Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy draws on the same theoretical foundations as psychoanalysis, but focuses on a specific theme, conflict, or recurring pattern. It is suited for people who seek targeted support with a concrete difficulty, without entering into the framework of a full analysis.
01
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy could be a good fit for those who:
wish to work on a particular theme or conflict.
suffer from psychological difficulties that can be clearly delimited.
would like to get to know psychoanalytic work.
prefer a less intensive setting than classical analysis.

Initial consultation
The initial consultation is a first meeting of 50 minutes. It offers an opportunity to speak about what has brought you here, to ask questions about psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and to get a sense of whether working together might be right for you. There is no obligation to continue.

Ongoing sessions
As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in advanced training under supervision, my work is regularly discussed with experienced supervisors. This offers a particular form of quality assurance and, at the same time, allows for a somewhat lower fee than that usually charged by fully licensed psychotherapists. Statutory health insurance generally does not provide reimbursement. Fees therefore need to be paid privately.
