runs in English, until it doesn't
Half of Amsterdam seems to run in English, and you can go years without needing more Dutch than the supermarket demands. It catches up with you in the therapist's chair: the English-speaking practices are booked solid, and the feeling you came to talk about was never stored in Dutch anyway. Online, you choose from everyone working in English — not the two with a gap in the Jordaan — and meet from home.
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.
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.
You don't need a diagnosis to start
Most people who begin therapy have no idea what to call the thing they want to talk about. Finding out is part of it.
Reading
Written by the therapists themselves
Articles about anxiety, sleep, grief, burnout and the rest of it — written by the people you can book a session with.
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
Are there English-speaking therapists in Amsterdam specifically?
Some, and others elsewhere who work in English online. Both are here; the question is which is right for you.
Can I use this while I wait for a spot?
Yes. Many do, and nothing here requires giving up a place you've waited for.
Do I need Dutch insurance?
No — you arrange directly, nothing through the zorgverzekering.
Start in your own language
Read the profiles, take your time, and choose someone you can talk to properly. No zorgverzekering, no referral, and no Dutch required at any point.
