Psychological counseling for couples
Your conscious step towards harmonious relationships
There comes a time in every relationship when it’s time to slow down. Couples therapy sessions can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your partner, find new resources for a harmonious relationship, and overcome the challenges you face. It’s an opportunity for both of you to discover something new about yourself and build a stronger, warmer foundation for your future relationship.
Marriage counseling is not a sign that "something is wrong" in the relationship. On the contrary, it is a responsible approach to preserving and improving your life together. Counseling is sought not only by couples experiencing a crisis, but also by those who want to understand each other better, grow together, and maintain harmonious relationships in the long term.
When to seek marital therapy?
Counseling is useful at any point in a relationship. It is a great opportunity to improve communication, better understand each other's needs and emotions, find new ways to resolve conflicts, resolve trust or jealousy issues, experience important life changes together (having children, moving, career changes), and
work with emotional intimacy.
Couples therapy can create a supportive space for you to openly talk about your feelings and thoughts without fear of being misunderstood.
This is a space where you can learn to resolve conflicts effectively and constructively before they turn into destructive arguments.
We all have certain expectations from a relationship, and sometimes those expectations don't align, despite our commitment and desire to be together. Working on emotional and physical intimacy will support a healthy and deeper connection between partners.
Couples face crises of all kinds: loss, career changes, or major life decisions. Regular counseling can help them understand the current situation and develop a number of tools to prevent partners from drifting apart, accumulating resentment, or losing intimacy.

Work process and consulting methods
"Love is not something that can be found in the middle of the road like a pebble. It must be nurtured, baked like bread, and baked anew every day." — Ursula K. Le Guin
We always feel more confident boarding a train when we at least roughly understand what awaits us on the way and where we are going.
Working with a couple within the framework of cognitive-behavioral short-term therapy looks like this.
We meet with you in the first session to assess your current situation and set goals for the near future. Together, we will identify what changes you both want to see in your relationship, discuss previous attempts to resolve them, and set reasonably achievable goals.
In the course of further meetings, we will identify negative patterns, destructive thoughts, behavioral strategies that have led to the current situation and contribute to its deterioration. Often at this stage, partners begin to listen to each other more carefully, can discover new sides of each other and will be able to discuss how the whole complex of their thoughts, emotions and behavior affects their life together.
Partners also go through certain educational stages as they gain more practical knowledge about how a family functions, acquire active listening and constructive communication skills, and begin to better understand each other's emotional states.
During the consultation process, I can offer the couple a number of homework assignments, depending on the situation, and also show tools for each partner that will help them cope with difficult moments in an ecological way that does not harm the partner and the relationship as a whole.
At the end of short-term couples therapy, the couple and I consolidate the results achieved and develop so-called relapse prevention to prevent a return to old, unworkable patterns. Usually, partners also analyze the positive changes that occurred during therapy and record the communication that helps them remain in a harmonious relationship.
This short-term CBT approach helps couples quickly and effectively learn to work through their problems and find sustainable ways to resolve conflicts.
