Coaching vs. Psychotherapy (In A Nutshell :))
Practical (vs. Essential) Differences between Coaching & Psychotherapy
| Coaching | Psychotherapy |
| No Diagnosis required | Diagnosis required by law |
| Must be paid for out-of-pocket |
Possibility of having a part of the fee paid for by health insurance; however, I currently do not accept payments through insurance companies. |
| Must pay Sales Tax (19%) on Services Rendered* | Does not pay Sales Tax |
| No Diagnostic Report (Bericht) necessary | To have it paid by the Insurance, it Requires I write a Diagnostic Report (“Bericht”) & other paperwork to Insurance company, letting them know the Diagnosis & reasoning behind it. (irrelevant at this time, I do not currently accept payment by insurance companies) |
| Includes Email Between Sessions | Does not include email between sessions |
| Requires very little, if any, paperwork | Requires Client send in paperwork to Insurance, to have it paid for. |
*Sales Tax or Mehrwertsteuer, usually abbreviated to MwSt, is the German for “VAT”. It is 19% in Germany.
