Individual Therapy

With individual psychotherapy I work directly with you and your problems, which can be discussed in a confidential setting. In the first meeting (which is not binding, but chargeable) we clarify what your concerns are and whether psychotherapy is the appropriate course to take. You then decide after the first interview whether you would like to start psychotherapy or not. In mutual discussion the length and frequency of the therapy sessions are agreed on and the costs are laid out.

Individual psychotherapy varies in duration, depending on the reason for the treatment and the therapeutic goals. Sometimes a few hours over the course of weeks or months is sufficient and in some cases therapy can extend over two years or longer. During the course of a longer therapy, it is meaningful to at least once a year make some kind of progress report about the therapeutic process. Here you take stock of the treatment process and the achievement of therapeutic goals to see if the therapy needs to be continued or is reaching the end.

Currently psychotherapy costs are not covered in the basic medical aid insurance

The costs incurred by psychotherapy provided by psychotherapists without a medical background, in private practice, are not covered by the basic medical aid insurance even when indicated by a medical doctor. Psychotherapy conducted by a psychiatrist or a psychotherapist working under a psychiatrist, is covered by the basic medical aid cover.

However, most of the medical aid companies provide additional cover, which cover some of the psychotherapy costs with psychotherapists who do not have a medical training. Please contact your medical aid for further information.

Rates

The rates that I would agree with you would be in terms of your financial circumstances and would be between CHF 120 and CHF 180 per hour.
