When
It is helpful when communication becomes difficult, trust has been broken, conflicts repeat and are emotionally straining, the transition into parenthood or other life changes put pressure on your relationship and lead to uncertainty.
What
The focus is on creating a stable and secure foundation, understanding the patterns shaping your relationship, and helping you respond to each other in new ways in your daily life. This includes addressing emotional reactions and tensions between you. With time, those new ways of interacting feel more stable, clear and connected.
How
We begin couples therapy with a comprehensive, scientifically grounded initial assessment. This includes one joint session, one individual session for each partner, 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 both partners. If it is helpful for your situation, we will also continue to integrate individual sessions. Couple sessions are generally held in person at my practice in Frankfurt. Upon request, sessions may also take place virtually. The number and frequency of sessions depend on your situation and are agreed upon together after the initial assessment.
