Therapy Fees

At Barends Psychology Practice we offer both online therapy and face-to-face sessions. The first session is always free of charge. During this intake we discuss your concerns, goals, and determine whether the treatment is a good fit for you.

Online therapy fees

Online therapy sessions take place via secure video consultations. Many clients choose online therapy because of the flexibility and the comfort of working from their own environment.

  • First session: free
  • Individual therapy (60 minutes): €80
  • Couples therapy (60 minutes): €80

The fees apply per session, not per person. For couples therapy or family sessions it is common to schedule a double session (approximately 2 hours).

Face-to-face sessions in Slovenia

In addition to online therapy, we also offer face-to-face sessions in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

  • First session: free
  • Individual therapy (60 minutes): €80
  • Couples therapy (60 minutes): €80

Business coaching (by invitation)

In addition to therapy, Barends Psychology Practice also offers business coaching
for professionals, entrepreneurs, and executives.

These sessions are by invitation only and are exclusively available to clients who have previously completed at least
Tier 2 of the treatment trajectory.
This ensures that there is already sufficient insight into personal patterns, decision-making, and stress regulation.

  • Session duration: 50 minutes
  • Fee: €400 per session

Business coaching focuses on themes such as leadership, decision-making under pressure, professional relationships, and strategic personal development.

Insurance reimbursement

In some cases therapy may be partially reimbursed by an (international) health insurance provider.
We recommend checking your insurance policy in advance.

Many insurers work with a reimbursement model. This means that you first pay for the session yourself and can then submit the invoice to your insurance provider.

CIGNA Health Insurance is one of the international insurers that reimburses therapy at our practice.

Cancelling an appointment

Appointments can be cancelled free of charge if the cancellation is communicated by email at least
24 hours in advance.

If an appointment is cancelled later than 24 hours before the scheduled time, or if the appointment is missed, the full session fee will be charged.
