Your employer may be able to reimburse you for your counselling at Hartmonie
Reimbursement via your employer may be possible if your organisation has a budget for health and wellbeing or sustainable employability.
More and more employers are investing in the mental health, wellbeing and long-term employability of their staff. Organisations sometimes make a personal budget available for this purpose.
Do you have a budget for vitality, wellbeing or sustainable employability through your employer? If so, you may be able to have (part of) your individual coaching at Hartmonie reimbursed from this budget.
This can give you the flexibility not just to consider a one-off session, but to build up the support gradually and tailor it to what you actually need.
Ask your employer, line manager or HR department what opportunities are available within your organisation.
When can counselling be helpful?
Sometimes you find that you’re no longer able to recover naturally from the demands of your life or work. Perhaps you carry on, even though your body or emotions are sending increasingly clear signals that it’s all becoming too much.
Individual support can, for example, be helpful in the following situations:
- prolonged stress or mental overload;
- impending burnout or recovery following a period of absence;
- anxiety and panic symptoms;
- life-changing events;
- traumatic experiences;
- inappropriate behaviour;
- difficulty relaxing, sleeping or letting go.
At Hartmonie, the support provided focuses on your health and recovery.
Even when your employer covers the costs, you are – and will always be – the focus.
Personalised support with a broad perspective
My motto is: attention makes all the difference.
By being fully present and listening carefully to what you say, as well as to what lies beneath the surface, we create space to explore together what will be helpful. Sometimes it turns out that the initial request for help is only part of the story. This leads to support that is tailored to you as a person, rather than just to the problem itself.
Drawing on my background in healthcare, I combine my knowledge of the body, the nervous system and emotional processes. This enables me to provide support at the level of thoughts, emotions and the body, with a focus on recovery, regulation and lasting change.
What might the support involve?
Depending on the nature of your request for help, I can make use of, amongst other things:
- EMDR;
- hypnotherapy;
- body-centred counselling;
- relaxation and regulation of the nervous system;
- sound as an aid to relaxation and body-oriented regulation.
Experience in the healthcare sector
With over 20 years’ experience as a BIG-registered nurse, including in oncology, haematology and community nursing, I have extensive experience in supporting people during vulnerable and life-changing periods in their lives.
Die achtergrond helpt mij om complexe situaties te begrijpen en begeleiding te bieden vanuit zowel professionele kennis als menselijke aandacht. Ik weet hoe belangrijk veiligheid, vertrouwen en goede afstemming zijn wanneer iemand kwetsbaar is.
I combine my background in healthcare with training in EMDR and hypnotherapy. This enables me to work not only with thoughts and emotions, but also with the body’s and nervous system’s automatic responses.
That can actually be valuable when you realise that Talking alone is not enough to bring about change.
How does reimbursement through your employer work?
Employers may choose to reimburse the cost of individual support for staff. This could be funded, for example, from a budget set aside for vitality, mental health, wellbeing or sustainable employability.
The options available and the conditions that apply vary from organisation to organisation. You should therefore check with your line manager or HR department to see if there is a budget available for you.
You’ll follow your own personalised programme.
The support is tailored to your individual needs and what you require.
Your privacy is guaranteed.
What is discussed during the sessions remains between you and Hartmonie. Your employer will not receive any details about your treatment.
Your employer may reimburse the costs
If your employer agrees to this, the practical arrangements and invoicing can be sorted out with the organisation.

You can copy the text below and send it to your line manager or HR department:
Geachte heer/mevrouw,

Within organisations, budgets or schemes are sometimes available for areas such as wellbeing, mental health and sustainable employability.
I would like to enquire whether there is a budget or scheme available within our organisation that I could use to cover the cost of this support.
