What is it about?

Good to know

My way of working

My approach to psychotherapy combines genuine, supportive empathy with a strong focus on efficient, rapid help: through information about how our brain works (psychoeducation and neuropsychoeducation), through targeted shifts in perspective — especially in more complex systems such as partnerships and teams — and through lasting help toward self-help, ideally so that even a few sessions can make a real difference. This often means sessions are more frequent at first and then spaced further apart.

Settings: walking talks, video, phone, home visits

I work in a few different settings, depending on what suits you. For many years I have offered quiet «walking talks» in nature close to the city, in both Zurich and Baselland, for individuals and couples — in BL usually starting from the «Gemeindestube» on Hauptstrasse in Bottmingen up to the Bruderholz plateau and back; in ZH along the lake or in the «Dolderwald» near the Zürichberg (meeting point: Dolderbahn terminus). I also offer telephone and video sessions, and home visits where needed. Even during periods abroad I am usually still reachable for telephone appointments.

Fee and insurance

My fee is CHF 260/hour for self-paying clients. We determine the session length together — anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours is possible.

I work exclusively with self-paying clients: you receive the invoice directly from me and can then submit it yourself for reimbursement to any supplementary insurance you may have — not basic insurance. Conditions vary widely, however, and some insurers require a prior medical referral, so please confirm the current terms that apply to you (ideally in writing).

One thing worth weighing: submitting to your insurer brings financial support, but also means the insurer is informed of your situation, which can affect future claims or policy changes. I am happy to talk this through with you.

Your details

Confirmations

How to recognise our messages: the SMS comes from sender "Psychosophia", the e-mail from Institut Psychosophia <rechnung@psychosophia.ch>. They state the invoice number and amount and contain a link to www.psychosophia.ch (valid for 30 days); the message text contains no details about your treatment. If you chose the PDF attachment, the e-mail contains the invoice, payment reminder or second reminder as a PDF (with details of the sessions) instead of the link; an SMS still contains the link. SMS and e-mail can be combined; choose post only if you do not want electronic delivery. We never ask for passwords or card details. Questions: +41 41 210 15 19.
