Psyned

What Psyned does

Psyned BV is a Netherlands-based mental healthcare platform founded in 2009 and headquartered in Amsterdam, operating as an independent provider outside the Dutch health insurance system. The company runs a two-sided network connecting more than 300 psychologists, 100 relationship therapists, and 10 orthopedagogues with individual and employer-funded clients across 247 physical locations spanning all 12 Dutch provinces plus nationwide online therapy delivered in 23 languages. Its core product is a personalized matching service that pairs clients with therapists based on condition, location, language, and preferences, supported by a free 15-minute advice call, the Klikgarantie (match guarantee), self-assessment tools (zelftesten), and evidence-based modalities including CGT, ACT, EMDR, mindfulness, and schema therapy.

The technology stack is built around a web-based booking and matching platform with secure video consultation, integrations with Calendly for scheduling, Stripe for payments, Segment and Google Analytics for marketing analytics, and Enormail for email. The platform is held to ISO 9001, ISO 27001, NEN 7510, and HKZ GGZ certifications and complies with AVG/GDPR, WGBO, and Wkkgz. There is no disclosed use of proprietary AI/ML; the matching function is described as rule-based filtering.

Psyned makes money through per-session fees paid by individual clients (€133 standard, €199.50 long, €161-€241.50 couples therapy) and through B2B employer contracts covering employee treatment, the MindMatters prevention program, training, and driegesprek (three-way return-to-work sessions). Since 2009, the company states it has helped more than 50,000 people, with 15,000+ helped in 2024 alone and 65,000+ sessions delivered in 2023. More than 1,600 employer organizations use the platform, including Belastingdienst, Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep, Gemeente Amsterdam, Manpower, and Holland & Barrett. The company remains privately held by its founders with no disclosed external funding.

Revenue model

1. Individual Client Sessions: Psyned charges clients per therapy session. Standard consultation is €133 per session; longer appointments are €199.50. Couples/relationship therapy costs €161 for a 45-minute session and €241.50 for a longer session. Evening sessions may incur a €25 surcharge. Treatment is self-funded as Psyned does not contract with Dutch health insurers; supplemental insurance may reimburse a portion.
2. Employer-funded Employee Treatment: Psyned offers employer packages where organizations fund psychological treatment for their employees. This is a B2B revenue stream where Psyned invoices the employer (or a contracted arrangement) for treatment sessions. More than 1,600 employers use this model.
3. Employer Services (MindMatters, Training, Driegesprek): Psyned sells preventive programs (MindMatters), workplace training, and 'driegesprek' (three-party session involving employer, employee, and therapist) to employer clients, adding recurring B2B revenue beyond per-session treatment fees.

• OpenUp: Amsterdam-based mental health platform offering online sessions, EAP-style employer packages, and self-serve access across multiple European countries. Closely comparable in product, employer GTM motion, and independent-from-insurer positioning to Psyned.
• iPractice: Dutch online psychology platform that provides video-session therapy with a personal matching process and integrates with Dutch health insurers. Directly comparable in market, customer base, and online therapy product to Psyned's Netherlands offering.
• Mentaal Beter: One of the largest GGZ-contracted mental health provider networks in the Netherlands offering online and in-person treatment. Comparable to Psyned in clinical offerings but competes via the insured/contracted care model Psyned has deliberately avoided.
• 1nP: Dutch online psychology network operating a platform for matching clients with vetted psychologists and providing therapy through video sessions. Directly comparable in Netherlands e-mental health model.

Others

• NIP (Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen): Dutch professional association for psychologists whose affiliated membership credential is required by Psyned's network. Comparable as ecosystem/credentialing participant rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Lyra Health: US-based mental health benefits platform for employers offering therapy, coaching, and EAP-style services. Comparable in dedicated employer-channel mental health model targeting large enterprise accounts.
• BetterHelp (Teladoc): Global consumer-direct teletherapy platform owned by Teladoc Health, the largest online therapy subscription service. Provides a broad benchmark for global online talk-therapy platform economics comparable to Psyned's online therapy offering.

Comparable as competing delivery networks for mental health services in the Netherlands though Psyned differentiates by being non-contracted.
