Fees and policies

What it costs
and how it works

Deciding to start therapy takes courage, and uncertainty about money or rules shouldn’t make it harder. Here you’ll find everything in one place: fees, what to do when you can’t come, and how I protect the privacy and safety of our sessions.

Zdeněk Nový, psychotherapist
  • Clear rules

  • No fine print

  • Your “no” counts

  • What you say stays between us

  • 72 hours to cancel

  • The rules apply to both of us

  • Fees stated up front

You pay for time that is yours alone

The fee depends on whether you come alone or as a couple. The ring shows how much of an hour we spend together. In person in Letná or online, in Czech or English.

How payment works

Always one session ahead

This way your next appointment is secured and you don’t have to sort anything out at the last minute at the end of a session.

  1. Before the first session By bank transfer

    The booking is confirmed once the payment arrives in my account.

  2. At the end of each session In cash for the next one

    You pay in my office right away for the next agreed appointment.

  3. And so it continues Your next appointment is secured

    You’re always paid up one session ahead, no more.

Finances tight right now?

For clients in financial hardship I have a limited number of places at a reduced price. Write to me to ask whether one is available.

Online sessions

Same length and price as in person.

When you can’t come, just let me know

It’s okay that life sometimes doesn’t fit into the calendar. The rules aren’t a punishment; they just say clearly whose responsibility is whose. Try them out on the slider.

When do you apologize?

You apologize 4 days and 12 hours in advance

Free

Just send an SMS, email or message. The amount paid will remain with you for the next appointment.

Why 72 hours? I keep the time you reserve just for you and I cannot offer it to anyone else in a shorter period of time.

You miss a session without notice

I’ll wait for you

I’m in my office for the whole session time. After 15 minutes I may call or text you to check that everything is okay.

I miss a session

Your next session is free

The rules apply to both of us. If I ever miss a scheduled session, your next one is free.

Couples therapy

We start once you’re both here

If one of you is running late, we wait. If one of you can’t come, the session doesn’t take place. The same rule applies: cancel at least 72 hours in advance.

Safety and privacy

What our work together rests on

Therapy only works where you can feel safe. This is what you can always count on from me.

ConfidentialityWhat you share stays between us.

Everything you share during a session is confidential. I won’t share it with anyone else without your express consent.

The only exception: a situation where your life or health, or someone else’s life or health, is at risk.

Your “no” countsYou decide what we talk about and work on.

If you don’t want to talk about a topic, I’ll respect that. You don’t have to explain why.

If I suggest working with the breath, movement or body awareness, it’s an invitation. You can decline any technique, even once we’ve started.

Can I bring someone with me?Would you like to bring someone close to you?

I understand that taking the first step can feel easier with someone close by. Whether their presence would help your work is something I assess case by case.

We’ll always talk it through first and look for the path that supports you best.

Couples therapy always starts with both partnersOnly one of you needs to get in touch.

Only one of you needs to send an inquiry. Couples therapy always begins with a session with both partners.

In couples therapy, we work with the relationship, and both of you make up that relationship. If I spoke with only one of you, the other would lose their voice.

I follow the EABP code of ethics

My practice follows the ethical standards of the European Association for Body Psychotherapy. The code describes what you can expect from a therapist and what you’re entitled to.

Something missing here? Just ask.

I want you to start therapy with a clear head, knowing what to expect. Write to me and I’ll get back to you.

Let’s arrange a first session.

    Everything you write is confidential.
