The team

Cogninova is run by psychologists who work in mental health care every day and wanted a way to reach people who are still on a waiting list.

Enrico Pischedda

Master psychologist

I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees in Clinical Health Sciences from the University of Amsterdam and currently work as a psychologist at HSK Groep. Driven by my passion for group dynamics and the desire to shorten waiting times in mental health care, I founded Cogninova.

With this initiative, I focus on innovative and efficient forms of care that better meet the needs of clients.

I'm Isabel, and I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology and my master's degree in Forensic Psychology and Victimology from the University of Groningen. Over the past few years, I've gained experience in forensic care, where I worked with a wide range of complex cases.

I currently work as a psychologist at HSK Groep, where I focus on regular clients and on further developing mental health care.

Cogninova's vision

The concept: Cogninova is an innovative coaching practice that breaks with the traditional one-on-one approach. We focus on the power of group dynamics and autonomy. We believe that recognition, shared experiences, and a holistic approach (mental and physical) significantly speed up the recovery process for depression.
The problem: Long waiting lists in mental health care, high costs for individual treatment programs, and increasing loneliness related to mental health issues.
The solution: High-quality online group treatments supported by an extensive e-learning platform and an ecosystem of wellbeing (sports, nutrition, meditation, and more).
Goal: Making mental health care scalable and activating clients through a results-focused community.
