Fees & terms
Please read these terms carefully before your first appointment; they form the basis of the treatment agreement. If anything is unclear beforehand, we can go through it on the phone, so that you start the first session well informed and with nothing left open.
Fees and appointments
The initial conversation costs nothing. We get to know one another and work out whether therapeutic support makes sense for you, and in what form. You also get a first sense of how we might proceed and what that would cost.
The fee depends on the therapeutic method and on how long the session runs. Follow-up sessions cost between €90 and €180 each, depending on both. Once there is a clear picture, I can tell you which approach suits you and what it will cost.
| Service | Duration | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Initial conversation, by phone or video call | approx. 15 min | free |
| Supportive psychological conversation | per session | €90 |
| Hypnotic healing sleep as a course of sessions, e. g. six · Hypnotischer Heilschlaf | 30 min | €90 |
| Hypnosis and cognitive behavioural therapy depending on length and therapeutic approach | per hour | up to €140 |
| Single hypnosis session | approx. 90 min | €180 |
Reduced rate
On request, and in line with the recommendation of my professional association, the VFP, a reduced rate can be agreed. This is normally €45 per session, or set individually.
Appointments that fit around your life
Standard practice hours do not always suit people who carry a great deal of responsibility at work. By arrangement, I therefore also offer appointments early in the morning and at weekends.
Insurance and reimbursement
Treatment by a Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie is generally not covered by German statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung). Private insurers and Beihilfe schemes differ considerably, and some supplementary policies do contribute — please check your own policy before the first session. Invoices are issued privately, in euros.
Medical treatment is exempt from VAT under § 4 no. 14 of the German VAT Act (UStG).
