Individual Psychology Consultation
Maybe you struggle with intrusive thoughts or anxiety, notice habits or traits that keep working against you, find it hard to reach the goals you set or to hold on to close relationships. Or perhaps you simply feel your life is not going the way you want. Things do not have to reach a crisis before you address them: sometimes wanting to understand yourself better is reason enough.
A therapist can help when you are facing:
Employer support
Good employers understand the value of therapy and gladly contribute
We will reach out to your employer and discuss partial or full compensation for your sessions. If you prefer, we can make the request anonymously, without revealing who asked.

of people experience mental health challenges at some point in their lives. You're not alone.
How working with a therapist helps you feel better
More than just talking: here is what happens in therapy and why it works.
A safe space to speak freely
In a confidential setting you can finally say out loud what has been circling in your head, without fear of judgement. Often that alone brings relief.
Understanding the deeper causes
A specialist helps you see recurring patterns of thinking and behaviour and understand where they come from. Once you see the causes, change becomes much easier.
Practical tools for everyday life
Therapy gives you concrete techniques to manage anxiety, tension or difficult emotions in the moment, not just talk about them.
Clearer self-knowledge
Knowing your values, needs and boundaries better, you start making decisions that fit you rather than the expectations of others.
Support while things change
Change takes time. A specialist helps you keep direction, notice progress and stay motivated when it gets hard.
Changes that last
The goal is not dependence on therapy but skills you can keep using on your own long after the sessions end.
Psychologist or Psychotherapist?
In short, the difference is education: psychologists hold a master's degree in psychology, while psychotherapists have also completed postgraduate psychotherapy training. Still, education alone says little about experience or whether a specialist will be right for you.
That is why it is perfectly normal to try a few different specialists. It gives you a point of reference and a clearer feeling of who you find easiest and most helpful to work with.
Common Questions & Answers
Find out all the essential details about individual therapy and how it can help you.
What is the cost of psychology consultation?
Each GoTherapy specialist sets their own price per session. It can vary depending on session length or other specifics. You will see prices in our specialist catalog and detailed consultation prices are provided in each specialist's profile. Generally, prices range from €35 to €100 (sometimes more) for an individual psychologist or psychotherapist session. The average price of our specialists is about €50.
How often do consultations take place and how many might be needed?
The frequency of consultations (for example, several times a week, once a week, every two weeks or less frequently) is coordinated individually, taking into account the complexity of the situation and the client's possibilities. Sometimes a few meetings are enough for clients, while others facing greater difficulties choose longer, psychotherapeutic work. Think about it, if you have been living with a problem for more than one year, and probably have already tried to solve it independently, why should it be resolved in just a few psychotherapy sessions?
Are online consultations available?
Yes, many GoTherapy specialists provide consultations remotely (via video call), and some work exclusively this way. This is especially convenient for those living abroad, having mobility difficulties, saving time, or traveling a lot. You can find a list of psychologists and psychotherapists accepting clients online here.
I have insurance or will it cover GoTherapy services?
It is important to understand – services are provided to you by mental health specialists, not GoTherapy. Therefore, before submitting an application for insurance expense compensation, it is very important to understand whether your insurance company will compensate for the services of a specific specialist. In such cases, after clarifying the insurance company's requirements, we suggest contacting us and clarifying about the desired specialist.
How to prepare for the first consultation?
It is advisable to think about what questions you want to discuss, what goals or expectations you have for psychotherapy. You can also write down the main difficulties to make it easier to describe the situation to the psychologist or psychotherapist. It is very important to be open – this will help you understand the essence of the problem faster and find ways to solve it.
Will everything I say remain confidential?
Yes. Psychologists and psychotherapists are bound by professional ethics that ensures client confidentiality in psychotherapy or psychology consultation. Information can be disclosed only in very exceptional cases, for example, when there is a threat to human life.
How long does one consultation last?
Most commonly, an individual consultation lasts from 45 to 60 minutes. The time may vary depending on the specialist's working style and client needs. The typical session duration for GoTherapy specialists is 50 minutes.
Do you prescribe medication?
No. Medication is prescribed by psychiatrists. Among GoTherapy specialists there are only psychologists and psychotherapists.
