General Conditions

Insurance and Rate 

Psychotherapy provided by trained psychologists is reimbursed under Switzerland’s basic compulsory health insurance. To qualify for reimbursement the service needs to be prescribed by a doctor. This prescription allows up to 15 sessions, with the possibility of a second prescription for a further 15 sessions. 

Furthermore, it is possible to cover costs privately. Cost per session is 170.- CHF for the first meeting of up to 75 minutes and the following meetings of 50 minutes. 

What happens in psychotherapy? 

Initially, we clarify what exactly your problem is and to what extent it could be related to an underlying neurodivergence. We find out which factors keep the problem alive, we define goals and methods to approach them. We then either investigate diagnostic questions or go straight into the intervention phase in which you will gradually adopt a new relationship to your difficult emotional experiences and learn new ways to live with them. We practice this wherever is relevant for you and brings you closer to your values, goals and interests. The key question is: What does a good life mean to you? We work wherever makes sense- this can be inside my practice, but also in town, in nature or in your home. It's not unlikely that your hidden resources and talents will show up during this process! 

We also think about and practice together how you can communicate your neurodivergence and needs to those around you. Especially when these lie outside of social expectations, this can be difficult and require courage.

In addition to our sessions, I will provide you with "homework" in the form of worksheets, diaries, exercises or literature. This supports the transfer of therapy into your everyday life and the effects will be more sustainable. 

What is the duration of psychotherapy or counselling? 

The duration of psychotherapy depends on the client and the problem. You can either attend few counselling sessions in which I provide you with suggestions for continuing on your own, or visit therapy for several years -or everything in between, according to your need.  Regarding the frequency of sessions, we mostly start with an intense phase of e.g. weekly sessions which are later spaced out.
