What Is Individual Therapy About?
In individual therapy, we explore your psychological difficulties, how they developed, and the factors that may be maintaining them. My work is based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Together, we develop an individual understanding of your difficulties and identify changes you can try out in everyday life.
What Can Individual Therapy Help With?
Individual therapy may be helpful for depression, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorders, distressing experiences, sleep difficulties, or ADHD in adults, among other concerns. During the initial consultation, we assess whether a mental health condition requiring treatment is present and discuss an appropriate approach.
How Does Treatment Work?
Treatment begins with an initial consultation and, if appropriate, further introductory (probationary) sessions. We discuss your goals, carry out a diagnostic assessment, and develop a treatment plan together. Throughout therapy, we regularly review whether the steps we have chosen are helpful.
Practical Details
An individual session lasts 50 minutes. Selected appointments can also take place by video. The overall duration and frequency depend on your concerns and the course of treatment.
Costs and Insurance
My practice welcomes patients with private health insurance, those eligible for Beihilfe (government aid), and self-paying patients. Under certain conditions, a reimbursement procedure (Kostenerstattungsverfahren) may be possible for patients with statutory health insurance. More information: Costs.
The Psychotherapy Process
1. Get in Touch
You can send me a message using the contact form on this website or book an appointment directly via Doctolib.
2. Initial Consultation
I will contact you to arrange an initial consultation (50 minutes). We will explore your concerns, goals, and hopes for change, and I will make an initial diagnostic assessment. I will also explain what is important for effective psychotherapy. Together, we will discuss my recommendation and whether and how psychotherapy in my practice could support you.
3. Probationary Sessions
Depending on scheduling availability and the practice’s capacity, we will arrange further introductory sessions. You will get to know me and my way of working, while I develop a more detailed understanding of your situation in order to create a treatment plan.
4. Therapy
We then begin therapy. Together, we develop an individual understanding of your difficulties, taking into account your life experiences, underlying beliefs, and factors that may be maintaining them. We use different therapeutic methods to support the process of change.
5. Completion
Throughout therapy, we discuss the extent to which you have achieved your goals, and I share my professional assessment of your progress. Once your goals have been reached, we will decide together to conclude treatment.
