Couples Therapy
Reconnect, communicate and understand each other more deeply
​
Relationships can go through periods of conflict, distance or uncertainty. You may find yourselves having the same arguments repeatedly, struggling to communicate or feeling less connected than before.
I offer English-speaking couples therapy in Amsterdam for partners who want to understand recurring patterns, improve communication and rebuild connection.
My approach is informed by the Gottman Method and combines structured conversations with practical relationship tools.

What to Expect​
We begin by exploring your relationship history, current challenges and goals.
During therapy, both partners are given space to feel heard. Together, we work on recognising unhelpful patterns, managing conflict more constructively and strengthening trust and emotional connection.
Couples therapy is not about deciding who is right. It is about understanding the dynamic between you and developing healthier ways of relating.

Couples Therapy Informed by the Gottman Method
​
My approach to couples therapy is informed by the Gottman Method, a structured and research-based approach developed to help couples better understand their relationship patterns. It focuses on strengthening friendship, trust and emotional connection, while also improving the way partners communicate and respond to conflict.
​
In sessions, we may explore recurring cycles such as criticism, defensiveness or withdrawal, and practise more constructive ways of expressing needs, listening and repairing connection after disagreements. The aim is not to avoid conflict altogether, but to help you manage differences with greater understanding, respect and teamwork.
