I offer counselling for couples in English at my practice in Freising.
What is counselling for couples?
When a relationship or marriage is under strain, counselling offers a secure environment in which both partners can explore and express underlying emotions, needs and fears.
Clearer communication can help you understand the patterns that keep a conflict going, rebuild emotional connection and approach difficult issues in a different way.
When can counselling help?
Couple counselling may be helpful when you experience
- repeated arguments or communication breakdown,
- emotional distance or withdrawal,
- sexual difficulties,
- trust that has been damaged by affairs, debts or secrets,
- depression, tension, health problems or other pressures on the relationship,
- uncertainty about staying together or separating.
Counselling can be beneficial to couples of all ages and at any stage of life. It is not a magic cure: meaningful change requires a willingness to look at your own experience and your contribution to the relationship.
Sometimes the outcome is a stronger and more connected relationship. Sometimes it is a clearer and more respectful ending where separation is appropriate.
How I work
My integrative approach includes Systemic Therapy, Integrative Behavioural Couple Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy. The work can help you
- understand what happens inside you and between you and your partner,
- recognise the impact you have on one another,
- communicate feelings and needs without blame,
- discuss difficult issues in ways that support safety and connection,
- develop new ways of responding to recurring situations.
Everything discussed is strictly confidential and handled with warmth, care and sensitivity.
