When
These relationships carry history, expectations, and emotional weight, at times also recurring conflict and repeated emotional hurt. At the same time, these relationships evolve over time as people grow and change, which can lead to uncertainty, misunderstandings, or ongoing tension.
What
The focus is on understanding the underlying patterns shaping your relationship and working through the emotional dynamics and tensions between you. We also clarify expectations and needs, and develop ways of relating that feel more stable and constructive in everyday interactions.
How
We begin relationship work in families and friendships with a comprehensive initial assessment. This includes a joint session, an individual session for each person involved, and the completion of a detailed questionnaire to understand which topics and types of support are best suited to you. After this, sessions usually take place together with everyone involved. If it is helpful for your situation, we will continue to integrate individual sessions as needed. Group sessions are generally held in person at my practice in Frankfurt. Upon request, sessions may also be held online. The number and frequency of sessions depend on your situation and are agreed upon together after the initial assessment.
