Intercultural Couples Counselling
We tend to have an overly romantic view of love relationships in general and intercultural couples in particular. THE single perfect model does not exist. There is no couple that always agrees on everything. Tough negotiations are often part of the deal.
Understanding your relationship
Partners who come from different countries, speak different languages and have different cultural backgrounds sometimes face more – and more intense – challenges than other couples and families. They often have different concepts of family, parenting, religion, sex or money.
Do you have a thousand thoughts bouncing through your mind? Do you feel lost? I can offer you support in a free initial meeting!
Special challenges faced by intercultural couples
In one in three couples in Austria, the partners have different cultural backgrounds. Many of these intercultural couples and families face conflicts which are rooted in their different cultures, languages and backgrounds – and these conflicts often seem insurmountable. I offer couples counselling to support you, for example when you have to make decisions, such as:
- How can we overcome linguistic or bureaucratic barriers?
- What is important to us? What is our definition of “normal”?
- How do we want to live? It’s really annoying that everyone else always thinks they know better.
- Do we want kids? How can they find their own identity?
- What additional support do we need at home or with friends?
It is important to address such important topics. Sometimes professional support can make all the difference. I offer my intercultural expertise and knowledge as a mother and educator. I hold my sessions in English, German and Spanish.
