Your most important investment in counselling is your commitment—starting the process, trusting it, and staying with it. It’s not always easy, but it’s incredibly worthwhile.
Taking that first step can feel overwhelming, even intimidating- like opening a door to the unknown and wondering- Will I feel exposed? Will I be judged and told I’m weak or somehow to blame?
These fears are natural. But know this—counselling isn’t about judgment; it’s about support. I am not here to judge but to walk alongside you, helping you navigate your emotions with clarity and compassion.
I understand the hesitation, the uncertainty, even the anguish that comes with considering this step. But relief will come. Maybe not in the way you first expected, but as you move forward, things will become clearer. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the path ahead.
Sessions are available online or in person—wherever you are, I’m here to support you.
The other investment to consider is financial. I do not work with medical insurance, which allows me to remain flexible, approachable, and affordable.
Typically sessions are weekly in the beginning and can then be tapered off later. After every sixth session, we will review your progress together and decide how to proceed.
**For long-term counseling that is likely to continue for an extended period of time, for example in the case of trauma counselling, I understand €50 per session may be challenging to afford. To ensure you can stay with the process, I offer a flexible, self-selected fee. Money should not prevent you from starting or continuing counselling.
You can choose one of the following fees:
€20 / €30 / €45 / €50 per session
You can adjust the fee at any time. If those of you who can afford it, I encourage selecting a higher fee to support those who cannot afford extended counseling, thereby subsidizing their sessions.
Couples counselling requires intensive work at the beginning which is why sessions are longer and should be scheduled close together. Then they can be tapered off to once in two weeks and then once a month or less.
The first 15-minute consultation is free. This allows you to assess your comfort level with me and for me to determine if I can help. If you feel ready, we can proceed with the first session immediately.
The free consultation can be via telephone, WhatsApp, video call, or in person if you live in Dresden. To arrange this, message or call +49 1717040351. Sessions can be conducted online or offline, depending on your location.
