Denmark subsidises psychologist treatment through a national agreement. The regions' pay and tariff board makes it with the Danish Psychological Association. The agreement fixes the fees. Only a psychologist who has joined the agreement, and holds a ydernummer, can work under it.
The number of ydernummer places is set by negotiation. Reaching the scheme takes a referral from a person's own doctor. The region pays the fee in full for people aged eighteen to twenty-four. That applies where the referral is for depression or anxiety.
Seeing a psychiatrist is free, again on a doctor's referral.

Who is allowed to practise
In Denmark the title to look for is the authorised psychologist. Authorisation is granted by the Psychologists Board after a period of supervised practical training that follows the degree, so it marks a stage reached rather than a qualification described.
The board keeps the authorisation register, which means a Danish listing claiming authorised status can be settled rather than taken on trust. You can check a psychologist on the Danish authorisation register. Since January 2026 authorisation in Denmark rests on the Danish psychology examination and no longer certifies practical training, which carries its own title, psykolog med praksisuddannelse.
Ask whether a listing means that authorisation or the older use of the word psykolog.
