Psyvel

What Psyvel does

Psyvel is a small-scale, monodisciplinary outpatient mental health clinic (GGZ-instelling) located in Rotterdam-Hillegersberg, Netherlands, serving adults aged 18 and older with mental health conditions including mood disorders (depression, bipolar, dysthymia), anxiety disorders (social phobia, GAD, OCD, panic), personality disorders, and adult ADHD. The practice operates under a dual legal structure of Psyvel B.V. (Dutch private limited company) and Stichting Psyvel (foundation), with approximately 17 staff including two psychiatrists (Paul Veltman and Dr. Manon Gosselink), four GZ-psychologen, multiple psychologists, a psychotherapist, secretariat, and general management. Psyvel has continuously held the Keurmerk Kortdurende GGZ quality mark since its inception and has been twice recognized with the "Gouden Randje" (Golden Edge) award from Stichting KiBG.

The clinic delivers two integrated tiers of care: Gespecialiseerde GGZ (Specialized GGZ) with multi-session intake and longer-term treatment, and Generalistische Basis GGZ with short-term trajectories of 3-10 consultations. Treatment modalities include CBT, EMDR, psycho-education, medication management, group therapy (ADHD psycho-education, ACT), and adult ADHD diagnostics. Psyvel uses a blended treatment model combining face-to-face sessions with the Embloom e-health platform (video consultations, psycho-education, digital questionnaires, exercises such as mindfulness, G-schemas, and emotion regulation work) integrated with the HCI-GGZ Electronic Patient Record, supplemented by Zoom-based video consultations. All treatments are grounded in evidence-based Dutch GGZ standards published on ggzstandaarden.nl, with patient progress tracked via Routine Outcome Measurement (ROM).

The business model operates under the Dutch Zorgprestatiemodel (ZPM) financing system, where only direct consultation time is billable to health insurers and administrative time is bundled into the consultation rate. Psyvel holds contracts with most major Dutch health insurers (Zilveren Kruis/Achmea, VGZ, CZ, DSW, ONVZ, ASR, Zorg&Zekerheid, Caresq, ENO) for both SGGZ and BGGZ services; notably, no contract with Menzis exists for 2026, with Menzis patients treated at NZa tariff rates. Go-to-market is referral-driven via general practitioners, specialists, and POH-GGZ practice nurses, supported by a 20-minute telephone pre-intake and weekly multidisciplinary team review. The company has no external investors, no parent company, and no social media presence, operating as an independent private healthcare practice.

Revenue model

1. Health Insurance Reimbursement (GGZ): Psyvel operates within the Dutch healthcare system where mental health treatments are reimbursed through basic health insurance. The practice has contracts with most major Dutch health insurers (Zilveren Kruis/Achmea, VGZ, CZ, DSW, ONVZ, CZ, ASR, etc.) for both Specialized GGZ (SGGZ) and Generalist Basic GGZ (Basis GGZ). Treatments are reimbursed exclusively when there is a confirmed DSM-V diagnosis. The practice follows the Zorgprestatiemodel (ZPM) financing system where only direct consultation time is billed. Psyvel does not have a contract with Menzis in 2026, but patients can still be treated at NZa tariff rates.

Comparable to Psyvel as a SGGZ provider, but operates at substantially larger scale with broader geographic coverage and more extensive treatment offerings.
• Dimence Groep: Dimence is a Dutch mental health provider offering outpatient and specialized GGZ treatment. Comparable to Psyvel in delivering SGGZ/BGGZ services reimbursed by Dutch health insurers, though with broader service portfolio and multi-location presence.
• Lentis: Lentis is a Dutch GGZ provider in the Northern Netherlands offering both outpatient and specialized mental health care. Comparable to Psyvel in offering BGGZ/SGGZ treatment with health insurance reimbursement, but operates at institutional scale with multiple locations.
• Parnassia Groep: Parnassia Groep is the largest Dutch mental health provider operating across the GGZ spectrum including PsyQ. Comparable to Psyvel in offering SGGZ treatment, but vastly larger with multiple brands, inpatient services, and regional monopolies in several Dutch provinces.

Emerging players

• OpenUp: OpenUp is a Dutch digital mental health platform offering B2B-funded therapy and coaching sessions. Comparable to Psyvel in addressing Dutch adult mental health needs through CBT-informed approaches, though primarily employer-funded and fully digital.
• Mindler: Mindler is a Swedish-Dutch digital mental health platform offering video-based therapy sessions with psychologists. Comparable to Psyvel as a Dutch mental health provider treating anxiety, depression, and related conditions, but operates digitally with a different delivery model.

Direct peers

• PsyQ: PsyQ is a Dutch outpatient mental healthcare provider specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma treatment. Comparable to Psyvel as a SGGZ provider offering similar treatment modalities, blended e-health, and Dutch insurance reimbursement, though operating at significantly larger scale.
• iPractice: iPractice is a Dutch outpatient mental health practice offering psychotherapy and psychological treatment in multiple cities. Comparable to Psyvel as a similar-sized multi-disciplinary GGZ practice serving adult patients with referrals from GPs and health insurers.

Others

• Therapieland: Therapieland is a Dutch e-health platform providing online self-help programs for mental health, used by GGZ institutions. Comparable to Psyvel through the blended care model — Psyvel uses Embloom (similar concept) to extend treatment between sessions with digital psycho-education and exercises.
• Praktijkondersteuner Huisarts-GGZ (POH-GGZ network): POH-GGZ are mental health practice nurses embedded in Dutch GP practices who serve as both gatekeepers and partial treatment providers. Comparable to Psyvel as upstream/downstream partners in the Dutch GGZ referral chain — they are both referrer and potential substitute for mild-to-moderate cases.
