Based on the intake, we draw up a treatment plan together with the employee. This is based on evidence-based treatment methods and is tailored to the employee. This is partly determined by the multidisciplinary guidelines within mental health care (GGZ) in combination with the employee’s goals.
During every session, we focus on what the employee needs to return to work or remain at work in a healthy manner.

One of the core treatments at Werknemerszorg is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is an evidence-based method for identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to psychological symptoms. Through CBT, employees learn to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful form of therapy specifically designed, among other things, for the treatment of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With EMDR, employees can process traumatic memories and reduce the associated emotional burden. This allows them to recover and regain control over their lives. Nowadays, EMDR is used more broadly, such as in the treatment of symptoms like anxiety, negative self-image, or depression.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of behavioral therapy that helps people deal flexibly with the obstacles they encounter (Acceptance), so they can invest their energy in the things that are truly important to them (Commitment). The goal of ACT is therefore not so much to reduce symptoms, but to develop personal resilience.
Mindfulness is often described as paying conscious attention to the moment, without judgment. This teaches individuals to view negative thoughts and feelings as passing events rather than facts, making it easier to distance themselves from them. Mindfulness helps in recognizing automatic—sometimes unhelpful—patterns. Increased awareness of these patterns leads to greater freedom of choice. Additionally, it provides opportunities to break automatic reactions and respond in a more helpful way.
Schema therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps employees recognize and change persistent patterns in thinking, feeling, and acting. These patterns often originate early in life and can be reactivated during stress or in contact with others. By gaining insight into underlying needs and different aspects of themselves, employees learn to better manage emotions, set boundaries, and make healthier choices. This creates more room for resilience and sustainable functioning, both at work and beyond.
