Psychology Practice – Amanda Vannucci Psychology

Amanda Vannucci Psychology is an independent private practice based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, at Spuistraat 249-II, 1012VP. The clinician, Amanda Vannucci, holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC-PYL043923), the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA-PS0137928), and the Nederlandse Instituut van Psychologen (231145). She brings ten years of clinical experience to the practice and conducts all therapy in English.

The therapeutic approach is described as psychodynamic and existential, with a focus on patterns of experience and relational difficulties as they develop over time. The practice works exclusively with adults ages 18 and older. Stated specializations include neurodiversity (autism and ADHD), identity and existential questions, life transitions and grief, depression and persistent low mood, and navigation of cultural identity. Additional areas of focus include relationship difficulties, anxiety, OCD, disordered eating, trauma (including PTSD and complex PTSD), work-related stress, and emotional dysregulation. Couples therapy is not offered, and the practice does not work with acute psychotic disorders or psychiatric emergencies.

Sessions are 50 minutes in length and take place on a weekly or biweekly schedule, depending on individual circumstances and therapeutic goals. Both in-person appointments at the Amsterdam office and online sessions are available. To maintain confidentiality, AI transcription tools are not used in sessions. The therapeutic model is described as open-ended and depth-oriented, without a predetermined number of sessions.

The practice does not accept Dutch health insurance; all sessions are on a self-pay basis. Reduced-rate appointments are available for students and those with financial constraints. No GP referral is required to begin therapy.

The practice’s registrations with three separate professional regulatory bodies reflects the clinician’s cross-national training and licensure history, spanning the United Kingdom, South Africa, and the Netherlands. Therapy is conducted in English. The psychodynamic and existential framework used by the practice focuses on understanding how earlier relational patterns and core questions of meaning shape present experience, rather than primarily targeting specific symptoms through structured protocol-based methods.
