Relationship, Couples and Marriage Counselling

creates a protected and confidential space
• where you can speak and feel heard in your concerns about your relationship
• in which you are invited to listen and feel listened to
• where you can co-creatively find ways to enhance your understanding of each other
• to support you to identify and to interrupt the patterns of action and reaction which sabotage the relationship you want to have
• which invites you to find out what you really want as a couple and how to manifest it in your everyday life.
• where you can discover ways to bring new life and vitality to your relationship
• in which you can mediate a meaningful re-negotiation of your identity as individuals and as a couple

When we start a relationship, first of all we bring in ourselves as we are, with all our wishes, needs, beliefs, apprehensions and much more.

Also, we bring in what we have learned about what we think what a relationship is, how it  works (or should, anyway), how we see the other and what our plans for a joint future could bring. Quite understandably we think that we´re right and so does our partner. Actually both are equally right and both viewpoints are valid, but for the sake of a future togetherness we have to sacrifice some of what we bring into the relationship from our past. In this process of surrender we become a couple and through this process we give birth to something new and very exciting: the germ of an empowered relationship.

Marriage Counselling

• Is it time to revive your marriage?
• Would you like to rejuvenate your love?
• Are you looking for ways to renew and celebrate your bond?
• Would you like to heal old wounds to move forward together in a brighter shared future?
or
• Would you like to clarify if your marriage still has enough substance to stand the test of time?

Marriage counselling is a special form of relationship and couples counselling which takes into account that marriage is a form of relationship in which the partners have committed to each other in “a bond for life”.
In the ancient science of Yoga some old texts speak of marriage as the highest form of Yoga. And indeed marriage can be seen as a great investment in our life’s potential growing happiness. As challenging as it might be from times to times, marriage also holds most precious treasures which come with long term committed relationships which share pleasure, engagement and purpose.

Systemic family therapy

Clarifying our family relationships holds great potential for the positive shaping of  our future lives.

Family therapy provides a protected context where it is possible to experience our family as an empowered background from which we blossom individually into our everyday life. Depending on the given context and the defined goals it can include the whole family just sub-systems or individuals.

The borders between couples and parents counseling and family therapy are blurry. With the birth of children a couple becomes a family. Partners become also parents. The transitions between these different roles is not an easy one and might be a potential cause of conflicts. Here we offer you a tailor-made setting which is flexible enough to suit your needs and bring the desired results.

We´re all on a ship together, sailing the ocean of life. It´s a relation-ship and there´s literally no way to avoid that.

Normally our family is our first harbor from which we start to sail the ocean of life and in many ways the relationships we find in our family serve as a blueprint for later relationships we establish as we grow older. It is up to us to choose to complain about this, fight it, feel like victims, turn away in anger or to engage on a journey in which we might discover all the treasures which our family has in store for us, even if it’s hard to imagine in the beginning how this should ever work.
