Esther Haaijema
I am a psychotherapist with over ten years of experience, mainly working with clients with personality disorders. I founded PsyGlobal to help reduce unnecessary waiting times in mental health care by combining clients’ needs, scientific research, and my background in humanitarian aid.
Baer Jonkers
I have worked in mental health care for over 15 years, initially as a practising psychologist and later in management and leadership roles. Together with Esther, I founded PsyGlobal to create meaningful employment opportunities for mental health professionals while improving access to care in people’s own language and cultural context.

Ksusha Skrypkar
I’m happy to work at PsyGlobal and to be part of a team with a strong mission and values. In my role, I support psychologists in integrating into the Dutch mental health system. It is especially meaningful for me to see psychologists successfully pass interviews and secure positions, knowing their work can truly change someone’s life.
