Couples therapy, couples counseling & couples mediation

"No one would have ever crossed the ocean if they had the opportunity
to abandon ship in a storm."


Charles F Kettering

Maybe you feel a certain emptiness in your relationship and are not sure whether there is enough love left. Maybe you argue over the same topics over and over again and often feel like you're talking past each other. Maybe your relationship is suffering from a breach of trust and you want to find each other again.


They are looking for peace and good interactions with one another. Are you a good team - as parents, at work, in your free time - but also as lovers?


Maybe you are looking for more closeness and connection.


Maybe changing circumstances are putting a strain on your relationship. Maybe you have a blended family and sometimes it's just difficult to do justice to everything. Maybe jealousy or strong dependency is an issue.


Sometimes you don't know what to do next.

You want benevolent communication with resonance.


Maybe the problems in your relationship are no longer just a burden for both of you, but for the entire family. They long for peace, serenity and benevolent affection and there are old wounds that need to be cared for.


Or: You are newly in love and want to learn how this relationship can remain beautiful and stable in the long term. You are about to get married and would like a crash course in a good marriage.


No matter how, I'm always happy to be there for you!

Couples therapy & couples counseling

Couples therapy or couples counseling is an offer of support for potentially long-lasting or acute difficult phases in a relationship and marriage.


But couples therapy and counseling can already be done preventive are used. Based on “A Partnership Learning Program” (EPL), you will learn the basics for good communication in a partnership. This includes: formulating needs non-violently, active listening, addressing difficult topics, staying on topic in arguments, asking better questions, etc.


Couples therapy/counseling is not a healing procedure and is therefore subject to VAT. The costs must always be borne by yourself.


Couples therapy is possible on site in Törwang and online.

Approach in couples therapy

We will arrange a non-binding introductory meeting in which we will clarify your concerns and wishes for couples therapy. Here you both have the opportunity to get to know me and my way of working. Only then do you have to decide whether you can imagine couples therapy with me.

It is essential that you both feel comfortable and respected. A basic sympathy and of course trust are extremely important for the therapeutic work and the success of the therapeutic process.


If you decide to have couples therapy with me, the sessions will take place every two weeks. The sessions usually last between 60 and 90 minutes.


Since the therapeutic process takes place primarily in your everyday life, you will receive tasks and instructions to do at home.

4-Hour Intensive Session for Couples

Maybe you have an acute crisis and would like the most intensive discussion possible to bring about calm as quickly as possible, then a 4-hour session is a good option. We dive in very quickly and deeply and try to identify the cause of the conflict and thereby initiate the resolution process.

This day belongs to both of you!

It is advisable not to schedule any further appointments on this day, as four hours of couples therapy not only requires your time but also your mental and emotional presence.


As a reward, after the session you can enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Samerberg and end it together with a walk, a hike or a good meal.

Who is the intensive session suitable for?
  • Couples who have a recurring, isolated problem and are stuck in a pattern.
  • Couples with a long journey.
  • Couples who can come in blocks in terms of time and organization.
  • Couples who generally prefer a short, intense argument.

An intensive session requires preparation on both sides: you will be sent a questionnaire in which you describe the current problem as precisely as possible. This, in turn, helps me prepare for the session.

Appointment

Arranging an appointment for an intensive session requires a personal arrangement. You are welcome to call me or write an email and I will call you back.

Mediation for couples

Mediation is generally a highly structured conflict resolution process. The goal of couple mediation is to clarify how to shape the future together and to strengthen the personal responsibility of both partners for the success of this project.


Couple mediation is always open-ended, which means that all possibilities for shaping the future are on the table; you are the experts for your couple relationship. As a mediator, I accompany you in this design process.


Mediation is not a healing process and is subject to VAT. What is calculated is the joint working time on site/online and, if necessary, the preparation of a mediation agreement.

When is couple mediation used?

Since the mediation process is very structured and future-oriented, this process is ideal for specific conflicts in the partnership.


Couple mediation is not the last option before a separation, but can begin much earlier. The sooner you learn to recognize the needs of your counterpart and to name your own, the better it will be to deal with conflicts and critical phases in life together.


If you have both already decided to separate and would like to find a sustainable solution to issues and matters that still need to be clarified in the interests of your own, each other's and family's well-being, then separation or divorce mediation is the method of choice.


If you have already initiated legal proceedings, these must be suspended during the mediation process.
