How it works
The initial consultation and any further introductory meetings are first of all an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We begin to explore your difficulties and their possible connections with your life history, relationships and current circumstances. Equally important is whether you can imagine working with me in therapy, whether I also feel that we could work together, and whether one of the treatments I offer is suitable for your concerns. If treatment is to begin, the necessary steps are taken in the following sessions and, where applicable, an application is made for the costs to be covered.
Covering the costs
Private health insurance and Beihilfe
Beihilfe is an allowance from German public employers towards eligible healthcare costs for civil servants and certain other entitled groups. The extent to which psychotherapy costs are reimbursed depends on your individual insurance plan and the applicable Beihilfe rules. It is therefore advisable to clarify your individual reimbursement terms before treatment begins. Fees are charged in accordance with the German fee schedule for psychological psychotherapists (GOP).
Statutory health insurance
The costs of psychotherapeutic treatment are covered by statutory health insurance. Counselling is not covered.
Self-funded treatment
You can also choose to pay for treatment yourself.
