FAQ - english
1. Why discrimination aware?
Exclusion Experience and Violence
People who face discrimination have to cope with increased stress and extreme pressure. They deserve a place where they can speak freely without facing minority stress again.
Invisibility and the Need to Justify
Those who do not belong to the so-called "norm" are often rendered invisible in public spaces. Additionally, they constantly have to explain their own existence, which requires a great deal of energy.
The Right to Professional Support
I envision a world where all people can find safe counselling spaces, where the person across from them does not need to be educated or convinced of anything.
Anyone seeking counselling has an important issue that brings about stress or raises questions. No one should experience exclusion, pathologization, invisibility, or devaluation in this situation.
2. How is the pricing structured?
relationship counselling
I base the pricing structure for individual or relationship counseling on the number of participants.
I offer the option to book individual sessions or packages.
You will receive a detailed price overview during the initial consultation or upon request. All options include a sliding scale, meaning a price range; I also offer reduced solidarity spots.
The initial consultation is FREE in any case (1st appointment).
