Introductory call

A first conversation. There is nothing to prepare.

In 20 to 30 minutes we clarify what brings you here, how I work and whether coaching fits. Free and without obligation. In the end you decide, with no pressure to sign up and no follow-up chasing.

What happens in those 20 to 30 minutes

A short conversation with a clear purpose: finding out whether this is right for you.

  1. What brings you here

    In broad terms. You do not have to explain at length or prove anything.

  2. How I work

    So you can judge whether it suits you. That includes what coaching can and cannot do. Honestly, even if the answer is that something else would fit better.

  3. How it could continue

    Format, rhythm, frame and terms. Afterwards you decide in your own time. Nobody will chase you.

What the introductory call is not

It is

  • Free and without obligation
  • An honest check on whether coaching fits you
  • A conversation after which you decide

It is not

  • Not a free coaching session. Twenty minutes is not enough to begin solid work on a concern.
  • Not an assessment. I cannot and may not judge whether ADHD or autism is present.
  • Not a crisis conversation. If things are acutely bad right now, medical or emergency psychiatric services near you are the right route. In an emergency: 144 or 112.

Your enquiry in four short steps

A rough sense is enough, and no health details are needed. I usually reply within a few working days with suggested times.

Step 4 of 4

How can I reach you?

I will reply with suggested times for the introductory call.

A first name is enough.

A few sentences are enough. Health details, diagnostic reports or medical letters are not needed and do not belong in a web form.

  • Free and without obligation
  • 20 to 30 minutes
  • Never passed on to third parties

Under 18s and parents

  • If you are under 18

    You can get in touch yourself. Before any work together begins, the people with parental responsibility for you are involved. Consent, the frame and what is shared with parents are agreed in writing beforehand.

    This is not a formality aimed against you. It means you know where you stand, and nobody can reinterpret things later.

Short questions beforehand

Do I need to prepare for the call?

No. You can talk about what is on your mind, as briefly or in as much detail as suits you. If talking is hard for you, you can also write something down and send it beforehand.

Do I need a diagnosis?

No. A formal diagnosis is not a requirement. Specialising in ADHD and autism shapes how I understand and work, not who is allowed to come. More in the article Do I need a diagnosis before I start coaching?

Will my parents find out what I say?

Not automatically. If you are the client, the conversation is confidential. What parents are told is agreed together at the start. For under 18s this is put in writing before we begin, together with the legal exceptions that apply for safeguarding.

What does coaching cost afterwards?

The terms are discussed openly in the introductory call, before any work together begins. Payment is by invoice before the session. Rates differ for Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

What if I do not want to continue afterwards?

That is fine. You do not have to give a reason, and nobody will chase you.

A bridge changes what is within reach.
