Couples counseling

In a romantic relationship, our partner gets to know not only our best side but also other facets of us. If one person is already so multifaceted, how complicated is it to reconcile the personalities of two people! How do so many people manage to have good, lasting relationships even when they don't agree on everything?

It's important to clarify whether there are shared plans for the future, what division of roles makes sense for both partners, and what each appreciates about the other. Systemic couples counseling isn't about assigning blame. If feelings of guilt or blame are present and paralyzing the relationship, I will work with you to find a constructive way to deal with them.

In systemic couple therapy, the life and family history of the partners is also considered. This is not done to relive old pain, but to find resources and to better understand oneself and the other.

I enjoy working with visual methods, such as setups with figures and objects. This makes connections tangible and reveals solutions that cannot be presented through conversation alone.
