What to expect in Couples Counselling with me
Together, we create a space where you are truly heard. Your exchange can be loud and gentle, joyful and teary, angry and loving.
Instead of avoiding conflicts or getting lost in them, you can experience how to use them as an opportunity for growth and genuine connection.
Difficult topics are brought to the table, and with my guidance, you examine them together as a team.
Wishes and expectations are expressed and openly negotiated.
The agreements you make are no longer miserable compromises but conscious, joint decisions about how you want to treat each other.
“Only by showing yourself completely can you know that you are truly loved.”
Where are you at in your relationship?
Rose-Colored Glasses
You’re still in the freshly-in-love phase, showing each other mainly your best sides. Occasionally, there are little things that annoy you about your partner, but you prefer not to bring them up. Sexual desires or expectations that feel embarrassing remain unspoken. You try to avoid falling into old relationship patterns, yet often keep silent about how you really feel.
House on Fire
The house is burning and at the same time, the fire has gone out. You get stuck in the same frustrating discussions, and the sex isn’t what it used to be. When you talk to each other, it's mainly about the everyday organizational stuff and mutual blame. You both don't feel seen and don’t know the way out. You want to change something but don’t konw how.
War of Roses
You've tried everything – or not – but in any case, separation is on the table. The wounds run deep. You both carry a heavy file full of accusations against the other with you. Just thinking about them, you get angry and your blood starts to boil. Or you sink into sadness and depression. The memory of beautiful moments is buried under a thick layer of mud.

What can you use Couples Counselling for?
Honestly getting to know each other
Give yourselves an honest start in the new relationship. How would it be to do things differently this time, and start by putting all the cards on the table? No pretending! Instead of using your energy to present a beautiful facade, what if you showed yourself, with everything that entails? If it sounds scary, that’s because it is. And above all, it leads to a real, deep connection in which you can be true to yourself. I will support you along the way, giving you tools to use for the long term.
Be connected and free, together
You want to get out of the hamster wheel you've been stuck in, and you're ready to watch and listen, even if it hurts. I’ll moderate your conversations so that you each have space to communicate. You’ll practice getting specific and differentiating between reality and imagination. Instead of going directly to the counterattack, you’ll learn to first stick with yourself and express what comes up. You’ll have the chance to meet anew - and maybe even fall in love again.
Separate with love
Even during or after a breakup, it can be valuable to sit down together and share honestly. When you work on the hurt and get to a point where you can forgive the other, that is something that benefits yourself as well.
Consciously working through the separation is worthwhile. If you have children or friends together, it makes the given interactions easier. And even if you don't have any encounters anymore, you will not continue carrying a pile of unresolved baggage with you.
FAQ
-
In a session, we talk openly about your issues, concerns, and dynamics. I guide you through questions, exercises, or reflections so that you can better understand each other and gain new perspectives.
-
It depends on your specific situation. Some couples schedule only a few sessions, while others want to be accompanied over a longer period of time. Often, 4-8 sessions are enough to initiate noticeable changes.
The individual sessions last 90 minutes.
-
The costs depend on the format – whether individual sessions are booked or if packages with multiple appointments are chosen. Couples counselling is generally a private service and is not covered by health insurance. The details of the prices can be found on the page “Prices Couples Counselling”.

In my practice in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, Hagenauer Str. 16
-
Yes, online counselling via video is possible. It is usually experienced as being just as effective as an in-person conversation.
-
No. Many couples come because they want to develop further, work proactively, or strengthen their relationship — all without being in a crisis.
-
Then you’re exactly in the right place. I support you to break out of stuck patterns, reconnect authentically, and find ways to better listen to and understand each other.
-
Even then, counselling is worthwhile – not necessarily to save the relationship, but to gain clarity and find a mindful way to interact with each other. It’s about making conscious decisions – together or apart.
-
Conversations form the foundation of our work – at the same time, it can be helpful to experience things practically as well. Depending on the topic and what suits you, I offer exercises, for example, on communication, perception, or mindful touch. Body-oriented elements are possible, but always voluntary and well integrated. You decide what feels right for you.
-
Yes. All relationship forms are welcome, including relationships with more than two people. I work with what feels right for you.
