PsyGlobal mediates for 4 types of roles within Dutch organisations
each with its own specific requirements.

Professionals with a relevant and validated WO Master’s degree in psychology are allowed to work in the Netherlands as basic psychologists, under the supervision of a lead clinician, provided they speak English and/or Dutch at least at B2 level and hold a LOGO statement.

Social Worker
For the role of social worker, candidates must have at least a relevant and validated MBO degree (Social Work or similar) and speak English and/or Dutch at a minimum B2 level.
Counselor
A mental health professional may work in the Netherlands as a counselor if they have at least a MBO degree in psychology, mental coaching, or a similar field. The candidate must also speak English and/or Dutch at a minimum B2 level.
The advantages of working with international talent
There is a large, untapped workforce with diverse cultural backgrounds, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Guiding this talent into suitable positions results in:
Beter mental health care
When you can speak about something sensitive, like your mental health, in the language of your heart with someone who understands your perspective, genuine connection and trust develop more quickly.
Lower costs
Reducing the need for interpreters in many cases helps cut treatment costs and makes care more efficient.
Less pressure on current staff & shorter waiting lists
Treating clients from different cultural backgrounds can be complex and time-consuming. Practitioners who share the same language and culture reduce the workload on other staff while simultaneously shortening waiting lists.
Perspective for underutilized talent
Many people trained as psychologists in their home country are eager to work in mental health care in the Netherlands. PsyGlobal helps them find the right opportunities.
