Couples Therapy
Every relationship goes through ups and downs, and sometimes we reach a point where we no longer know how to move forward. The issues addressed in couples therapy are as diverse as the relationships themselves. Often, it’s about finding a healthy balance between:
- giving and receiving,
- closeness and distance,
- leading and following,
- independence and attachment, or
- stability and change.
These dynamics can be challenging in any relationship—especially when they lead to a sense of stagnation or emotional deadlock.
As a couples therapist, I want to support you in reflecting on your relationship and finding new ways forward together. Many issues can be addressed in couples therapy, including persistent conflicts, challenges related to sexuality and trust, or topics such as separation and reconciliation. I also support you with empathy, understanding, and guidance in navigating parenthood or dealing with difficult times as a couple.
Your goals in couples therapy – Finding your way back to each other
The aim of couples therapy is to strengthen the connection between you and your partner by helping you better understand one another and communicate your needs and desires openly. Through a person-centered approach, you are given the space to define your relationship on your own terms and decide together how you want to shape it. It’s about gaining clarity:
What would you like your partner to understand—something that has not yet been heard or acknowledged?
Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) takes this a step further by focusing on the emotional needs and attachments that play a central role in your relationship. This approach explores emotional wounds and unresolved conflicts that often lie deep within our feelings and experiences. By addressing and understanding these underlying emotions, we can build deeper emotional bonds and break through destructive patterns that strain the relationship. The goal is for both partners to better understand themselves and to express this understanding. Please note that couples therapy is not considered a medical service and is therefore not covered by health insurance.
