This is how it starts with us.
You book an introductory session.
Online, by phone or by email. It is free, and you do not have to decide on anything yet.
We get to know each other.
About 45 minutes for what brings you here, over a cup of tea. You share as much as you like.
Together we see whether it fits.
We look at which support we can offer you. You do not have to choose a method, we are happy to advise you. And you find out whether you feel comfortable with us. If another path suits you better, we will tell you openly.
You receive a recommendation.
We suggest a suitable therapist from our team and explain the process and costs for single sessions and the Flossenpass, our therapy package with Body & Relaxation. The recommendation is non-binding, you decide at your own pace. See prices →
You start at your own pace.
If you would like to begin, we arrange your first appointment. If you later want to change therapist or method, just let us know. That is no problem with us.

To the overviewFrequently Asked Questions
Do I have to choose a method beforehand?
No. You do not need to know whether talk, art or bodywork suits you. In the introductory session we listen and then suggest what we think makes sense. The recommendation is non-binding, you decide.
Can I change therapist or method later?
Yes, at any time. If you feel something does not fit, let us know. We change the therapist or the method without you having to justify anything. That is part of how we work.
What is the Kaiserufer?
The Kaiserufer is a private practice for mental health in Hamburg Rotherbaum. We combine psychotherapy (HPG), Art Therapy, bodywork and wellness offerings such as Yin Yoga and sound healing under one roof. With us you are called a guest, not a patient, and that is exactly how it feels.
Who is the Kaiserufer for?
For anyone who wants to do something for themselves. You need no prescription and no diagnosis, and you are of course welcome with an existing diagnosis too, for example after a clinic stay or while waiting for a statutory therapy place. Some come because of acute struggles such as burnout, anxiety or depression, others simply want a space to find some calm. Our range is broad: psychotherapy under the German Heilpraktiker act (HPG), psychological counselling and diagnostics, talk therapy, couples counselling, art therapy, body therapy, group therapy and workshops as well as classes such as yoga, sound baths and meditation, for adults, teenagers and children. We do have one limit: in cases of acute suicidality or self-harm, a clinic is the safe place, and that is where we will refer you.
Why a private practice?
As a private practice we offer you decisive advantages:
- Immediate appointments instead of months of waiting
- Free choice of therapist
- Full discretion, nothing is reported to your insurer
- Maximum flexibility in methods and scheduling
You keep full control over your therapy journey.
How much does a session cost?
Our prices are transparent and fair. The initial consultation (approx. 45 min) is always free and comes with no obligation. You can find all further details on our prices page.
Does health insurance pay?
Psychotherapy under the Heilpraktiker act (HPG) is a private-pay service, as are our counselling, diagnostics and all classes. Statutory health insurers generally do not cover these costs. Private health insurers and supplementary policies, however, often reimburse part of the costs depending on your plan. You always receive an invoice from us that you can submit. Feel free to ask us, we are happy to help you clarify this.
What happens at the first appointment?
Your first visit is a no-obligation getting-to-know-you conversation. We take about 45 minutes, listen to you and look together at which path fits you. No forms, no pressure. Just an open conversation.
