Psychotherapy
Services
I am offering Individual Therapy, Couple Therapy and Coaching in English.
Individual Therapy
Generally, there are two occasions why people seek therapy: either you are finding yourself in an acute crisis and wish for support in surmounting it, or you are already thinking about a specific topic in your life for quite some time and decide that now you are ready to take a look at it.
Couple Therapy
Similar to individual therapy this can be an acute crisis or some sort of lingering conflict, ambiguity or loss of perspective, that you would like to look at together.
Coaching
With coaching, you have a specific, clearly defined topic or problem from on area of life (for example private or occupational), in which I can offer you support in finding new ways to handle that challenge.
Topics
The topics in therapy can either be grounded in a clinical diagnosis or common topics - or both.
Disorders
Based on my previous experiences with inpatients, outpatients and private practice I am offering treatment for the following clinical diagnoses:
- depression
- anxiety disorders
- obsessive-compulsive disorders
- addictions
- AD(H)D
- trauma
- adjustment disorder
- personality disorder
- psychotic disorder
In case a specific disorder or diagnosis is not listed here, you can ask me anytime.
Topics
Often there are recurrent topics in the lives of people that may or may not be grounded in clinical diagnoses, such as:
- communication: learning to set boundaries and convey needs
- conflicts: learning to manage conflicts, arguments or fights
- emotions: learning to feel emotions and regulate them
- relationships: learning to live in relationships long-term

The path to Therapy
In a private practice for psychotherapy there are multiple ways to begin therapy:
Private Health Insurance / Beihilfe
Generally the first couple of sessions ("Probatorik"), most often up to five, will be covered by the private insurance. However, there are individual differences between every private insurance, so you would have to verify with your insurance first. This is also the case of the insurance of public servants ("Beihilfe").
Direct Payer
As a private patient you are paying the fees for therapy yourself. The exact costs can be agreed upon on an individual basis.
The first get-to-know meeting is free of charge if we decide not to work together.
Statutory Health Insurance
As I do not have a "Kassensitz", meaning the ability to directly bill the statutory health insurances, I can only offer therapy with the "Kostenerstattungsverfahren" according to §13.3 SGB V. This means, that after searching fruitlessly for a therapy with Psychotherapists who have a "Kassensitz", you can demand that the insurance bear the expanses of the treatment.
National Health Insurance
The national health insurance of the "Bundeswehr" is called "Freie Heilfürsorge". After talking to your doctor ("Truppenarzt"), you make an appointment with me and bring with you the Sanitätsvordruck "Kostenübernahmeerklärung" (San/Bw/0218). Generally, all costs are covered by your insurance.
As a member of the police you can directly make an appointment with me. Generally, all costs are covered by your insurance.
Cancellation and fees
Cancellation
As all appointments in the practice are planned and can often not be allocated to patients short-term, I ask you to cancel any appointments up to 48 hours beforehand. This is also the case for the first get-to-know meeting.
Fees
I will have to charge you 50,00 EUR for a missed appointment.
Do you have any questions?
The search for a therapy can be often overwhelming, especially when done in a foreign language. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
