Couples therapy/
couples therapy

Every relationship goes through highs and lows. Sometimes there are phases when communication breaks down, intimacy is lost, or old conflicts keep resurfacing. In such times, couples therapy can be a valuable step to reassess, understand, and potentially reconnect on a shared path.

In my couples therapy sessions, I guide you through addressing the challenges you’re currently facing openly and without pressure. The process is process- oriented —meaning we explore what the right path is for you both as a couple and as individuals. Together, we’ll examine what works, what doesn’t, and what each of you needs to feel comfortable and fulfilled.

​

Here are some areas you might find enriching:

​

  • Learn how to actively create a harmonious and fulfilling relationship

  • Leverage individual and partnership strengths for a deeper connection

  • Break through entrenched patterns and improve your communication

  • Overcome large and small challenges together as a couple

  • Rediscover a fulfilling sexual relationship and strengthen your intimacy

​​

​

Schedule your session:

  • by yourself or with your partner

  • Online or in the Düsseldorf / Cologne area

  • In English or German

Fee

An individual counselling session typically lasts 60 minutes and costs 125 Euros.

Why couples therapy or
couples counselling?

Couples therapy is a first step toward a deeper connection and better understanding of each other.

If you feel stuck in your relationship or find yourselves repeating the same conflicts, therapy can help you gain new perspectives and improve communication.

It provides a safe space where you can openly express your feelings and needs. Together, you can break old patterns, rebuild trust, and relearn how to truly understand one another.

Couples therapy helps you rediscover the love and closeness that existed at the beginning of your relationship and establish a more fulfilling and harmonious foundation for your partnership.
