But between training requirements, cantonal authorizations, and daily organization, it’s easy to get lost. This is why in this article we guide you through the __7 key steps to follow in order to open a psychotherapy practice in Switzerland.__  [Discover OneDoc Hub for simplified administration in your new practice](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/) ## Step 1: Requirements for practicing psychotherapy The title of psychotherapist is protected in Switzerland. You therefore need to obtain a recognized university degree, postgraduate training, and the necessary authorization to practice in your canton. ### What studies are required to become a psychotherapist in Switzerland? Psychotherapist training includes several stages: 1. __Basic studies in psychology__: bachelor then master’s degree from a recognized university or higher education institution. 2. __Choice of psychotherapeutic orientation__: CBT, systemic, psychodynamic, humanistic, integrative, etc. 3. __Postgraduate psychotherapy training__ in an accredited institute. 4. __Clinical experience__ in an institution (hospital, outpatient center, specialized services). 5. __Obtaining the federal title of psychotherapist__ (or equivalent recognition depending on the case). 6. Application for a __license to practice__ a healthcare profession. ### What are the required authorizations for psychotherapists? To obtain a practice authorization, you must __apply to the canton where you wish to practice__. In general, you can find all necessary information on your canton’s health service website. Once the application is submitted, you will often need to provide the following __documents__: - Copies of __diplomas__ and postgraduate training certificates - Proof of __clinical experience__ - Detailed __CV__ - Extract from the __criminal record__ - Proof of __professional liability insurance__ ### Prerequisites for billing via LAMal Since the introduction of the __prescription model in 2022__, if you want to bill the AOS, you must be registered in the healthcare provider system. This includes obtaining [__an RCC number__](https://www.sasis.ch/register/antraege/) [(via SASIS)](https://www.sasis.ch/fr/registres/demande/), a __GLN__, and a __UID__. Here is an overview: - __The RCC number__ is the official identifier of healthcare professionals. - __The UID number__ is a general identifier for companies in Switzerland. - __The GLN__ (Global Location Number) is used for your unique identification in various registers. These administrative requirements ensure that your practice is properly registered and that your services can be billed. Note that according to __Article 50*c* OAMal__, you must also demonstrate a minimum of __three years__ of prior __psychotherapeutic experience__ in psychotherapeutic and psychiatric care under the supervision of a qualified professional. ## Step 2: Establish a business plan for your practice Even if you don’t love numbers, it’s useful to consider your future practice as an __entrepreneurial project__. This includes a market analysis, information about your activity, location, target group, and financing. This is essential, especially if you plan to apply for a bank loan. Before drafting it, you can ask yourself the following questions: - Do you want to work __alone or in a group practice__? - Do you want to work in a __large city__ (Geneva, Lausanne…) or a more __rural area__? - Will your future __psychotherapy practice__ be general or oriented towards specific groups: adolescents, couples, trauma? This initial reflection will help you define the size of your practice, the choice of canton, expected income… and therefore __the viability of your project__!  [Develop your own business plan with our dedicated article](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/independent-practice/business-plan-medical-practice-switzerland/) ## Step 3: Choose the appropriate legal structure for your practice In Switzerland, many psychotherapy practices start as a __sole proprietorship__: it’s simple to set up, low-cost, and suitable for solo work. Over time, if you develop a __group practice__ or hire staff, it may be relevant to [__switch to another legal form such as a GmbH (Sàrl) or AG (SA)__](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/all-specialties/legal-form-medical-practice/) to better protect your personal assets and structure collaboration with colleagues.  #### OneDoc Pro integrates easily with your practice software.

It is advisable to consult the bank early enough and, if needed, seek tax or financial advice. This allows for optimal planning and avoiding unpleasant surprises. ####  OneDoc Tip: Fill your calendar even before opening your practice! To ensure you don’t start at a loss, offer [OneDoc online appointment booking](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/online-booking/)! This way, patients can book time slots in advance for your opening day! ## Step 5: Find and set up your psychotherapy practice ### Choose an accessible location The location of your future practice is important. Being present in a major city like Lausanne or Geneva makes it easy for patients to consult you onsite, but rental costs will be higher than in rural areas. Ideally, your practice should be: - __Easily accessible__ by public transport - Preferably close to other healthcare professionals (to encourage exchanges and [referrals](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/referral/)) ####  OneDoc Tip: Also offer remote consultations Sometimes, your patients simply cannot come to you (anxiety, reduced mobility, relocation). [Teleconsultation](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/visio/teleconsultation-module/) allows you to offer high-quality support even remotely! Teleconsultation can also be a major advantage when opening your practice. By offering some consultations via videoconference, you can __reduce your startup costs__, for example by renting a practice fewer days per week or sharing a space with other professionals. ### Create a space that feels comfortable Interior design plays a major role in the patient’s well-being. Opt for: - A warm consultation room with __good acoustics__ and soft lighting - __Comfortable furniture__ (armchairs, sofa…) - A simple but reassuring __waiting room__ - Pay attention to __sound confidentiality__ as well (well-insulated doors, background noise, etc.) The goal is to create a place where you feel good, because this also helps patients feel safe. ## Step 6: Billing, fees and income in an independent practice In your practice, you have three billing methods: via mandatory health insurance (AOS, with medical prescription), via supplementary insurance, or directly with private patients. Many supplementary insurances reduce their coverage, so it is recommended to clarify before therapy begins whether and how it is covered. ### What is the salary of a psychotherapist? Income depends heavily on your workload, fee system, and ongoing costs. A well-managed practice with a stable client base and realistic expenses can generate a solid income. In Switzerland, psychotherapists earn __approximately between 100,000 and 122,000 CHF per year__. Keep in mind that the first year may involve fluctuations and planning uncertainties. Adjust your business plan accordingly. ## Step 7: Attract your first patients and grow your psychotherapy practice You may have the most beautiful practice in the world—if no one knows it exists, the momentum will remain fragile. That’s why you need to [gain visibility](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/needs/increase-visibility/). ### Build your online visibility: website, presence on platforms Today, many patients begin their care journey by __typing their problem into Google__ or searching for a psychotherapist near them. To increase the chances that they find you in these searches, you can implement: - An up-to-date [__Google Business Profile__](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/all-specialties/how-to-create-google-business-profile-for-healthcare-professionals/) (address, hours, photos, online booking link) - A clear __website__ showing your approaches, specializations, consultation languages, and availability - A [__profile on a platform like OneDoc__](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/onedoc-profile/) to appear higher on Google and enable [online appointment booking](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/online-booking/) ### Rely on your professional network Building a cooperative network with doctors, other therapists, and institutions can generate patient [referrals](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/referral/). Joining professional associations can also help make your practice known and build trust. It also simplifies the patient care pathway. ## Build a psychotherapy practice that reflects you Opening a __psychotherapy practice in Switzerland__ requires time, energy, and a significant amount of administrative work. With a clear plan, rigorous preparation, and a realistic understanding of legal, administrative, and economic aspects, you give yourself the best chance of launching a practice that is both viable and aligned with your way of supporting patients!
