When intimacy is lost: couples therapy in Berlin that takes an honest look

The same conflicts, over and over again. The feeling of talking past each other, or eventually not talking to each other at all. Sometimes a relationship is loud, sometimes it's the silence that's unsettling. Both are signs that something needs attention. As a couples therapist in Berlin, I support you in understanding patterns, making communication possible again, and making conscious decisions for your relationship. Appointments are available on short notice.

There’s never a bad time for couples therapy

Some couples come in the midst of a crisis, others as a precaution. Some want to strengthen their relationship, others need support during a break-up. Couples therapy provides a space for all of this.

Couples therapy that truly reaches both partners.

Conflicts between couples are rarely about the issue being argued over. Behind a dispute about household chores often lies a need for appreciation. Behind withdrawal, there is often a fear of being hurt. My approach: together, we look beneath the surface.

I do not take sides. Both sides are heard. Not to prove who is right, but to be understood. That is the first step from which everything else can develop.

 

Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy

We look at the feelings and needs behind the conflicts, not just the arguments. This changes how you see each other.

 

Systemic perspective

Relationship patterns have a history. Together, we understand how your dynamics developed so that you can consciously change them.

 

Learning to communicate anew

How do you express your opinion without it being perceived as an attack? How do you truly listen? We are working on concrete, immediately applicable changes.

 

Space for both perspectives

Couples therapy is not an arbitration panel. I facilitate a space where both sides can say what has remained unspoken until now.

What you can expect from me

Whoever works with you makes the difference
Therapy is a matter of trust. Before you make your decision, it’s only fair that you know who you’re dealing with: how I think, how I work, and why I chose this profession.
Just get started
Finding a therapy place in Berlin can feel like a daunting task. That’s why I’ve deliberately made it as accessible as possible.

1. Free initial consultation (up to 30 mins)

We get to know each other: in person, over the phone or via video call. You tell me what’s on your mind. I explain how I work. No pressure, no obligation.

2. Diagnosis & setting shared goals

During the first few sessions, we will work together to identify what is troubling you, what you would like to change, and which approach is right for you.

3. Active therapeutic work

We work together – right from the very first session. In a focused and in-depth way. I’ll help you not only to identify difficult feelings, but also to truly transform them.

4. Noticeable change within a reasonable timeframe

In-depth work does not have to go on indefinitely. Clients often experience the first real changes in how they perceive, think and feel as early as the first few sessions.

The first step is easier than you think.

You don’t need to make a decision today. Start with a no-obligation, free consultation and see how it feels.
