Couple therapy –
Support with relationship and
Conflict issues
In couples therapy, I support couples with communication difficulties, recurring conflicts, or emotional distance.
Often, the focus is not on individual people, but on the dynamics between them. The goal of couples therapy is to identify entrenched patterns, promote mutual understanding, and develop new ways of structuring the relationship.
Couples therapy can be helpful for:
-
ongoing disputes
-
Communication problems
-
emotional distance
-
Challenges in raising children
-
differing ideas about finance and responsibility
-
Stress caused by work-related stress
-
Role distribution in everyday life
-
breaches of trust or jealousy
-
differing expectations in the relationship
-
Topics related to closeness, intimacy, and sexuality
-
Thoughts of separation or decision-making processes
-
Transitional phases such as the birth of a child, career changes, or family upheavals
Relationships often come under pressure, especially during times of change.
What was previously taken for granted now needs to be renegotiated.
Together we create a safe environment to address conflicts constructively, better understand mutual needs and develop sustainable solutions.
The goal is not to assign blame – but to make clarity, connection and stability possible again.
The initial consultation serves to provide mutual orientation and to clarify the further procedure.
Many couples also use couples therapy to consciously develop their relationship or to cope with difficult phases together.
An everyday example
Many couples experience situations like this:
A conversation begins with something trivial – for example, the division of everyday tasks – and suddenly escalates into an argument about completely different topics. Both partners feel misunderstood, withdraw, or react with accusations.
Often, such moments are not just about the specific situation, but about deeper needs for understanding, closeness, or appreciation.
Couples therapy can help to better recognize these patterns and develop new ways of interacting with each other.
Procedure and framework of couples therapy

We can arrange an appointment for an initial consultation by phone or email.
During the initial consultation, we get to know each other better and clarify what problems and concerns exist for the therapy.
We will discuss the general conditions and you can get an idea of me and my working methods.
After that, we will decide together on further cooperation.
Even during the initial consultation, legal confidentiality applies (§15 Psychotherapy Act). This means that everything you share with me will be treated confidentially.

What does "under supervision" mean?
As a psychotherapist in training under supervision (iAuS), I am in the final phase of my psychotherapeutic training.
During this phase, the therapeutic work is to be regularly reflected upon anonymously with experienced psychotherapists.
This supervision supports careful and responsible therapeutic work and serves to ensure quality.
