2. Our First Session: A First Step in Your Process
In the first session, we have the opportunity to get to know each other and determine whether and how we can work together. We will discuss your expectations for our collaboration and clarify the framework, such as the preferred frequency of sessions and my professional assessment.

3. Subsidy Application with the Insurace: I Guide you through the Application Process
If you would like to receive a subsidy from your health insurance, you will need a doctor’s confirmation between the first session and the second session. Your general practitioner is the appropriate contact for this. To receive the subsidy for more than ten sessions, I will need to submit a form to the health insurance after the fourth session. We will discuss this form. It does not contain any personal secrets or sensitive information. You will then submit the form along with the doctor’s confirmation and invoices. You can find information about the subsidy amounts on the ÖBVP website.

4. The Psychotherapeutic Process: We Walk the Path Together
After the initial conversation, we will begin the joint process. Typically, our sessions take place weekly. If a different rhythm is important to you, please let me know. If sessions are to occur every two weeks, it is advisable to initially have three sessions in a weekly rhythm so that we can get to know each other well at the beginning. However, this is not a requirement. I will inform you in advance about any vacations and ask that you cancel appointments at least 24 hours in advance if you are unable to attend.

FEES

Psychotherapy (50 minutes): 110 €
Consultation and Coaching (50 minutes): 120 €
Couple Counseling/Therapy (80 minutes): 220 €

Initial consultations are billed at the same rate as a regular session.
Reduced social fees are available upon request. Please feel free to mention this during the initial contact.
I will send you the invoices in an encrypted format, which is mandatory for psychotherapists as of January 1, 2025.

PRINCIPLES

Individuality: Flexible for You
I tailor my offerings to your needs. You can choose between in-person and online sessions, and adjust the frequency of sessions as desired – for example, every two weeks or another rhythm. Together, we will find what works best for you and your concerns. I will help guide you with my professional assessment to create the most suitable path for you.

Confidentiality and Protection: I Am Obliged to Silence
Confidentiality is central to my professional practice and is binding according to Section 15 of the Austrian Psychotherapy Act. Everything you entrust to me remains confidential and is subject to the duty of silence. Even health insurance companies or doctors will not learn any secrets or personal information when you apply for a cost subsidy.

Cancellation Fee: Please Cancel Appointments in Advance
If you are unable to attend an appointment, I kindly ask that you inform me at least 24 hours in advance. Otherwise, I will unfortunately have to charge a cancellation fee equivalent to the regular session costs.

In Case of Urgent Need: When Something Can’t Wait
In acute emergencies, please contact the relevant emergency numbers and counseling hotlines, which are regularly updated by the ÖBVP. The emergency number 112 and the Austrian Telephone Counseling Service (under the number 142) are also available to you at any time.
