Couples Counselling
Relationships should feel light. Relationships can be supported by openness, passion, love and humour.
Couples counselling can help you and your partner to break through old patterns in order to clear the way for a fulfilling partnership. Let's work together so that you and your partner can rediscover and deepen your connection.
In today's society, it is easier than ever to break up. It no longer threatens our existence or is socially frowned upon - break-ups are accepted. But why do so many relationships break?
Missing Role Models
Many of us did not have the best role models. Our parents or grandparents often stayed together for practical reasons, without really showing us how to go through ups and downs together. This leaves relationship work unclear for many - something we have hardly learnt properly.
What's more, the media paints a rose-tinted picture of love that doesn't really correspond to reality. Relationships often bring to light our deepest fears and at the same time our most urgent needs and desires. Unfortunately, very few of us have learnt what it really takes to create a satisfied and happy long-term relationship.
Connections that nourish us
I am convinced that we humans need and look for connection, for a familiar environment in which we can let go and feel accepted for who we are. But past hurts and wounds make us cautious, and so we often withdraw instead of opening ourselves up to the chance of a fulfilling and supporting partnership.
Ready for a Transformation?
Perhaps you are looking for a way to strengthen your relationship right now, to feel more closeness and trust again with your partner. I support couples to have the conversations that are difficult or no longer possible without help.
I try to build a bridge in communication with your partner so that couples learn to understand and appreciate each other. In this way, harmony, connection and love can develop and closeness, togetherness and intimacy can be revived in everyday life.
What to expect
Getting to know each other
It is important to me that we fit together.
For this reason, I am happy to conduct a 30-minute introductory conversation (usually online). During the conversation, you can ask questions, find out more about me and how I work, and tell me something about your relationship dynamics. The conversation is free of charge. Afterwards, you decide whether couples counselling with me is right for you right now.
Couples Counselling Sessions
The sessions take place online or in my practice in Zurich, whichever is your preferance. Together we will look at where you are as a couple and what a fulfilling relationship would look like for you. It is important to me to understand your experiences and feelings in different situations. Together we will work on strengthening your relationship and enabling new, positive emotional experiences. For this, I typically use elements of emotion-focused therapy and constellation work.
Investment
The investment for a 60-minute couples counselling session is 180 CHF. I recommend 1.5 hour sessions (250 CHF).
It is also possible to book an intensive couples session - within 4 hours we will work on important issues together. Your investment for this is 650 CHF. I offer these appointments sporadically also on Saturdays, please contact me directly.
You pay conveniently by invoice.
​
Duration of the accompaniment
In my experience, I recommend two to three appointments at short intervals. Please be patient with your relationship work, as several sessions are often necessary to see initial success in your relationship.
You may want to start with an intensive couples session. Often we can start a change process in just one day that would otherwise take much longer.
Note on my services: I do not conduct psychotherapy and my services are not covered by health insurance. As a certified coach I accompany you on your way to recognise temporary problems and to find the right questions and answers to them. In the case of an illness or serious disorder, my support cannot and does not want to replace a visit to a specialist or therapist nor any medication.
