Accompanying individuals and couples on their journey toward greater relationship depth and understanding is something I find extremely valuable and meaningful. It touches me deeply to witness how couples find new ways to make hurts and needs visible to each other and reconnect in genuine contact.
After nearly a quarter of a century in my own marriage, I know how significant emotional bonding is for a partnership – and how much attention, listening, and goodwill it takes to keep it alive. In my work, it is important to me to be a trustworthy mirror in a protected space, without judgment, helping people reconnect – no matter which direction the shared path takes, while keeping both or all partners equally in focus.
Topics such as open relationships, infidelity or sexual difficulties also have their place in couples therapy. Such experiences are often associated with shame, insecurity or hurt – and yet they can also become a starting point for honest clarification and growth. In the SATL Practice you will find space to explore these questions carefully and without prejudice. I support you professionally, non-judgmentally and with an attitude of respect, so that understanding, healing and new perspectives become possible.
A short phone or video call (approx. 15 minutes) – free of charge and by appointment. We clarify your concerns and check whether working together is a good fit.
If it feels right for both sides, we schedule the first appointment. You decide whether you prefer to work online or in person in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel. The joint work is usually more intensive in presence.
Getting to know each other, anamnesis, goal clarification. We discuss the topics you are bringing and the goals you would like to pursue together.
Step by step we recognize recurring conflict patterns, understand their origin and meaning and develop new ways of being together. I work with a depth-psychology and systemic approach.
Depending on the situation, small exercises or homework for everyday life can be helpful – sometimes they are given, sometimes not. They support the connection beyond the sessions.
On average, couples therapy comprises 10 – 20 sessions of 80 minutes each. The interval between appointments is tailored to your process: from weekly to every 2 weeks up to every 4–6 weeks.
Even after completing the joint work, a reflection session or a refresher appointment can be useful – to secure progress or deepen new topics.
Sometimes the journey to a happy partnership begins with yourself. Whether your partner is currently hesitant, you want to close the chapter on the past, or you simply ask yourself: ‘What do I actually need for my relationship happiness?’ – in individual counseling we create space for your answers. Together we look at old patterns, heal emotional wounds and create the clarity you need for your future.
