More quality of life despite cluster headache
Combining lived experience and professional counseling
Cluster headache changes your life profoundly. Together we identify your triggers and examine your daily routine. From this we develop strategies that bring quick relief and help you regain control even on the darkest days.
Online counseling – how we work together
Free initial call
In our first conversation, it's all about you and your experiences. You talk about what burdens you, and I listen attentively and without judgment. At the end, you will know if counseling is right for you – completely non-binding.
Choose a package
Together we define your goals and choose a suitable counseling package (e.g. 10 hours). The conscious decision for the package is part of the systemic approach: You actively invest in your change.
Support & evaluation
In regular sessions, we work on your goals. At the end of the package, we evaluate together: What has changed? Were the goals achieved? Then you decide on further steps.
Counseling packages with maximum flexibility
You decide on a package – and enjoy full flexibility within it. Because I know from my own experience: Not everything can be planned with cluster headache.
Counseling Packages
In the initial consultation, we define your goals together and choose a suitable package. Typical packages include 5, 10 or 15 hours – depending on the topic and depth.
= 600 minutes at €2 · Flexibly divisible
Per-minute flexibility
Within your package, billing is by the minute. This gives you full flexibility for each individual session:
- ✓Session shorter or longer than planned? No problem.
- ✓Attack during the session? Immediate stop, only used time counts.
- ✓45, 60, 75 or 90 minutes – as needed.
Appointment policy
48-hour rule: Cancellations up to 48 hours before the appointment are free. For shorter-notice cancellations, the booked appointment is deducted from the package – except in case of an acute attack. Then we always find a fair solution.
