Question 1

What are the fees for counseling?

Accepted Answer

The fee for the first session is 150chf for individuals, as well as for subsequent sessions in most cases.   In the case that clients cannot afford the full fee, we will decide together during the first session what is appropriate. Please note that the sliding scale option is usually reserved only for those with financial difficulties, such as students, interns, or unemployed people.

Using a sliding scale helps me provide services to a wide variety of people with varying incomes.

Question 2

Is insurance reiumbursement possible?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Health insurance reimbursement is a possibility, depending on your insurance company.

For Swiss insurance companies, my membership in ASCA reimburses therapy for those with certain complementary insurance. Here is a list of insurance companys that normally reiumburse me. Please contact your insurance company directly and mention my ASCA number (N620262) before starting to work together, as this is subject to change.

For international insurance companies, the procedure may be slightly different. In my experience, international insurance is more accepting of my services.   Please check with your insurance company before we start working together.

Question 3

How long does therapy take?

Accepted Answer

Sessions last 60 minutes.

The number of sessions depends on the progression of therapy as well as the preferences of each individual. Clients can choose the frequency and duration of their therapy.

Question 4

Are counseling sessions confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Confidentiality is an important part of therapy and I take it very seriously, as it is important to feel safe in therapy.

Confidentiality can be broken if you harm yourself or others, or if someone is harming you. If confidentiality needs to be broken for these reasons, I will ideally discuss it with you before taking any further action, giving you as much control as possible.
