de Kanteling afdeling AndersKan

What de Kanteling afdeling AndersKan does

De Kanteling is a multidisciplinary group healthcare practice operating as a division (afdeling) of Anderskan, a Belgian entity (BTW BE 0634.837.680) registered in Tessenderlo, with the practice itself headquartered at Turnhoutsebaan 197a in Wijnegem and a second location on the ReCenter Gezondheidsdomein in Brecht. Founded in 2002 in Schilde by Gerd Claes as a therapeutic practice serving people with disabilities and chronic illness, the practice relocated to Wijnegem in 2018 and now operates two clinical sites in the Antwerp province of Flanders.

The practice delivers a broad service portfolio spanning psychotherapy, psychiatric consultation, psychodiagnostics (intelligence assessment, ASS, ADHD, giftedness), occupational therapy (ergotherapy), career coaching via the Flemish loopbaancheque system, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training, grief counseling, mediation, group programs, and autism coaching (auticoaches), with both verbal and non-verbal modalities including play therapy, art therapy, yoga therapy, sandplay, brainspotting, and walk therapy. The team of 20+ clinicians comprises child and adult psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, an occupational therapist, a yoga therapist, an art therapist, career coaches, and dedicated auticoaches, with several holding formal recognitions from the Psychologencommissie, FOD Gezondheid, and RIZIV. The current leadership team is directed by Luc Claes and includes senior clinical supervisors such as Isabelle Gerets.

The business model is fee-for-service at the therapist level (clients pay €70-€100 per session, with prices rising to €85/hour from April 2025), supplemented by government-subsidized career coaching (€40 per loopbaancheque for four hours), fixed-price group programs (e.g., Mindfulness MBSR at €335), and venue rental of practice rooms to external professionals. Distribution is primarily direct at the two physical sites plus home-based autism coaching, with demand generated through the website intake form, Facebook, and healthcare network referrals. No proprietary technology platform exists; the practice operates on standard SMB web infrastructure with no disclosed AI, app, or API capabilities.

Emerging players

• Mindler: Swedish-founded digital mental health platform with operations in the Netherlands and Belgium. Comparable to de Kanteling in addressing anxiety, depression, and stress via licensed professionals, though delivered through an app-based digital model rather than physical locations.
• OpenUp: Dutch-founded digital mental health platform offering online counseling and webinars, active in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Comparable as a modern mental health delivery model that competes for the same Flemish employee and self-pay segments but with a digital-first model.

Broad incumbents

• CGG Kempen (Centrum Geestelijke Gezondheidszorg Kempen): Publicly subsidized outpatient mental health center operating in the same Kempen/Antwerp province region as de Kanteling. CGG centers provide ambulatory mental health and substance-use treatment that overlaps directly with de Kanteling's psychotherapy and diagnostic services, but with broader population coverage and government funding.
• CAW (Centrum Algemeen Welzijnswerk): Flemish network of welfare centers providing psychosocial support, including counseling and referral, across Flanders. Comparable to de Kanteling in offering non-clinical and semi-clinical mental health and family support services to vulnerable populations.

Direct peers

• TEJO (Therapeuten voor Jongeren): Belgian non-profit offering free, easily accessible therapy for youth (10-20 years) across Flanders. Directly comparable to de Kanteling's youth-focused psychotherapy segment, with overlapping target population and similar therapeutic modalities, though TEJO operates free of charge and relies on volunteer therapists.
• Solentra: Belgian mental health organization specialized in psychological care for refugees, asylum seekers, and people with a migration background. Comparable to de Kanteling in being a Belgian outpatient mental health provider with a distinct social mission and population focus.

Regional players

• iPractice: Netherlands-based network of psychology practices providing accessible, evidence-based mental health care. Comparable business model (multi-location group psychology practice) and similar therapy offerings, though operating primarily across the Dutch border rather than in Belgium.

Others

• Autisme Centraal: Flemish expertise center providing information, training, and guidance around autism spectrum disorders. Highly comparable to de Kanteling given the practice's deep ASS specialization, including dedicated auticoaches and ASS-focused mindfulness groups.
