Self-Pay
Gestalt therapy, as a branch of psychotherapy, is not covered by statutory health insurance. You are responsible for the costs of Gestalt therapy and counseling, or your private health insurance may cover them. Under certain circumstances, these costs may be tax-deductible. Please consult your tax advisor regarding this matter.
This also has distinct advantages for you:
-
Therapy can begin quickly, without long waiting periods or application procedures with the health insurance provider
-
A mental illness according to the diagnostic criteria of ICD-10 and DSM-V is not strictly required
-
As a client, you determine the number and frequency of sessions,
-
The sessions can be individually tailored in terms of timing and content and precisely adapted to your needs
-
No one receives sensitive data that could affect your ability to obtain insurance
Reduced hourly rates
* If you are a student, in vocational training, or over 65 years of age, you will receive the reduced hourly rate (upon presentation of proof). *
** If your current financial situation prevents you from paying my standard hourly rates, please contact me regarding available subsidized slots. Together, we will find an hourly rate that does not place an undue financial burden on you, nor undervalue my time and work. **
Cancellation/No-Show
For sessions canceled at very short notice (< 24 hours) or missed sessions, I reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee (equal to the applicable rate).
Time Frame
It is recommended not to schedule the session(s) too tightly into your daily routine, but rather to allow some time before and after. This allows the session to have a lasting impact and unfold its effects more effectively.
Office Hours
By individual arrangement.
Session proceedings
Initial Consultation
During our first session, I’ll get to know you and your concerns. I’ll explain my approach to counseling and address any questions or reservations you may have.
If you are interested in continuing with coaching afterward, we will schedule 4–5 trial sessions during which I will focus on your concerns and you will get a taste of my working style and interventions.
In the final session, we will assess together whether we have established a productive working relationship and would like to continue working together. If not, I’ll be happy to help you find a coach who’s a better fit for you.
Regular Sessions
In our regular sessions, you can either bring up a current issue, or we’ll work—right here and now—on whatever comes up and needs to be addressed.
Self-determination
After approximately 5 to 6 sessions, we will reflect together on the impact the coaching has had on your experience and behavior and decide whether to continue the coaching or if you would like to continue on your own for the time being.
It is very important to me to support you with your issues and to guide you back into an active and self-responsible role. Long-term support or “open-ended” dependencies/delegation of responsibilities are therefore not my intention.
Confidentiality
Your data, as well as all information and content from the counseling and coaching sessions, will be treated as strictly confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties. I am bound by the duty of confidentiality under Section 203 of the German Criminal Code (StGB).
