When Life Feels Overwhelming
Many people go through phases in life when they feel emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed.
As a psychological psychotherapist based in Cologne, I support individuals whose daily lives are affected by constant overthinking, anxiety, low mood, or high demands.
Perhaps you, too, feel stuck in rigid patterns or emotional burdens that no longer seem manageable on your own.
This is exactly where my work begins:
Private psychotherapy in Cologne offers you targeted, professional support. Together, we create space for change – step by step.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
In my private practice in Cologne, I work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - a scientifically proven method that has shown particular effectiveness in treating anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues..
The goal is to identify and change distressing thought and behaviour patterns. Together, we develop solution-oriented strategies that support and strengthen you in everyday life.
With special attention to emotions and relationships, I offer a space for personal growth.
Benefits of Private Psychotherapy
As a private client, you benefit from several advantages in my practice:
Short waiting times allow for a quick start to therapy – often without long delays.
Appointments are arranged flexibly and individually to fit your schedule.
Unlike public health insurance, no lengthy application process is required – you can begin right away.
I also offer a discreet and protected setting in which you can feel safe and open. This flexibility creates optimal conditions for effective and personalised therapeutic support.
Costs & Billing for Private Psychotherapy in Cologne
I work with private health insurers, civil servant aid schemes (Beihilfe), and self-paying clients. Billing is handled monthly via a private medical billing service (PVS). Your consent to data sharing is required for this process – I will of course explain everything in detail during the initial session.
Privately insured?
Private health insurers usually cover the costs of Psychotherapy. Please check with your provider in advance to confirm the extent of your coverage.
Publicly insured?
Unfortunately, billing through public health insurance is not possible. However, you are welcome to access my services as a self-paying client, based on the official German fee schedule for psychotherapists (GOP).
