Couples Therapy

Invest in Your Relationship: learn how to navigate challenges and build connection

I have a special training in couples therapy using the Developmental Model, one of the leading and most effective couples therapy fields today. This groundbreaking approach allows you to understand where you are stuck and uses targeted interventions which you can use outside of the therapy room. My approach will teach you to improve communication and learn how to resolve deep underlying issues instead of going round in circles. I lead couples in a structured and targeted way to ensure that progress happens quickly. Expect homework!

What to expect from Couples Therapy

How does it work in the beginning?

Before the first session I arrange a free 30-minute video call with you and your partner to assess suitablility and understand the main issues. After that I schedule a first, longer session of 90 minutes. Regular couples sessions after this are 60 minutes.

How frequent are the sessions?

I recommend at least four weekly sessions, after which the intervals can be extended if desired.

How long will it take to see results?

Every couple is unique, but it typically takes about eight weeks to start seeing results. By this point, most couples notice positive and lasting changes in their relationship. As a general guideline, committing to six months is ideal for achieving solid, meaningful change.

How do we know if we have a solvable problem?

Couples often feel that their challenges are too difficult to overcome. However, no problem is insurmountable as long as both partners are willing to put in the effort.

We are not sure if we want to stay together, is this right for us?

Yes, couples therapy helps clarify and guide the decision of whether to stay together.

We want to separate, is this right for us?

Yes, couples therapy is also beneficial for couples who decide to separate, helping them do so in the best possible way.

Online or in-person sessions?

I offer sessions both online and in person. Personally, I see equal benefits in both formats. If you are in Leipzig, then why not try in person? Otherwise, online sessions from the comfort of your home are equally effective.

How long is a session?

Couples sessions last 90 minutes.

What are the costs?

An initial 30-minute video or telephone call is free of charge.

The first, longer session costs €100 for 90 minutes. Subsequent sessions cost €75 for 60 minutes.

Fees for therapy are exempt from VAT.

Are the costs covered by health insurance?

Generally they are not covered by the health insurance. If you have private health insurance and think you may be eligible for reimbursement, please check with your insurer.
