Questions and Answers
In all work-related situations where you’re seeking clarity or cannot make progress on your own. For example:

- when you struggle to bring up concerns with superiors or deliver uncomfortable messages.

Topics and Goals
At the start of the coaching or supervision process, you’ll begin by exploring your concerns and possible goals. Together, we’ll use this information to agree on a direction. Your focus may change over the course of this process, in which case the agreement can be revised and adjusted accordingly. It’s also possible to move forward without defining any specific goals or focus areas for the coaching process.
Evaluation
At regular intervals—at least once a year and at the end of the overall counseling period—we’ll conduct an interim or final review of the supervision or coaching process. The same applies to therapeutic work: a review or closing session is held at the end of the process.
It is possible to end the working relationship at any time. In this case, a closing session is recommended to end the process on a positive note.
Quality Assurance
As a member of the professional associations Deutsche Gesellschaft für Supervision und Coaching e.V. (DGSv) and Deutsche Vereinigung für Gestalttherapie, I am part of two quality associations and committed to their ethical guidelines and membership regulations. This helps to ensure and develop the quality of my consulting services.
An initial telephone consultation of up to 20 minutes is free of charge.
I charge a regular hourly rate of EUR 130 for all other appointments. A reduced hourly rate of EUR 100 is available for students.
Please cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you are unable to attend. In cases of late cancellation or missed appointments, I reserve the right to charge the full fee, unless I am able to make other arrangements. The fees listed on the website apply, unless otherwise agreed.
Coaching and supervision do not include VAT according to § 19 UStG. Gestalt therapy is exempt from VAT as a medical treatment according to § 4, No.14 UStG. Costs cannot be covered by statutory health insurance. Private health insurance companies charge according to the scale of fees for alternative practitioners. As an insured person, you are responsible for clarifying the costs with your health insurance company. For me, you are the contractual partner and not the health insurance company.
