Online Gestalt Counseling for Greater Clarity and Inner Freedom
Sometimes we understand a lot about our problems but still can’t seem to make any progress. Gestalt therapy starts where change actually begins: with what you’re experiencing right now—your feelings, thoughts, bodily sensations, and relationship patterns.

Gestalt Therapy and Depth Psychology
My name is Aris Hägermann. I am a licensed psychological psychotherapist with many years of experience in depth psychology-based psychotherapy and trauma therapy. I completed my training in Gestalt therapy from 2000 to 2004, and it continues to shape my therapeutic approach to this day. This approach is rooted in Gestalt therapy.
The focus is on what emerges in the here and now: in your feelings, your body awareness, and in the connection between us. A depth psychological understanding helps clarify how today’s patterns have emerged from past relationship experiences. Where old wounds continue to have an impact today, I work in a trauma-sensitive manner: gently, in a way that provides stability, and at your own pace. In my experience, the relationship between us matters more than the method alone. This means we don’t just stop at talking about problems; it changes how you relate to yourself and others.
Online consultations: secure and location-independent
We’ll meet in a secure virtual consultation room that belongs only to you and me. Online Gestalt counseling takes place via secure video conferencing, without you having to come to my office.
Online Gestalt counseling requires very little: a stable internet connection and a place where you won’t be disturbed. People trying online Gestalt counseling for the first time are often surprised at how quickly the conversation feels personal. In my experience, online individual counseling is just as confidential as in-person sessions.
Here's How Online Counseling Sessions Work
The format is the same as for an in-person session: the same level of confidentiality, the same set time, and the same preparation. This service is psychological counseling, not psychotherapy. Where the The Difference Between Counseling and Psychotherapy is covered in a separate article.
Gestalt counseling costs: Fixed fees, no need to apply to health insurance, and no waiting period to be assigned a spot through health insurance. The same rates apply to online counseling sessions.

Good to KnowLearn MoreClose
What does „initial consultation“ mean?
The initial consultation is a 50- or 90-minute counseling session for which a fee is charged. We’ll get to know each other and begin working on your concerns right away. Afterward, you can decide whether you’d like to schedule additional sessions.
Do I need to book a package afterward?
You can choose to have just one session or book additional sessions individually. A package is another option if you've decided to have multiple sessions. It begins after the initial session, which is billed separately.
How do I prepare?
You don't need to write anything out in detail. If you'd like, you can jot down what's on your mind and what you hope to get out of the conversation. For the video call, you'll need a quiet place, a stable internet connection, and a camera and microphone.
What does the counseling agreement cover?
Before your first paid session, you will receive information regarding services, fees, payment, canceling appointments, and confidentiality. The agreement also explains how personal data is handled and how the relationship is terminated. You will decide on additional sessions and packages separately.
Does health insurance cover the costs?
This counseling service is available to self-paying clients. I do not bill health insurance for this service.
Client Testimonials
„I found Mr. Hägermann to be clear, direct, compassionate, and encouraging. What I appreciated most was that I was never pressured.“
Norman · Read the entire post
„Working with Mr. Hägermann was incredibly meaningful to me. During a difficult time in my life, I felt safe and supported right from the start. That sense of security allowed me to open up, confront my issues, and accept all aspects of myself more fully. I found Mr. Hägermann to be clear, direct, compassionate, and encouraging. What was especially valuable was that I was never pressured, but instead received gentle guidance on where it was worth looking. This has had a lasting impact on how I treat myself and how I relate to others. I always felt that he was right there by my side. I’m just so incredibly grateful for that!“
„Working with Mr. Hägermann was always very pleasant, but also challenging.“
Björn · Read the entire post
„Working with Mr. Hägermann was always very pleasant, but also challenging. He carefully approached the problem I’d been carrying inside me for years and ultimately brought it to light, so that I can now lead a life that isn’t entirely worry-free, but one in which I can understand and, above all, protect my inner child. The EMDR method that Mr. Hägermann used with me helped me a great deal. After each session, I was always very shaken up, but even then, the therapist knew how to guide me so that I could end the session with positive thoughts after all. I am very grateful to this wonderful person and therapist, because it has transformed the way I see the world. Thank you, Mr. Hägermann.“
