Fees & Process What does couples, sex or body-oriented therapy cost in Berlin?
You can see what a session with me costs here, before you write to me. As a rule, you pay the fees yourself; statutory health insurance does not cover them.
You pay for each session separately. How long you keep coming is up to you. Further down you can read how the beginning works and what happens if you cancel.
Fees & Process
- 1You get in touch.
By form, email or phone, whichever is easier for you. If you like, we can talk on the phone for 15 minutes first, free of charge.
- 2We start straight away.
The initial session is already our first working session. You describe what brings you, and we start working on it right away. Often something already becomes clearer. Along the way you notice whether the chemistry is right. Afterwards you decide whether to continue.
- 3We keep going.
We usually meet every two to four weeks. In between, you try out new things in everyday life. In each session we look at what has changed and what to work on next. How long we work together is something we decide together.

Frequently asked questions
“What does the initial session cost?”
The initial session is already our first working session. As a couple, it’s best to come together, but you can also come on your own – more on that under individual sessions. It is charged like any other session, according to format and length. The 15-minute phone call beforehand costs nothing and is not yet a session.
“Do we have to commit to several sessions?”
No. You pay for each session separately. There are no packages and no contracts for a set number of appointments. After the initial session you decide whether to continue, and after that you decide again each time.
“What if we have to cancel?”
Please cancel at least 48 hours in advance. If you cancel later, or don’t turn up without cancelling, I charge the full fee. At such short notice I usually can’t give the appointment to anyone else.
“How do we pay, and do we get an invoice?”
You pay after each session by bank transfer or PayPal. Unfortunately, I can’t take cards or cash. You receive an invoice. If you come as a couple, it goes to one of you, and that person pays.
“Why does a couples session last 90 minutes?”
So that you both have enough time. With two people, it takes longer until each of you has said what matters to you and we can work on it. Individual sessions last 60 minutes. Online, a couples session also lasts 60 minutes, which is why it costs less.
“Is couples therapy covered by health insurance?”
Statutory health insurance does not cover the costs. If you have private health insurance, Beihilfe (the state allowance for civil servants) or supplementary insurance for Heilpraktiker services, please ask them beforehand whether they will reimburse the invoice. With couples therapy in particular, this is often difficult. I can’t promise you a refund.
“What does a session cost online or in English?”
Online sessions are charged at the online fee and sessions in the practice at the practice fee, even if you switch between the two. Many people mostly come to the practice and meet online for roughly every third session. A session in English costs the same as a session in German.
“What if money is tight?”
Not everyone can pay the fee themselves over a longer period. Some counselling centres in Berlin offer couples and sex counselling at a lower cost, some on a sliding scale based on income or free of charge. You’ll find an overview under support services.
