Procedure and Costs
Initial consultation
Before a therapy can be started, a so-called initial consultation takes place. At this non-binding appointment, we discuss your current concerns and problems as well as desired goals of a possible therapy. I explain in more detail my working method as well as the general conditions and how I would work with you therapeutically.
However, the most important thing during the initial consultation is whether a certain basis of trust is established, as the therapeutic relationship is extremely important for a successful therapeutic process.

Home visits
For home visits, I charge a travel fee in addition to the hourly fee, which is based on travel time. We can clarify this during the initial consultation.
Cancellation policy
Appointments can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours in advance. Within 48 hours I have to charge the full fee.
In special cases the session can be held online.
Confidentiality
Psychotherapy has the strictest duty of confidentiality of all health professions in Austria. Paragraph 15 of the Psychotherapy Act (PthG) regulates this by obligating psychotherapists and their assistants to maintain secrecy about all secrets that have been entrusted to them or have become known to them.
