Couples & Sex Therapy
Relationships change over time. Closeness, distance, communication, and intimacy often follow recurring patterns – sometimes even when both partners genuinely want things to change.
What It's About
Couples and sex therapy is not about deciding who is right. It is about understanding how relationship patterns develop between two people and how they become reinforced over time.
Many couples find themselves returning to the same conflicts despite their efforts - in communication, in closeness-distance dynamics, or in the area of intimacy and sexuality.
The work is relationship-oriented, structured, and clearly guided. The focus is on understanding the dynamic between both partners, rather than assigning blame to either person.
Depending on the topic, I integrate systemic perspectives, talk therapy, and elements of emotional process work. The aim is to make communication more accessible again and to create space for new relational experiences.
Common Topics
Recurring conflicts and relationship patterns, regardless of relationship model
Challenges in communication, closeness, and boundaries
Emotional distance, withdrawal, or repeated hurt in the relationship
Insecurity, jealousy, or issues of trust
Changes in relationship dynamics caused by life phases or external stress
Different needs for closeness, autonomy, or connection
Questions around commitment, freedom, and individual relationship models
Sexuality
Sexuality is a deeply personal and individual area that is closely connected to relationship experiences, a sense of safety, body awareness, and communication.
It can change across different phases of life and can play a role in many different relationship structures and life models, regardless of how a relationship is defined.
The aim is to create more clarity, connection, and self-determination in this area as well.
Framework
Couples and sex therapy is a shared process that requires commitment and a willingness to engage actively with the work.
Depending on your concerns, sessions usually take place at regular intervals, generally every two to four weeks, so that change can become tangible in everyday life and be integrated over time.
