About Online Therapy
As part of my professional work as a Heilpraktikerin limited to the field of psychotherapy, I offer online therapy for adults, individuals, and couples. When appropriately indicated, online psychotherapy is a recognized and effective form of therapeutic care and may serve as an alternative or complement to in-person sessions. Online therapy does not replace medical, psychiatric, or psychotherapeutic treatment as defined by the German Psychotherapists Act (Psychotherapeutengesetz, PsychThG). No medical diagnoses are made, no medication is prescribed, and acute psychiatric crises are not treated.
My online and hybrid therapy services are designed for people seeking flexible, confidential, and location-independent support for emotional distress, relationship challenges, inner conflicts, or personal development concerns. Sessions are conducted via a secure video platform, in accordance with professional regulations, confidentiality obligations, and applicable data protection laws. While high security standards are applied, a residual risk of technical disruptions or unauthorized access cannot be entirely excluded.
Suitability for Online Therapy
Online psychotherapy requires sufficient emotional and psychological stability. It is not suitable in cases of acute psychiatric crisis, immediate risk of self-harm or harm to others, or situations requiring urgent medical or psychiatric intervention.
To ensure a stable and effective therapeutic working relationship, it is essential that you:
- have access to a quiet, private, and protected environment during sessions
- are able to attend appointments regularly and reliably
Suitability for online therapy is carefully assessed during the initial consultation. If necessary, I may recommend an alternative therapeutic setting or advise further psychotherapeutic, medical, or psychiatric evaluation.
Technical & Organizational Requirements
Online sessions take place in your familiar environment. At the same time, the online setting may feel unfamiliar at first and can influence communication, non-verbal cues, and emotional intensity. Particularly in emotion-focused therapeutic work, facial expressions, gestures, and bodily responses play an important role.
To create optimal conditions for online therapy, the following are required:
- good lighting and clear audio quality
- a stable internet connection
- a calm, secure, and interruption-free space
To protect confidentiality, the therapeutic relationship, and data privacy, video, audio, or screen recordings of online therapy sessions are not permitted. Recordings are allowed only with the prior written consent of all parties involved.
Therapeutic work can be emotionally activating and may evoke intense emotional experiences. These reactions are a natural part of the therapeutic process and are prepared for, reflected upon, and followed up together.
For technical issues and emergency situations, mutual telephone availability during sessions is a mandatory requirement.

ONline THERAPY PROCESS
Arrange an online initial consultation via the appointment booking system. Here we discuss your current life situation, the difficulties you have experienced, the maintaining factors as well as your wishes for change.
We check the indication and choose a setting suitable for you from various options, e.g. acute or regular appointments, as a series over a longer period of time or compact in an intensive block therapy.
After the decision has been made, we start the cooperation. We evaluate the complete course of therapy until its completion and adapt the methods, appointment frequency and, if necessary, the setting to ongoing developments so that you can achieve your goals in the best possible way.
LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU
