FAQ

  1. Psychotherapy is a clinical treatment for diagnosed conditions. Psychological counseling is for people who generally manage their daily lives and are looking for focused support. It is a supportive, collaborative process that helps you navigate life more effectively. Please note: psychological counseling is not covered by statutory health insurance. Some private supplementary insurers reimburse counseling by FSP psychologists; please check with your insurer in advance.

  2. A single session lasts either 50 minutes (100€) or 80 minutes (160€). For ongoing support, there are discounted 5-session and 10-session packages. And a free 20-minute initial consultation gives you the chance to get to know everything at your own pace.

  3. All sessions take place online via a secure video call, comfortably from home. All you need is a quiet space and a stable internet connection. This way we can work together regardless of where you are, in a protected and confidential setting.

  4. You choose your appointment yourself through my online calendar. I'm available Mon–Fri from 9 am to 9 pm and Sat & Sun from 9 am to 3 pm, so evenings and weekends work too. Appointments can be booked on the hour. If you ever need to cancel, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance (more on this under cancellations).

  5. Cancellations or rescheduling are free of charge up to 24 hours before the appointment. For shorter-notice cancellations, the session unfortunately cannot be refunded or rescheduled, as the time was reserved exclusively for you.

  6. I offer counseling in German, English, and Spanish. Simply choose the language in which you feel most comfortable and can express yourself most freely.

  7. The first meeting is free and entirely without obligation. In about 20 minutes we get to know each other: we talk about what is on your mind, what goals you would like to achieve, and whether we are a good fit. There is no pressure, it is simply a first conversation.
