▪ Psychological psychotherapy has been included in the benefits catalogue of basic medical insurance since 1 July 2022 (reimbursement from the health insurance company in the case of a diagnosis). The tariffs are defined by the Federal Office of Public Health.

▪ Under certain conditions, IV, victim support or accident insurance will cover part of the costs. If you are a victim of psychological or physical violence, you can contact the official victim support centres in your canton of residence (https://www.fr.ch/vie-quotidienne/en-cas-de-difficultes/centre-de-consultation-lavi-pour-enfants-hommes-et-victimes-de-la-circulation) and apply for cost sharing for psychotherapy.

▪ If you do not wish to be billed by the health insurance fund, psychotherapeutic services can also be paid for by yourself. In this case, please inform the therapist at the initial consultation.

▪ Only the actual time invested is being billed. The sessions usually last 60 minutes. Approximately 10 minutes of preparation and post-processing time will be charged additionally. Work outside the sessions, such as telephone calls, reports, correspondence by letter or e-mail will be charged separately according to time spent.

▪ Agreed appointments are binding. Appointments that are not at least 48 hours (in a working week) cancelled or postponed in advance are invoiced and must be paid by the client.

▪ On request, I am happy to work together with your family doctor or another treating doctor or specialist.
