Free introductory callPractical arrangements
- All counselling takes place online. The free introductory conversation is available online or by phone.
- Packages are optional and you can always book individual appointments.
- Pay by bank transfer before the appointment or by arrangement when booking a package.
- Package period: 4 months for three sessions (3er-Paket) and 6 months for five sessions (5er-Paket), from the agreed start date.
- Personal matters are treated with confidentiality and respect.
All amounts are final prices. Package prices cover all sessions included. The saving is compared with the same number of individual sessions at 130 € each. Counselling is a private self-pay service.
An enquiry is non-binding and does not create a paid booking. There is no automatic renewal. The agreed package period is 4 months for the three-session option (3er-Paket) and 6 months for the five-session option (5er-Paket), from the start date agreed together. We confirm the start date and scheduling before you book. This does not establish an automatic expiry of paid, unused sessions. Statutory rights of withdrawal, termination and other claims remain unaffected.
Appointments are arranged in advance. Please cancel by email at least 48 hours before an appointment. There is no automatic cancellation charge. Personal conversations are not recorded.

Four ways to explore your story and what matters to you today.
Explore my approachFinding your way back to yourself
You should be able to see how our conversations begin and what guides us as we continue. Your concerns and choices set the direction.
We agree on the order, focus and number of conversations based on what you need. We arrange further appointments individually or as part of a package we agree on together.
Arriving and getting to know each other
A first conversation without obligation, where you can tell me what is on your mind. We see whether we connect and whether my approach fits what you need. Then you can take your time deciding whether you want more conversations.
A question for this stage
Do we connect, and does my approach to counselling feel right for what you need?
Understanding your own story
We look at important chapters of your life, formative experiences, family structures and recurring behaviour. You choose what to bring into the conversation. You can leave out the details of difficult experiences.
A question for this stage
Which chapters of your life, experiences and recurring patterns would you like to bring?
Making connections
Together we look at the beliefs, expectations and inner conflicts you carry. We also notice where your own needs slip out of view and what is on your mind today.
A question for this stage
Which beliefs, expectations and inner conflicts stay with me? Where do I lose sight of my own needs?
Developing fresh perspectives
We work with self-awareness, self-worth, boundaries, your personal resources and new ways to respond. We consider different perspectives and talk through manageable steps that fit your life. You decide what to try.
A question for this stage
Which needs and boundaries would you like to notice more clearly, and what ways of responding fit your daily life?
Finding your footing on your own path
The focus is on using what you have learnt in everyday life, noticing your progress and developing more self-determination over time. We look at what helps and how you want to move forward. You decide whether to arrange further sessions, pause or end our work together.
A question for this stage
What insights can you take into daily life, what progress do you notice and how would you like to continue?
Clarity at the start and end of each conversation.
We agree at the start on what matters to you today. At the end, we can summarise what you want to take with you and what could come next.
The introductory conversation is free and takes 20 minutes. Further individual sessions take 60 minutes and cost 130 € at the final price. You decide whether to book more appointments.
Fees and arranging appointments ↗Private counselling,
paid for by you.
My counselling is a private self-pay service. It is not billed through German statutory health insurance.
I completed training in child, youth and family coaching, with 450 teaching units and a passed final examination. More about my qualifications ↗
I am not a psychotherapist and do not offer psychotherapy, medical diagnosis or treatment. My work does not replace medical, psychotherapeutic or psychiatric treatment.
If you are under severe psychological strain or are experiencing the effects of trauma that need treatment, appropriate professional care is important. Please contact a medical practice or qualified psychotherapy or psychiatric professionals.
I offer complementary personal counselling and support to adult women outside clinical care. Existing professional care remains important and is not replaced by counselling.

Here is how we arrange appointments, how payment works and how personal information is handled.
- Appointments by prior arrangement
- We agree and confirm the date, time and format in advance. A contact enquiry does not create a paid booking.
- Payment by bank transfer
- Payment is made by bank transfer before the appointment. For packages, the payment arrangements agreed in advance apply. You receive the bank details and due date with the separate agreement or invoice before making a binding booking.
- Cancelling or rescheduling: 48 hours
- Please email at least 48 hours before the agreed start time to info@tanja-menzel.com to cancel or ask to reschedule. If something comes up at shorter notice, let me know as early as you can. There is no automatic cancellation charge. There is no cancellation fee for the free introductory conversation. Details and statutory rights.
- Conversations are not recorded
- I do not record personal counselling conversations. Automatic transcription, AI recording and AI analysis of conversations are not part of counselling. Please do not make any audio or video recordings yourself.
- Confidential handling of personal information
- I treat personal information confidentially and only use it as necessary for the agreed purposes. It is only shared where there is an appropriate legal basis. You can find details in the privacy notice. This site sends enquiries over HTTPS. Please use the contact form only to arrange an appointment.
- Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet
- By prior arrangement, we can use Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet for online conversations. Before your appointment, we agree on the service, access details, equipment and additional privacy information. This website does not embed a video service.
Choose a quiet, private place for our online conversation if possible. You can ask questions, request a break or leave topics out. If you prefer to leave your camera off, we can discuss the arrangements in advance.
