Other Terms

Frequently asked questions / Häufig gestellte Fragen
Do you also offer counseling to children? / Bieten Sie auch Beratung/Coaching für Kinder an?
No. Although children are naturally comfortable with fairytales, counseling children requires a different methodology and that is not my area of expertise. I currently only work with adults.
Nein. Obwohl Kinder sich natürlich mit Märchen wohlfühlen, erfordert die Beratung von Kindern eine andere Methodik und das ist nicht mein Fachgebiet. Derzeit arbeite ich nur mit Erwachsenen.
Do you offer couples- and family counseling? / Bieten Sie auch Paar- und Familienberatungen an?
Not yet, but it is part of my plans for the near future. Check back later for updates on this, or just drop me a message so I can notify you when it becomes available.
In what languages do you offer counseling and coaching? / In welchen Sprachen bieten Sie Beratung und Coaching an?
English, German and Hungarian.
Can I bring children to the session? / Kann ich Kinder zur Sitzung mitbringen?
Please don't. Both the individual, and the group counseling sessions require you to be able to relax and focus fully on the topic. That's why I suggest that you keep this hour just for yourself.
Do I need regular sessions, or can I just come on an ad-hoc basis? / Brauche ich regelmäßige Sitzungen, oder reicht es, wenn ich nur ad-hoc, wenn ich gerade konkreten Beistand brauche, komme?
That depends on your topic, your objectives and on your (mostly financial and scheduling) possibilities. Regular sessions help deepen the process faster, however in some cases, only 2-3 sessions (or even ad-hoc scheduling) have proved to be also very useful for some. In short, I am flexible and am open to discussing the approach based on your needs and possibilities.
Does your counseling substitute psychiatric treatment? / Ersetzt Ihre Beratung eine psychiatrische Behandlung?
Absolutely not. Counseling is not meant to substitute psychiatric or medical help. If you need emergency help, please contact your local emergency medical services instead. Berliner Krisendienst also offers assistance in multiple languages for those in crisis.
Is your therapy space wheelchair accessible? / Ist Ihr Therapieraum rollstuhlgerecht?
Yes. It is possible to drive directly to the entrance of our building. The entrance to the therapy space has an elevator that is wheelchair-sized and there are no further barriers along the way to the therapy rooms. Unfortunately, the toilets are too narrow for wheelchairs.
Does the health insurance (Krankenkasse) pay for these sessions? / Übernimmt die Krankenkasse die Kosten für diese Sitzungen?
No, it doesn't. To find a therapist covered by health insurance, search the official directories for psychological psychotherapists. I am only able to accept self-paying clients (and companies), this is therefore your investment into your well-being and life satisfaction.
