Couples Therapy in Berlin Friedrichshain
In my private practice in Berlin I support couples working through conflict, disconnection, infidelity, communication breakdowns, and all the complexities that relationships come with. My approach is grounded in attachment theory – helping you understand and shift the emotional patterns that shape your relationship.
I embrace inclusivity, respecting various lifestyle choices, sexualities, and monogamous and non-monogamous relationship models. I often work with clients where one or both partners are queer and/or neurodivergent.
What to expect
My aim is to facilitate mutual understanding and improvement of relationship dynamics and intimacy.
Typically, we would first meet to get to know each other other, talk about what your relationship is like for you, what works, what doesn’t, what struggles are you facing. We would then meet one on one, just once, so that I can get to know you and your personal side a little better, and start gaining awareness of any traumas, sensitivities, experiences and history that might be part of the equation.
We would then continue meeting all together, working through the old patterns that might be affecting your wellbeing and mental health, helping you grow and heal and.
Therapy duration
How long does the process take is a question impossible to answer. For some couples just a few sessions are enough to get through a block or shift a pattern they had been struggling with for years, for others it takes a while. In my experience, this can’t necessarily be predicted by the intensity or frequency of conflicts you’ll come with.
If a shorter term intervention, learning new strategies and practical tools is what you prefer, we can discuss this at the start and aim for that. However, considering the complexities relationships come with, it will still take more that one or two sessions to understand your needs and achieve real change.
Couples therapy intensives
If time or scheduling constraints are in the way of committing to regular meetings, or if there is an acute situation to address, instead of regular weekly or bi-weekly sessions I can offer more condensed, time efficient approach.
