My offering is couples and sexual counseling. I am not a psychotherapist and not a licensed alternative practitioner (Heilpraktikerin); counseling does not replace psychotherapy, medical or psychiatric treatment, or medical diagnosis.

The offering comprises couples and sexual counseling – online and in person in Crete. Counseling is available in German and English.

Appointments for online sessions and inquiries about in-person appointments are arranged by email. For organisational reasons, appointments cannot be scheduled by phone.

Online sessions are paid after personal confirmation via a Stripe-hosted payment link (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., Ireland). Card and payment data are processed exclusively by Stripe; this website does not collect payment data.

Terms regarding online prepayment, rescheduling, cancellations, and no-shows can be found in the notes on this page and in your appointment confirmation.

I am neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Note: The online dispute resolution platform (ODR platform) provided by the European Commission was discontinued on 20 July 2025.
