Couple counselling

For couples in intercultural relationships who want to understand what keeps them stuck and find more clarity, connection and direction together.

When a relationship becomes strained, many couples find themselves repeating the same arguments. Cultural expectations, family pressure, language, parenting, religion, money or different ideas about closeness can create tension — especially when both partners feel misunderstood.

Couples counselling offers a space to slow down, understand recurring patterns and talk about what is often difficult to express at home. Together, we look at what is happening beneath the immediate conflict and develop more constructive ways to communicate, set boundaries and make shared decisions.

This form of counselling is for couples who want to reflect on their relationship together and receive support in navigating conflict, distance or uncertainty more consciously.

You can find further reflections and practical guidance on relationship topics in the blog articles.

Language is the soul of a nation

It’s no wonder that partners from different countries and cultures have great potential for misunderstandings and heated arguments. However, different ideas about family, education, religion, sex or money are just as much a source of tension and romance in a romantic relationship. 

It is an intense experience to get to the heart of the matter. Together we can shape this intense experience in a positive way. Addressing important topics is a way of experiencing self-determination, development and openness in life. 

Strengthening intercultural couples and families

You are not alone. Every third couple in Austria lives in an intercultural relationship. Many of these couples and families struggle with almost unsolvable conflicts due to their cultural differences, language and origin. Addressing important issues requires the right method and professional guidance.

We work together on questions such as:

 

  • What is important to us? How do we want to live?
  • How can everyone contribute to the relationship without losing themselves?
  • Should we start a family?
  • How can our children find identity and a sense of belonging?
  • How do we deal with our partners’ families?
  • What does it take to rekindle the fire of romance?

Solving relationship problems

From my own experience, I know the challenges you face every day.

Get competent support and benefit from my intercultural expertise and my knowledge as an educator and mother. In my couples counselling sessions we speak German, English or Spanish. If you would like to know before the first conversation how a session works, how long counselling takes or which language we can use, you’ll find the key answers in the FAQ on process, duration and language.

Whether you come alone or as a couple, we work on solutions that bring more ease and lust for life.

Tell me what moves you: especially when you can’t get anywhere on your own at the moment. Together we will get to the heart of the matter in a relaxed atmosphere. In my couples counselling

  • reflect on being different and recognise personal boundaries
  • find the right words for things that were previously unspoken
  • overcome challenges and make well-considered decisions

No false shame, because these problems are part of every intercultural relationship, marriage and parenthood.
