Fees
Curious about the cost of couples therapy?
I understand that taking the first step towards improving your relationship comes with many questions, including those about financial investment. You might be wondering about the hourly fees or if your health insurance will cover the costs. Here, you will find information about my fee structure, reimbursement, and other essential practical details to help you make an informed decision.
No clock, no timer, no pressure!
The process of repairing a relationship cannot be captured in hours and minutes. This is why I don’t work based on hours and minutes. I work based on sessions. When you arrive I don’t set a timer, I pour you a cup of coffee or tea.
After each session, I want you to feel a true sense of progress in your relationship. Our aim is for you to leave each meeting having taken a meaningful step toward healing and strengthening your bond. I want both you and your partner to finish each session feeling fulfilled and inspired, ready to continue building your relationship with renewed courage and confidence.
Our sessions will not be interrupted by a clock or a timer. There is no pressure! Sessions last at least 90 minutes and longer if necessary. How much longer? Actually, I honestly don’t care how much longer. My sessions do not end with: “Your time is up! Thank you for coming. I will see you next week.”, while you were still in the middle of your sentence.

Fee structure
My therapy plans are designed to provide the support and guidance you need, tailored to fit your unique journey as a couple. To help you plan for your therapy journey, I want to share some important details about the fee structure. The fee structure for the couple therapy plans consists of two parts:
- A non-refundable initial fee: Before starting therapy, a non-refundable initial fee is required. This initial fee varies depending on the therapy plan you choose. It secures your spot and allows preparation for your sessions, ensuring you receive the best possible care right from the beginning.
- A fee per session: In addition to the initial fee, there is a fee for each therapy session. This arrangement gives you the flexibility to progress at a pace that suits your needs, with the assurance of ongoing support and guidance.
I believe that this structure provides a clear and manageable approach to investing in your relationship. The initial fee ensures your commitment, while the per-session fee offers flexibility as you move through the therapy process.
Reimbursement
Couples therapy is often categorized as “uninsured care” by most health insurance companies, meaning they typically do not cover the costs. As an independent practitioner, I do not have contracts with any health insurance companies, so you will be responsible for the costs of your treatment. In some cases, I may work with you individually, and these sessions might be reimbursed by certain health insurance providers. It’s always a good idea to check with your insurance company beforehand to understand your coverage options.
Making an informed decision
I understand that committing to therapy is an important decision. This decision should not be taken lightly. To help you feel confident and informed, I offer an introductory session where you can learn more about me professionally and personally, my approach, and my couples therapy plans. Of course, I will answer any questions you may have, and also recommend the best option for your relationship. Please feel free to schedule your introductory session in my online calendar.
Things to keep in mind…
Sessions in the evening or during the weekend
I am also available in the evening (after 18:00) or during the weekend. There is a surcharge for these sessions.
Sessions at home
In some cases, I may visit you at your home. This entails some prerequisites. The situation at your home should be such that we can work well in a private atmosphere without being distracted or disturbed. A surcharge applies for sessions at home.
Cancelling or rescheduling appointments
I work based on appointments. Appointments that have been made are binding. Cancelling or rescheduling an appointment is always possible, but at least 48 hours in advance, so another couple can use that time slot to schedule an appointment.
Invoicing
After the first session, you will receive an invoice for the plan or course you have selected. If you have used evening or weekend sessions, the applicable supplements will be charged at a later date per invoice.
If you still have questions about the fees, feel free to contact me, preferably via WhatsApp or email.
