Couple Therapy and Marriage Counselling
in Vienna
Strengthen your relationship with couple therapy and marriage counselling
Consider our offer for couple therapy and marriage counselling in Vienna, for instance, to work together on your relationship, to deal with difficulties, to become clearer about a specific situation or to talk about important decisions.
Couple relationships are special
The demands and hopes we have on the relationship with our life partner are particularly high. Problems, for example in communication, often arise precisely because of these high expectations. However, the fact that the other person is so important to us or that so much depends on the success of the relationship sometimes makes it difficult to deal with such problems.
As a result, disappointments and offence can accumulate and stand in the way of togetherness. In addition, there may be issues where one or the other partner does not feel heard or understood. Finally, problems in communication can sometimes also lead to difficulties on a sexual level – and vice versa.
Whatever your situation may be, your interest in couples therapy is a sign of hope that things can change for the better.
What happens during couples therapy or marriage counselling?
The aim of couples therapy or couples counselling is to develop your relationship. You usually work together with just one couples therapist. Of course, you alone decide which development or change you want to achieve. The couples therapist facilitates and supports this development, for example by
- Respecting your initiative to come to therapy or counselling
- Creating a safe, confidential, accepting and professional environment
- Exploring your hopes and goals for your relationship
- Making difficult issues and dynamics discussable
- Gaining insights into problem patterns and solutions
- Inviting mutual understanding and acceptance
- Developing insights into your strengths as a couple and relationship partners
- Assisting in overcoming conflict patterns
- Resolving offences and creating mutual closeness
- Processing stressful experiences and emotions
- Accompaniment on your paths to a solution
We are more than happy to help you as a couple to work on solving a problem or making a decision, to develop more understanding for each other or to overcome difficult relationship patterns.
