Psychologist for anxiety symptoms without a waiting list

When worries start to dominate your life

Everyone feels tense or nervous at times. However, with anxiety symptoms, that tension takes the upper hand. This includes feelings of panic, worrying, physical restlessness, or avoidance behavior.


Anxiety disorders can severely limit daily functioning — including in the workplace. Employees with anxiety symptoms report sick more often, have difficulty with deadlines, meetings, or social situations, and are less able to perform their work. Timely assistance is therefore crucial.

How do you recognize anxiety symptoms?

Typical signs among employees include:

  • Frequent worrying or “catastrophizing”

  • Concentration problems

  • Avoiding meetings, social situations, or tasks

  • Physical symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or nausea

  • Unexplained absenteeism

Without treatment, anxiety symptoms can worsen or develop into depression or burnout.

🤝 How does a psychologist treat anxiety symptoms?

At Werknemerszorg.nl, we work with experienced BIG-registered psychologists who treat according to the guidelines for anxiety disorders. Treatment is always customized, but usually includes:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): addressing negative thought patterns and avoidance behavior

  • Exposure techniques: learning to deal with anxiety-provoking situations step-by-step

  • Psycho-education: insight into how anxiety works in the body and brain

  • Work-oriented approach: guidance tailored to the position, environment, and work capacity

With us, no referral is required and the intake often starts within 10 working days.

Why do employers choose direct help for anxiety?

✔️ Focused on both return to work and mental recovery
✔️ Insight into both work and private situations
✔️ Clear (GDPR-compliant) feedback to the occupational physician and process information
