What HTC Collegare does

HTC Collegare is a Dutch private haptotherapy practice and training center headquartered in Heeze, Netherlands, with additional locations in Helmond/Brandevoort and Eindhoven/Meerhoven. Founded by Frank Mandos in 1996 (the legal entity HTC Collegare was established around 2017), the company delivers individual haptotherapy treatments, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT/MBSR), Acceptance Commitment Therapy, schema therapy, and a proprietary "Watermovement-vibes" method using a music waterbed. It serves adults and children with mental health and psychosomatic complaints, including burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems, as well as pelvic dysfunction in collaboration with a specialist physiotherapist.

The company's service mix spans three integrated lines: (1) GZ-Haptotherapie individual treatments in practice locations embedded in multidisciplinary health centers, (2) Trainingscentrum Collegare, a training program offering workshops for healthcare professionals, educators, and corporate clients (with courses such as the two-day Vitaliteitstraining at €595 and MBCT at €296), and (3) the "Affection a Mundial" sub-brand, which delivers multi-day vitality retreats domestically and internationally (U-Center Driebergen in the Netherlands; Seefeld/Austria and Ibiza/Spain). The team comprises six credentialed practitioners, including the founder, five GZ-Haptotherapeuts, a dramatherapist/psychologist in training, and an operations manager.

HTC Collegare operates on a fee-for-service professional services model with per-session and per-training unit pricing (€105 per therapy hour, €90 per supervision hour). Revenue is largely long-tail individual therapy supplemented by enterprise training contracts and corporate vitality programs. The practice holds the VVH GZ Haptotherapie quality mark, enabling partial insurance reimbursement under complementary medicine packages, and is GDPR-compliant with 15-year medical record retention. The company is privately held by Frank Mandos with no external funding or institutional shareholders.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Calm: Global consumer and corporate mindfulness and mental wellness brand competing directly in the employer vitality and mindfulness segment that HTC Collegare's Affection a Mundial and MBCT training address. Demonstrates the digital scale the Dutch practice cannot match.
• BetterHelp: Large online therapy platform addressing overlapping mental-health indications (stress, anxiety, depression, burnout) that HTC Collegare's individual haptotherapy and mindfulness practices cover. Represents the digital-first delivery model competing for the same Dutch and European consumer.
• Lyra Health: US-based corporate mental health platform providing in-person and virtual therapy, coaching, and mindfulness to employer-sponsored workforces. Comparable corporate-vitality buyer profile and overlapping indications (burnout, anxiety), serving as a scaled template for HTC Collegare's corporate training ambitions.
• Headspace Health: Global mindfulness, meditation, and mental health leader serving consumers and employers with a digital platform plus clinical care offering. Operates at vastly greater scale on the same underlying mindfulness/vitality methodology that HTC Collegare delivers in-person via MBCT and ACT-trained practitioners.

Direct peers

• Mindler: European digital mental health provider with a strong Dutch presence, offering structured therapy programs via online psychologists. Operates in overlapping indications (anxiety, depression, burnout) addressed by HTC Collegare and competes for the same insured and corporate-sponsored patient base.
• iPractice: Dutch psychology practice delivering evidence-based online therapy (CBT, ACT, EMDR) for the same mental-wellness indications HTC Collegare covers — burnout, anxiety, depression, relationship issues. Closely comparable business model: licensed practitioners serving Dutch self-pay and insurer-reimbursed clients.
• OpenUp: Amsterdam-founded corporate mental wellness platform serving Dutch and European employers with online psychologists, mindfulness, and yoga. Targets the same employer-buyer segment as HTC Collegare's corporate vitality training, but delivers via digital channels rather than in-person practice.
• Soffos: Dutch e-learning and training provider focused on professional mindfulness, stress management, and vitality programs for healthcare and corporate clients. Closely matches Trainingscentrum Collegare's B2B training offering and competes for the same professional-development and corporate-wellness buyer segments.

Others

• Vereniging van Haptotherapeuten (VVH): Dutch professional association for GZ-Haptotherapists of which HTC Collegare is a member (Frank Mandos: VVH number 380-A). Not a competitor but the industry-standards, quality-mark issuer, and referral-network hub that underpins the haptotherapy category in which the company operates.

Emerging players

• U-Center: Dutch specialty mental health clinic (bio-psychosocial treatment model) and HTC Collegare's existing training partner. Operates in an adjacent treatment segment (clinical GGZ) and shares clientele, but delivers residential treatment rather than haptotherapy and only partially overlaps on the vitality-training curriculum.
