Counselling & Therapy
Anyone who wants to maintain and improve their relationship would therefore be well advised to seek professional support if their partnership is experiencing difficulties. The following articles provide an overview of the various forms of support available to improve relationship quality and the specific conditions involved.
Seeking professional help is not a sign of weakness.
Relationship problems can be stressful, make everyday life difficult, and reduce your quality of life. When conversations go nowhere and misunderstandings increase, professional counseling or therapy can be the way out of the impasse.
Don't be ashamed, but realize: professional help is a legitimate and sensible way to be happy in your relationship again!
Why you should seek support
- Often, you remain stuck in old patterns and see no solutions. A neutral, external perspective can show you new ways to understand and resolve your conflicts.
- In therapy, you will learn to share your thoughts and feelings more openly and to truly listen to your partner. You will be given tools to reduce misunderstandings and develop a deeper understanding of one another.
- Whether it's jealousy, trust issues, or unresolved arguments – couples therapy can help you address conflicts without them escalating. You'll learn how to tackle problems together, rather than avoiding them.
Do you have concerns? In our articles, our couples therapists answer the most important questions and show the various ways to find the right help for your individual needs.

If a couple is unable to cope with stressful challenges and find a healthy way out of a crisis on their own over an extended period, the relationship is at risk. Currently, every second marriage ends in divorce. The separation rate is even higher for unmarried couples.
Problem areas should therefore be resolved as soon as possible before they escalate. Acquiring sound knowledge about the "dos and don'ts of relationship building" can often help couples surprisingly quickly to sustainably change unfavorable interaction patterns, so that both partners can feel safe and comfortable with each other again.
Everyone ideally wants a harmonious, happy, and stable partnership where they feel safe, loved, and supported. And then what? Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out that way. Or not automatically. Or not in the long run. Personal differences, stress, poor communication, varying needs for intimacy, eroticism, activity, and rest; differences in daily routines, division of labor, child-rearing, or the turmoil caused by falling in love with someone else or an affair… – there are many reasons why a relationship can become unbalanced over the years and is no longer experienced as enriching, but rather as a source of suffering and dissatisfaction.
What can help when it's no longer possible to prevent arguments and clear up misunderstandings? When the atmosphere is constantly tense and irritable? When both partners increasingly feel like they're "alone together"?
Couples therapy or marriage counseling can be just the right form of support to resolve persistent problem areas and help to refocus on what both partners liked about each other.
