Couples Therapy

Being in a relationship means constantly negotiating between your and your partner's needs, desires, and expectations. Those may change (within time, new events and transitions), leading to disagreements, fights, feelings of disconnection, inability to communicate, and even affairs. 
 

In a crisis situation, partners are hurting, trying to change each other or at the edge of giving up on the relationship. The most prominent feelings are disappointment, frustration, sadness, resentment, fear, and anger. Other couples avoid conflicts and an atmosphere of alienation, silence and disconnection overwhelms their relationship. The recognition of each other’s emotional needs and difficulties that underlie the behavioural patterns would be the first step to interrupt the cycle of hurt and pain.
 

I have been working both with heterosexual and homosexual couples, with a basic understanding that each partnership is unique. Couples should feel free to design whatever contract works for them. Many times, we need to reevaluate, discuss, and renegotiate those contracts and this can be challenging.
 

If you and your partner are experiencing difficulties, therapy may improve communication, helping you to talk and listen to each other in a positive, carrying and productive way. In my experience, relationships can get reenergised and flourish once open communication channels are established. 

How does couples therapy work?

Similar to individual counseling, we’ll begin with the first few sessions exploring your relationship history and current issues to get a clearer picture of what’s going on. These 45-minute sessions are €121 (incl. VAT), though we can extend sessions up to 90 minutes if needed—just let me know what feels right for you. From there, I’ll provide recommendations on how we can proceed.

Should we both come together to our meetings?

Yes! The focus of our work is your relationship and you both need to be present at the sessions. This guarantees that you both will be equally listened to. 

Common issues:

I see couples who are struggling with:

 

  • adaptation and relationship difficulties;

  • lack of, or ineffective communication;

  • bi-cultural couples facing the impact of cultural differences and relocation on their relationship;

  • considering and negotiating “opening” the relationship;

  • dealing with cheating and affairs;

  • parenting or co-parenting issues;

  • divorce and separation.
