FAQ

What you'd like to know.

The most common questions — answered briefly and honestly. Everything else is best clarified in a free intro call.

First steps

How does the free intro call work? +

We meet for about 15 minutes via video. You share what's on your mind, ask your questions — and we sense whether working together feels right for you. Afterwards you decide in peace. No costs, no obligation.

Do I need to prepare? +

No. All you need is an undisturbed spot and a stable internet connection. Everything that matters emerges in the conversation — that is exactly the Gestalt approach.

Does online therapy really work? +

Yes. A protected, personal space emerges via video too — many of my clients even find their own home more comfortable. And you save yourself the commute.

Which language are the sessions in? +

In English, German or Polish — entirely your choice. Especially when you live abroad, it can feel good to speak in the language you feel in.

Practical matters

How much does online therapy cost? +

Individual therapy and expat counselling: €100 per session (50 minutes). Couples therapy: €150 per session (60 minutes). The intro call is free.

How often do sessions take place? +

At the beginning I recommend weekly sessions, so trust can grow. Later, fortnightly appointments are possible too — and if finances play a role, we can find a three-week rhythm.

What if I need to cancel an appointment? +

You can cancel a session up to 24 hours in advance — the amount is then credited towards your next session.

Does my insurance cover the costs? +

Gestalt therapy is a self-pay service. Some insurers do reimburse a percentage of the sessions — it is worth asking your health insurance or supplementary insurance.

Effect & duration

How long does therapy take? +

Therapy is a very individual process: it can take weeks or months — often between one and three years. You set the pace, and you can pause or finish at any time.

How do I know therapy is working? +

Research shows: the healing factor is not the method itself but the relationship — your ability to open up and build trust. That is exactly the focus of Gestalt therapy: contact.

Is everything confidential? +

Of course. Everything you share with me stays between us. The video sessions also take place over a secure connection.

One question still open?

Ask me directly — in a free intro call or via the contact form. 15 minutes via video, no obligation, confidential.
