Transparent costs for Psychological Counseling in Zurich.

I will call you by phone so we can briefly coordinate your concerns and questions and arrange the appointment for the initial consultation.

No, in Switzerland, only psychotherapies must be covered by basic insurance, as these treat serious psychological disorders and illnesses. This requires a medical referral and disclosure to the insurance provider.   For the costs of psychological counseling and coaching, the principle of self-payment applies, with a few rare exceptions. Counseling empowers clients to cope with challenging life circumstances and does not require an illness. Therefore, disclosure to your insurance provider is not necessary.

Yes, I am bound by professional secrecy. Professional confidentiality applies to everything discussed. Furthermore, standard industry ethical guidelines apply, and your data is subject to the Swiss Data Protection Act.

Yes, where useful and desired, a 90-minute session can also be arranged.

Yes, you can participate online by arrangement. I use Microsoft Teams as it consistently works smoothly. You will receive an invitation email with a link that opens in a web browser. Alternatively, if you have the app installed on your computer, you can use that as well. Please test the link before the appointment and ensure your video and audio are working.

Psychological counseling and coaching are available in German and English.

The total duration depends on your concerns and needs and can therefore be shorter or longer. An important aspect is the willingness to engage in a process of change and to collaborate actively.

No, medication cannot be prescribed in psychological counseling. However, you are welcome to discuss this with your family doctor if needed.

The initial consultation serves as a way to get to know each other and addresses your concerns, needs, wishes, and questions. Contrary to what is often assumed, no preparation is necessary.
