Couples therapy

For a relationship to be safe and offer closeness, it is important that both parties feel:

​

• Taken care of 

• Seen

• Understood 

• Respected

​

The lack of this can lead to uncertainty, fear and instability in the relationship. In couples therapy, we will explore together what underlies the negative feelings. And together we will find ways to secure the relationship.

Trust and i​intimacy in a relationship are closely linked, and the lack of one can quickly affect the other.

​

• Are you dissatisfied with the intimacy in the relationship?

• Have you experienced a breach of trust?

• Do you have different desires?

​

There can be many reasons why the intimacy is not what it used to be, but that does not mean that all hope is lost. In couples therapy, we will explore what both parties experience, what you want from each other, and what you yourself can contribute. 

Being part of a couple is in many ways very different from being alone, and requires certain considerations:

​

• How will you live?

• What does the future look like?

• Do you have common dreams?

• Do you have any habits?

​

Knowing where the other person comes from, where they are now, and where they want to be are important factors in a relationship. Perhaps these factors create uncertainty and conflict that is difficult to resolve alone? Then couples therapy may be the solution for you.
