View profileHumanistic therapy, also called humanistic or person-centred therapy, offers a reflective and non-judgemental space where the person is seen as more than a set of symptoms. This approach focuses on lived experience, self-awareness, emotional honesty, personal meaning, values, autonomy and the capacity for growth.
It may be helpful for people dealing with self-esteem, identity questions, meaning and purpose, life transitions, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, emotional crises or a sense of disconnection from oneself. It can also support people who feel they have spent too long adapting to others, suppressing their needs or living according to expectations that no longer feel right.
In sessions, the therapist offers empathy, authenticity and acceptance. The work is usually collaborative rather than directive. The therapist may reflect emotions, ask clarifying questions, notice patterns, or help the client stay with important feelings instead of avoiding them. The aim is not simply to remove symptoms, but to help the person understand themselves more clearly and make choices that feel more authentic.
Humanistic therapy often explores deeper questions about identity, freedom, responsibility, relationships and life direction. A person may begin therapy because of stress, sadness or conflict, but discover that the work also involves values, purpose, boundaries, self-trust and the kind of life they want to build.
This approach may also support relationship issues, communication difficulties, people-pleasing, shame, loneliness, cultural adjustment or major decisions. Depending on the therapist’s training, it may be integrated with Gestalt therapy, psychodynamic therapy, integrative therapy or mindfulness-based work.
Humanistic therapy may be a good fit for people looking for a warm, reflective and meaning-oriented therapy that takes their subjective experience seriously. It does not replace emergency support, diagnosis or specialist medical care when risk is present, but it can offer a professional space to strengthen self-awareness, self-acceptance and personal direction.
Berlin is one of Europe’s most international cities, and many residents look for humanistic therapy in English or in another language they feel at home in. The therapist follows your pace and focuses on listening and understanding rather than on techniques or advice.
You can look for a therapist who works in English, German, Russian or Ukrainian; each profile lists the languages spoken. Private health insurance and some expat policies reimburse part of private sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification, so it is worth checking your contract before you start. On each profile you can check the approach, the languages, the session format and the fee before you book.

A supportive, empathic approach focused on growth, values and self-understanding.
Your therapist will adapt the pace and focus of sessions to your needs, goals, and current situation.
Humanistic / Person-Centred Therapy is often used for concerns such as Identity questions, Life transitions, Meaning & purpose, Relationship issues, and Self-esteem.
The therapy page also shows which therapists on MIT currently offer this approach.
A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.
This depends on your goals, the complexity of what you are dealing with, and how structured the approach is. Some people use this therapy for short-term focused work, while others stay longer for deeper change.
Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.
Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €80–€140 per session.
Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.
A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.
Yes. MIT profiles can include direct messaging, and therapists can also activate online booking when available.
This helps patients ask practical questions before committing to a first session.
That is very common. You can start by contacting a therapist, explaining what you are struggling with, and asking whether this approach fits your goals.
If no therapist is listed yet for this therapy, you can still explore related approaches and pathologies on the site.
Both are possible, depending on the therapist. Some therapists on My International Therapy receive clients in person in Berlin, others work online by secure video, and many offer both. Each profile shows the formats offered. Online sessions are also a way to keep the same therapist if you move or travel.
Yes. Many therapists in the network work in English, and others in German, Russian, Ukrainian and further languages. You can browse English-speaking, German-speaking, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking therapists in Berlin, and every profile lists the languages spoken.
Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common. Many international residents therefore start with a private therapist and pay directly. Private health insurance and some supplementary or expat policies reimburse part of the sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification: check your contract. Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.
Each therapist sets their own fee, which is shown on their profile. As a guide, most individual approaches on this site are listed between €80 and €180 per session, couples and family therapy between €120 and €220, and coaching, career counselling or parenting support between €70 and €130. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes.
Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger, call 112. The Telefonseelsorge offers free, anonymous support 24/7 on 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222.
The relationship with your therapist matters as much as the method. Compare profiles for the approach used, the topics they work with, the languages, the format and the fee. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you are going through and we will suggest therapists who suit your needs. The first session is also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
