Our coaches
Every coach on Gedachten Makelaar is manually screened. We verify qualifications, certifications and work experience before anyone appears on the platform.
Our practitioners support people across a wide range of topics: tension and stress, feelings of unease or low mood, grief, struggles around eating, self-confidence and personal growth. For clinical care or a diagnosis we refer on to the GGZ.

Music therapy
Music therapy is a recognised form of vaktherapie in which music is consciously used to support emotional and social processes.
Through listening, singing or playing together, music reaches layers within us that words sometimes cannot reach. A meaningful support through grief, difficult emotions, life questions and struggles around eating.
No musical experience needed. The music does the work.

FAQ
Yes. Your conversations are confidential: only you and your professional can read your chat back. The team only looks in when that is needed for quality, safety or a complaint. Video sessions are not recorded.
Music therapy uses music purposefully to support emotional and mental wellbeing. By working actively or receptively with music, you learn to recognise and regulate emotions and find new ways to express yourself. More on the music therapy page.
Therapists are verified by diploma and registration with their professional association (such as NVvMT or FVB). For music therapy we check the training and, once someone is registered, the registration. Coaches are selected on experience and motivation.
You buy credits in advance (1 credit = €1) via iDEAL or credit card. During a chat or voice session, credits are deducted per minute. For video sessions you pay the fixed €95 upfront.
No problem. For chat and voice, click "End session"; you only pay for the minutes used. For video sessions, the price is fixed (€95 for 45 min); ending early does not refund.
Yes, at any time and without explaining. You pay per minute or per session, so you are never locked in. Many people start with a coach and later switch to a therapist or music therapist. Where needed we refer you on, also to regular care.
Yes. On the profile you can schedule a follow-up session. Continuity matters and we make it easy.
The web app works fully in the browser on phone, tablet and computer, no download needed. A native app is in development.
