Psychotherapy and Cost Reimbursement

In the case of mental health issues, health insurance funds partially psychotherapy.
Currently, the reimbursement amount per session is

  • ÖGK € 33.70
  • BVAEB € 45
  • SVS € 46.60
  • KFA € 36
     

During the initial session, the necessary steps for reimbursement will be discussed.
 I do not have any available slots for fully reimbursed positions through health insurance or concessions.
 
However, some private health insurance companies (including those from abroad) fully cover the costs. In the case of international health insurance, please check in with your insurance office individually.

Person-centered psychotherapy
... is a humanistic approach, developed by Carl Rogers (1902-1987). It assumes that the person has an inherent tendency to develop and grow when they are accepted and understood fully. That's why the therapist does not give directions but tries to connect with the client on a deeper level. The soon the client is conscious of their behaviour, they can make choices about their behaviour and life directions.


“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right-hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”

Online Counselling

Online counselling has grown popular during the pandemic and is a safe alternative to face-to-face work. I am happy to work online and grateful for this option as it allows me to work with people from all over the world as well as continue working during the time of Covid lockdown and other infections.

 

For working online, it is required

  • a confidential space where you feel safe
  • a good internet connection

Online Counseling vs. local Psychotherapy

Online counselling cannot always substitute psychotherapeutic treatment in person. Serious mental disorders as well as trauma-therapy require in-person contact.

Please contact a local psychotherapist or GP in case of emergency.
