Intercultural relationship counselling in Vienna and online
For intercultural and binational couples. And for people who want to make a change in their relationship, even if they start on their own.
Counselling in German, English and Spanish. As a Qualified Life and Social Counsellor, I specialise in intercultural relationship dynamics. And I know what life between cultures is like from personal experience.
– INTERCULTURAL RELATIONSHIPS
When differences show up in everyday life
Intercultural relationships are as varied as the people in them. But some themes come up again and again in counselling. It is not just about different nationalities. Language, family influences, cultural background and different ideas about partnership can all shape how culture shows up in a relationship. That is not always obvious at first.
FAMILY & BELONGING
Parenting and religion
Closeness to family of origin
Where is home for us, really?
EVERYDAY LIFE & DECISIONS
Roles and responsibility
Power, money and dependence
Who has had to adapt more?
CLOSENESS & CONNECTION
Communication and misunderstandings
Closeness, distance and intimacy
Why does something sound normal to me and hurtful to you?
– ORIENTATION
On your own or together?
Start on your own
Your partner isn’t ready yet, or you want to work out where you stand first. Many people start counselling on their own. You can still work on your relationship this way and better understand where you have influence. Sometimes this later becomes couples counselling.
Start together
You want to understand what is happening between you and find a different way of dealing with it. In couples counselling, we look at your relationship dynamic and at the patterns that keep repeating.
– HOW I WORK
Differentiation-based. Clear. Without taking sides.
My approach is differentiation-based. The focus is not on the perfect communication technique. It is about recognising recurring patterns, taking responsibility for your part and remaining clear about where you stand, even under pressure. I do not take sides or try to save a relationship at any cost. What matters is understanding what is happening right now and what kind of change can actually last.
