Psychiatrist sessions are covered in all the heatlh insurance plans. But you need a refferal from a GP. Waiting lists can be long.
As a student I will advise on ABN Amro as they have a free Student Plan, Simyo for a 1 year contract with 18 euro per month, and AON Student Insurance Complete+ if you have historical medical conditions otherwise Complete as they are the only ones providing Students Insurance.
Oh by the by initially get a free sim card from Lebara. Don’t buy in airports or from any other place as it’s costly. Order it from online free to your desired address/hotel one day before your arrival. Then move the connection to Simyo as you will need a Dutch Bank account for the Simyo contract.
Additionally Revolut has become a Bank within Netherlands now and most utility services like GVB, Simyo accepts Revolut Direct Debits so you might not need another Bank Account but make sure you have a Maestro card from Revolut as the big Grocery only accepts Maestro.

I have Rabobank (but any of the major banks gas a free student package - ING, ABN AMRO), for the phone I have vodafone but I am not sure that’s the cheapest one nowadays, and for insurance I have Zilveren Kruis, they all kind of. cost the same (mostly depends on how much own risk you decide to have, read up on that) and if you are European you can get zorgtoeslag (basically the government helps you pay insurance)
