What brings couples to therapy
The problem is often not the absence of love, but the loss of contact
Therapy helps slow down recurring conflict, hear both partners and understand what is hidden behind distance, anger or silence.
Distance and loneliness
You live side by side but emotional or physical closeness is disappearing.
Trust after a rupture
Infidelity, secrecy or a painful event has changed the relationship.
Different expectations
Views on family, parenting, money, sexuality or the future no longer align.
Separation or divorce
You need to make a decision or pass through separation with less destruction.
Family transitions
Parenthood, relocation, illness or changing roles place new pressure on the relationship.
Couples therapy is not a search for who is right. It is a chance to see what happens between you.
The process
A shared working process
First contact
You briefly describe the situation and arrange a joint meeting.
A common picture
Each person is heard and the central difficulty is clarified.
New forms of dialogue
You learn to notice the familiar cycle and speak about needs more directly.
Review and decisions
You assess change and decide together how to continue.
