Session costs

My rate for individuals is CHF 170 for 50 minutes. For couples and family therapy, it is CHF 250 for 60 minutes. The actual time spent is charged. A session usually lasts between 45 and 75 minutes.

If you need to cancel a session

Agreed-upon appointments can be cancelled at no cost up to 24 hours in advance. In the event of cancellations at short notice, you will be charged half the rate and unannounced no-shows will be charged at the full rate.

Coverage of session costs by health insurance or accident insurance

On July 1, 2022, the system for psychological psychotherapy in Switzerland was changed. Since then, services rendered by federally certified psychotherapists will be covered by basic health insurance, provided that the therapy has been prescribed by a physician (so-called Anordnungsmodell).

At the moment, I do not offer any services in my practice via basic insurance. Upon request, I will be happy to provide you with information on why.

If you have supplementary insurance, I recommend that you clarify whether and to what extent it will contribute to the costs of treatment in my practice.

For psychological complaints due to an accident, accident insurance will cover the costs of psychotherapy upon request.

If you have psychological problems as a result of physical or psychological violence, you can apply to your regional victim-support office www.opferhilfe-beiderbasel.ch for a contribution toward the costs of psychotherapy.
