01
Begin with a few basic details and discuss your questions personally.
Yes. Email [email protected] or call +49 1520 8066 240. For an initial appointment enquiry, give your name, a way to contact you, your request for an initial meeting and whether the patient has statutory (public) or private health insurance. Share confidential health information or reports only through a personally agreed transfer route.
If you wish, bring brief notes on your goals, what you have already tried, the results and changes since the enquiry. Ask Annika Gubisch beforehand who should attend and which documents may be useful.
No. You do not need a diagnosis or clinical terms to make an initial enquiry. A brief request for support or guidance is enough. Annika Gubisch discusses your concerns personally and considers with you which questions and next steps may be helpful. You do not need a referral from a doctor and can contact the practice directly.
Begin with what the young person hopes to achieve. With Annika Gubisch, consider previous strategies, their results and any changes since the enquiry. You then agree suitable next steps and clarify caregiver involvement. Suitability, practical arrangements and costs are also discussed personally.
View feesAn enquiry begins a personal conversation and is not yet confirmation of a place in therapy. Annika Gubisch discusses suitability, current capacity and possible waiting times with you. Other services may be considered if a different setting would be more appropriate.
02
Cognitive behavioural therapy, shared goals and an individual approach.
Cognitive behavioural therapy considers how thoughts, feelings and behaviour relate to one another in daily life. Annika Gubisch explores which difficulties and existing strengths matter to the young person. Together, these can inform goals and practical steps. The work is adapted to age, concerns and professional assessment.
Not every beginning needs many words. Depending on age and circumstances, play or creative approaches may have a place alongside conversation. Annika Gubisch chooses materials and methods suited to the concerns. A child does not need to explain every feeling perfectly at the first contact.
Goals are discussed together and shaped around individual circumstances. The young person’s perspective, questions and strengths matter. The role of caregivers is agreed appropriately. As the work develops, you consider together what is helpful and whether the goals need adjusting.
A session usually lasts about 45 minutes. A crisis during an agreed appointment may require more time; Annika Gubisch discusses the arrangements personally. Frequency and the overall length of therapy are agreed around individual goals and progress.
Raise your uncertainty in conversation. You or your child can tell Annika Gubisch what remains unclear, what approach might feel helpful or what does not seem suitable. Together, you can consider whether adjustments or a different form of support would make sense.
03
Age groups, participation and the role of important caregivers.
The children’s section covers ages 0–12. Annika Gubisch discusses personally which support may be appropriate at a particular age and for a particular concern. Parents or other authorised caregivers can ask an initial question without having to explain or classify every difficulty already.
Yes. The young people’s section covers ages 13–21, including young adults. Annika Gubisch discusses personally whether the approach fits the concerns and individual circumstances. The young person’s own perspective matters. Caregiver involvement is agreed individually; minors and adults have different legal arrangements.
Annika Gubisch clarifies who may handle organisational matters for each person receiving treatment. Guardianship, personal circumstances and agreed permissions are considered. Permission to manage appointments and access to confidential conversation content are clarified separately.
Parents and important caregivers can contribute everyday experience and support. Annika Gubisch discusses which conversations should be together or separate and how often they may be useful. Collaboration is shaped around age, concerns and circumstances, and can be adjusted as the work develops.
The young person’s questions, wishes and boundaries are part of getting to know one another. Annika Gubisch looks for understandable, age-appropriate ways to communicate. Reluctance or uncertainty can also be discussed. The individual perspective is considered when clarifying goals, caregiver involvement and next steps.
04
Personal confirmation, changes and the planned online booking service.
No. An enquiry is an initial request for an appointment. Contact the practice by email or telephone to agree a suitable time personally. Ask the practice to confirm your appointment.
Please cancel agreed appointments at least 24 hours before they begin. The earlier you cancel, the better I can rearrange the schedule and offer the available time to another patient. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice or do not attend, I charge 80% of the agreed session fee under the cancellation terms agreed in writing beforehand, if the appointment cannot be filled by another patient. This missed-appointment fee is payable privately. Saved costs and income from alternative use of the time are credited. You may show that no loss, or a substantially smaller loss, occurred; the fee is then waived or reduced accordingly. Use the agreed contact route; you can email [email protected] outside the telephone window as well.
