Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy in Zurich

I guide my clients through challenging life stages. I offer a safe space for my clients to express their thoughts and emotions freely. I am present and empathic with my clients, I listen without judgement.

The basis of psychotherapy is the conversation. I also focus a lot on the body, feeling into the body, naming emotions and where they are located in the body. Relaxation exercises, visualizations and work with touch can also be part of a session.

 

 

Psychotherapie Gespräch

Initial session

The initial session and the assessment phase (usually three sessions) are for getting to know the client, the situation, struggles and biggest challenges. The client can get to know and experience how I work. Together we will find out what support the client needs and which goals the client has for therapy and his life. After three sessions we will evaluate together and decide if we want to continue working together. Usually in the first few months weekly sessions are recommended. 

Payment terms for psychotherapy

  • Private Pay (CHF 180.-/h), initial session 75 minutes CHF 225.-
  • With a diagnosed mental illness it is possible to bill via basic health insurance. For this the client needs an “Anordnung” from his general practicioner,  a psychiatrist or a doctor of psychosomatic medicine.
