Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about my offers and working methods.
A consultation usually begins with a non-binding initial telephone conversation where we briefly discuss your concerns. We clarify what topics are on your mind and what support you are looking for.
In the first personal meeting, we figure out together how we can specifically address your personal or professional challenges.
Depending on your needs, I will explain the various options from my range of services, and we will choose the methods that suit you best – always at your pace and tailored to your needs.
Psychological counseling focuses on coping with specific life problems, conflicts, or crises and is often shorter-term. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, treats either mental illnesses with clinical significance or problems that burden daily life more severely or acutely.
However, psychotherapy can also be helpful support for severe conflicts, questions of meaning in life, self-worth issues, or persistently recurring themes, because it can resolve deeper problem patterns.
Both approaches can overlap or complement each other meaningfully, and we clarify in the initial consultation what is appropriate and desired for you.
A session typically lasts 60 minutes. The frequency of sessions depends on your needs, pace of development, and goals. We discuss this individually.
The costs for psychological counseling and psychotherapy are generally not covered by health insurance, as these services are provided by an alternative practitioner for psychotherapy.
As an alternative practitioner for psychotherapy, I work within the legally defined scope of competence and am well-networked with doctors and psychological psychotherapists to offer you the most comprehensive support possible – including referrals to appropriate specialists when necessary.
The costs for my services are therefore usually borne by you. I am happy to advise you on the various cost regulations and payment modalities.
As a self-payer, you benefit from greater flexibility and independence in choosing consultation topics and the frequency of sessions. You are not bound by the requirements of a health insurance company, allowing you to tailor the therapy entirely to your individual needs.
Furthermore, no professional or health records are created in the insurance files, ensuring discretion and anonymity.
Depending on availability and urgency, I can usually offer you an initial appointment within one to two weeks.
If you need immediate help, we can also schedule an emergency consultation or intensive coaching to ensure prompt support.
Yes, I offer online counseling, online training, as well as online therapy.
These sessions take place via video call or telephone, so you can conveniently participate from home.
Online counseling is particularly suitable for people who travel frequently for work or live in remote areas. The online formats offer the same qualitative and effective framework as in-person sessions.
