Couples Therapy

Couples decide to seek counseling or therapy for different reasons:

  • If you want to get a holistic overview of the strengths and development areas of your relationship - Prepare-Enrich: Relationship assessment 
  • If one partner (or both) feels they are missing out 
  • If they are tired of arguing or can't argue properly with each other 
  • If they are living like this and have the feeling that the fire of their love has gone out or has not yet been properly discovered 
  • If they don't feel like it or if third parties interfere 
  • When they are torn between old and new family 
  • When illness, death, unemployment or other changes demand a transition to a new phase of life  
  • If they are unsure whether they want to continue the relationship or separate 
  • If they want to say goodbye to each other in a good way so that they can move freely into a new relationship 
  • If they want to take good care of their children as parents, even if they are no longer a couple. 

Perhaps some of these examples also apply to you, or perhaps you would like to make use of couples counseling for another reason.

 

I am happy to put my professionalism as a systemic couples therapist and my life experience at your disposal so that you can make progress with your concerns in an atmosphere of mutual respect and through my attitude of acceptance, appreciation and impartiality.

Modalities

 

I can either work with you alone as a couple or in a team with a colleague. Team counseling is often very helpful, especially if your perspectives or counseling goals are very different.

 

The first session lasts approx. 100 minutes (2 units). The follow-up sessions last on average 1.5 to 3 units and are charged according to the actual time spent.

If you wish to limit the follow-up sessions to a maximum of 2 units, this is also possible.

Open sessions have the advantage that we can deal with your issues without time pressure.

 

So that you can try out and implement suggestions from the consultation, the intervals between sessions are usually 2 to 4 weeks. Shorter and longer intervals can also be useful.

 

Occasionally, additional individual sessions with one of the partners can also be helpful.

 

If it is more suitable for your family situation, counseling can also take place in your home.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to arrange an initial appointment.
