GGz Eindhoven Expat Poli

In the recent years, there is a substantial increase in the number of expats that are coming to Eindhoven. This increase reflects itself in our daily practice. Moreover, we observe it is difficult for the referring institutions to find ‘the right place’ for this specific group of patients. The expat group is not sufficiently informed about the mental healthcare services available to them. With our Expat Poli, we are aiming to bridge this gap as well as ensuring the expats are receiving state of the art treatment. For this we are striving to facilitate a good working alliance with referring GPs and other specialists.

Expat Poli is providing outpatient care only and is a department within the main health care provider GGzE, which offers state of the art treatment for people living in Eindhoven and the Kempen. We provide psychological treatment exclusively in English.

Who can benefit from the expat poli?

English speaking expatriate adults (18+) who have (temporarily) moved to the Netherlands due to work, study or relationship and who are suffering from psychological/psychiatric problems.

Our team:

We work in a multidisciplinary team that consists of psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatrists.

Referral to the expat poli

Clients need a referral from their GP.
