What you may be wondering

The most frequently asked questions about the treatment process, with answers.

About treatment

What happens in the first session?
In the first session we hold a detailed conversation to get to know you, understand your concerns and review your history. It usually lasts 45–60 minutes. At the end of the session you are informed about the treatment plan that suits you.
Do I have to take medication?
Every treatment plan is individual. In some cases psychotherapy alone is enough, while in others medication may also be needed. That decision is made together after the assessment, and the approach best suited to you is planned.
Do medications have side effects?
Every medication has possible side effects. Modern psychiatric medications, however, are generally well tolerated. Before any medication is started you are given detailed information about possible side effects, and you are followed closely throughout the process.
How long does treatment take?
The duration varies from person to person and by condition. Some difficulties can be resolved within a few sessions, while others may require longer treatment. You are informed about the process after the first assessment.

The sessions

Are sessions confidential?
Yes. All sessions are conducted under the principle of absolute confidentiality. Under professional ethics and legal regulations, the content of sessions is not shared with third parties.
How often are sessions held?
Frequency depends on your treatment plan. Weekly sessions are usually recommended at the start, and the intervals can be extended as the process progresses.
How long does a session last?
A standard session lasts between 30 and 50 minutes. The first session is usually longer (45–60 minutes) because a detailed assessment is carried out.
Are sessions available in English?
Yes, sessions can also be held in English. International patients are equally welcome.
