Rates and cost
What does a company psychologist cost?
Single sessions, full programmes or a subscription: costs vary widely. Here are the usual figures and what to watch for when comparing.
Quick answer
What does a company psychologist cost on average?
Single sessions with a company psychologist usually cost 120 to 180 euro per hour. A complete programme quickly reaches 1,000 to 2,500 euro per employee. MentalCareDirect™ instead works with a fixed monthly amount per participating employee, including the quarterly measurement, coaching and treatment.

- No personal excess for the employee
Why single sessions work out more expensive
With single sessions you only pay once something is already wrong. By then complaints are usually further along and more is needed.
You also often pay separately for intake, reporting and coordination, and you are still bound by the provider's waiting times.
What makes a subscription different
A subscription bundles the quarterly measurement, coaching and treatment. You only pay for employees who actually take part.
That makes costs predictable and moves budget from repair to prevention, where the same amount achieves more.
Weighing cost against dropout
A single long-term absence caused by mental health complaints quickly costs an employer tens of thousands of euros in continued pay, replacement and lost productivity.
So do not only compare price per employee, but the chance that it prevents one dropout. See the rate indication for current figures.
