Orientation
Be well-informed for your initial consultation.
Many questions often arise before a counseling session. The following answers provide you with an initial overview.
What is psychological counseling?
Psychological counseling helps you reflect on personal issues, stressors, or decision-making challenges and develop new perspectives.
It is intended for people who are seeking greater clarity, guidance, or support during a challenging phase of life.
Is counseling the same as psychotherapy?
No. The services offered by Resonanzraum are psychological counseling and are not a substitute for psychotherapy, medical treatment, or any form of medical practice.
In the event of acute crises, mental health conditions, or medical issues, please contact a psychotherapy or medical specialist.
What issues is counseling suitable for?
Counseling can be helpful for:
- Decision-making and reorientation
- Stress, feeling overwhelmed, or inner turmoil
- Relationship and communication issues
- Conflicts within the family, in a relationship, or at work
- Self-reflection and personal development
- The desire for greater clarity and inner stability
How do I get in touch?
You can contact us by email or phone. A brief message describing your situation in general terms is sufficient.
You will then receive a response with possible dates for an initial consultation.
What happens during the initial consultation?
During the initial consultation, we’ll get to know each other and work together to clarify what the issue is. You can describe your concern, ask questions, and determine whether this counseling is right for you.
The initial consultation is intended to provide guidance and is non-binding.
How many sessions are recommended?
That depends on the issue. Sometimes a single session is enough to sort through your thoughts or gain a clearer perspective on a decision.
For more complex issues, a counseling package or a longer process may be advisable.
How much does counseling cost?
Current prices:
- Initial consultation: 30 minutes · 45 €
- Individual counseling: 60 minutes · 95 €
- Counseling package: 3 sessions of 45 minutes each · 195 €
- Couples counseling: 90 minutes · 150 €
Are the costs covered by health insurance?
No. Counseling is provided on a self-pay basis. Since this is psychological counseling and not psychotherapy, the costs are generally not covered by public or private health insurance.
Does the counseling take place online or in person?
Depending on the service and our agreement, counseling can take place online or in person. Online counseling is particularly suitable if you want to remain flexible or do not live in Hamburg.
What is therapeutic writing?
In reflective and therapeutic writing, we work with guided writing prompts, reflective questions, and creative methods.
Writing can help you organize your thoughts, express your feelings, and bring inner processes to light. You don’t need any writing experience to participate.