View feesThe planned patient portal is intended to allow at most two upcoming confirmed appointments per approved patient, shared across all authorised caregivers. “Available” does not mean free of charge. Online booking is not active here yet. Email confirmation and Annika Gubisch’s individual access approval are intended to come first.
View feesContact the practice as early as possible with the appointment concerned and your requested change. Agree the new time with Annika Gubisch and ask for confirmation of which appointment applies. We agree appointment changes personally. When rescheduling, please also observe the minimum 24-hour cancellation notice and the agreed missed-appointment terms.
View feesVideo sessions cannot yet be booked or accessed through this website. Ask Annika Gubisch personally whether a video appointment is suitable and possible. An appropriate provider, access arrangements and privacy requirements need to be configured and assessed for this service.
05
Clarify terms beforehand and distinguish the different responsibilities.
Services, the individual session fee and payment terms are agreed personally and in writing before treatment begins. The fees page explains the supplied examples; your individual agreement is what applies. The fees page also explains the missed-appointment terms. Discuss reimbursement or refund questions too, so that you understand the arrangements before starting.
View feesThis depends on your insurance policy or the rules of your Beihilfe benefits office. Before treatment begins, ask about coverage, documents and any recognition or approval that may be required. Annika Gubisch can explain billing arrangements; the responsible funder decides whether costs will be covered.
View feesStatutory health insurance does not automatically pay for private-practice treatment. Clarify beforehand with your insurer and Annika Gubisch whether an individual reimbursement arrangement might be possible. Ask about the conditions, documents and decision on coverage.
View feesSelf-payment can be discussed with Annika Gubisch. First clarify suitability, available places, services, fees and terms. If you intend to seek reimbursement later, discuss the conditions beforehand with the potential funder.
View feesThese roles can differ. Clarify with the practice who will receive treatment, who handles organisational contact and who should receive the invoice. Responsibility for payments and access to confidential treatment information are arranged separately.

Personal arrangements and an appropriate route for sensitive documents.
Annika Gubisch is subject to professional confidentiality. Legal requirements or necessary safeguarding measures may set limits in particular situations. Discuss personally how collaboration will work and who may receive which information.
Not automatically. Annika Gubisch discusses involvement considering guardianship, decision-making capacity, circumstances and applicable rules. Safeguarding questions may also matter. Clarify which information will be shared together and how confidential conversations will be arranged.
Not automatically. Permission to arrange appointments does not give blanket access to treatment notes or documents. Possible access, permissions and legal requirements are clarified separately with Annika Gubisch.
Agree with Annika Gubisch which documents are needed and which transfer route is appropriate. Please do not send sensitive documents unsolicited through unencrypted email or the public contact form. Patient uploads are not active here yet.
Registration, patient accounts and online booking are not active here yet. Contact the practice initially by email or telephone. Future access is intended to require email confirmation and Annika Gubisch’s individual review with appropriate permissions. Acceptance for treatment and access to treatment records are clarified separately.

The practice is not an emergency service. Call 112 if there is immediate danger.
Call 112 if there is immediate danger or a life-threatening medical emergency. Do not wait for a practice reply, an email or a function on this website. Annika Gubisch’s practice is not an emergency service.
In Germany, 116117 provides guidance for urgent medical concerns that are not life-threatening, particularly when regular practices are closed and treatment cannot wait. The telephone patient service operates in German. It also provides information about accessing medical and psychotherapeutic services. For a life-threatening emergency, the correct number is 112.
Krisendienste Bayern can be reached on 0800 655 3000. It offers free advice and support around the clock for people in mental health crises, their relatives and others affected. Calls must be made from a mobile or landline within Bavaria. You do not need an appointment with this practice to contact the service.
For urgent help, please do not wait for an email reply from the practice. Email and website enquiries are for ordinary contact and do not provide reliable immediate help. During a crisis, contact the appropriate emergency, medical on-call or crisis service directly.
The support resources section brings together contacts for young people, parents and caregivers. Annika Gubisch can discuss which counselling or other support might be appropriate. Ask the relevant service about access and capacity. During an acute crisis, contact the appropriate help service directly.
