Psychotherapy Fees

 

This information is intended as orientation.

The binding basis for our work together is the individual agreement.

The fee for a psychotherapeutic session unit of 60 minutes is:

Phone session:
€189

Online session:
€189

In-person session in Berlin:
€229

A flexible rescheduling option can be agreed upon on request.

This option allows a one-time appointment change up to 24 hours before the scheduled session.

The surcharge is:

€35 per session unit

Psychotherapeutic treatment primarily aimed at treating mental illnesses or clinically relevant psychological disorders is exempt from German VAT under Section 4 No. 14 of the German VAT Act.

Invoices include an ICD-10 code.

There is no classification according to medical fee schedules or billing systems.

 

 

 

If Working Together Is Financially Challenging

 

I am aware that professional support can be financially challenging for some people.

This can be especially true when anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, or the effects of narcissistic dynamics create significant emotional pressure.

At the same time, my work requires a reliable economic framework.

For this reason, reduced fees currently apply to phone and online sessions.

In addition, you will find an extensive professional media library on my YouTube channels, with impulses, explanations, and orientation.

There is also the option to use the comment function and exchange thoughts with other people affected by similar topics.

Occasionally, I answer questions there, as far as time allows.

Free consultation hours are currently paused.

 

 

 

Appointments

 

The fees listed above apply to appointments from Monday to Thursday between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Berlin time.

For appointments outside these hours, on Fridays, weekends, or public holidays, a surcharge of at least 35% applies.

The minimum duration of a session is 60 minutes.

Longer sessions are billed in half-session units.

 

 

 

Rescheduling and Cancellation Fee

 

Sessions of up to 120 minutes can be rescheduled once up to 72 hours before the appointment.

Working days from Monday to Friday count for this period.

Public holidays are taken into account accordingly.

For sessions longer than 120 minutes and for several connected appointments, longer deadlines apply.

As a rule, rescheduling must take place at least 14 days in advance.

In the event of short-notice cancellation or non-attendance, the agreed fee is charged in full.

Appointments that have already been paid and rescheduled in time can be taken within 12 months.

If more than five appointments are reserved at once, these appointments are binding.

The reason is the additional planning and preparation involved.

If you need more flexibility, please book appointments individually.

If you are unexpectedly unable to attend an in-person appointment, it is often possible to change the session to an online video session.

The binding details are regulated in the individual agreement.

 

 

 

Payment

 

The fee is paid by bank transfer.

Full payment must be received no later than 7 days before the appointment.

For the first session, payment must be received no later than 14 days before the appointment.

In exceptional cases and by prior agreement, payment in cash at the appointment may be possible.

 

 

 

Travel and Additional Costs

 

Travel, accommodation, and other additional costs are billed separately.

These costs are calculated according to time and effort and are paid by the client.

Within Berlin, at least one hourly fee is charged for travel and related time.

The individual agreement applies.

 

 

 

Personal Booking

 

Booked sessions are personal and can be used by the agreed person.

Psychotherapeutic sessions are agreed individually.

 

 

 

Consumer Withdrawal Rights for Private Clients in Germany

 

If a contract with a private client is concluded exclusively by means of distance communication, for example by phone, email, or online form, statutory consumer withdrawal rights for distance contracts may apply.

The withdrawal period is generally 14 days.

If the requested service is to begin expressly before the end of the withdrawal period, the statutory rules for beginning services within the withdrawal period apply.

The specific details are provided in the individual agreement and withdrawal information.
