Specialisations and Expertises
Cultural Adjustment in International Couples
Differences in cultural background often lead to frustration and significant conflicts for international couples. Being in a relationship with someone from a different background can be truly challenging. Your partner might struggle to adapt and find their footing in a new country. Both of you could feel misunderstood, frustrated, and even lonely. Therapy offers a space to address the specific questions and concerns your family faces.
Communication Challenges in Relationships
We all need connection and happiness, but communication with family and loved ones often falls into specific patterns, leading to difficulties. Common topics that bring couples to therapy include conflicts, infidelity, intimacy and sexuality issues, breakups or divorce, and co-parenting. Whether you come individually or as a couple, therapy can help you improve your relationship.
Dating Coaching/Looking for a partner
The modern dating landscape, heavily influenced by technology, can feel overwhelming and frustrating when you're searching for a meaningful connection. You might find yourself repeating unproductive patterns, unsure how to move forward. Together, we'll delve into your deeper needs and desires, helping you develop an authentic and effective dating strategy aligned with your inner values.
Childhood Issues and Family Relationships
Often, our attachment patterns and adult issues are rooted in childhood experiences. We can explore how these influence your life today and what steps you can take to heal from past traumas. These past experiences often continue to play a role in how we communicate with our parents and can even affect our connection with our own children. Does this resonate with you?
Life After Breakup or Divorce
Rebuilding your sense of self after a significant relationship ends can be deeply challenging. Feelings of loss, emptiness, and uncertainty about the future are common. I can provide support in processing difficult emotions and help you navigate the path toward healing and discovering your new direction.
Most common issues I support people with:
1. Conflicts, communication issues, divorce/break-up2. Cultural differencies in (international) couples
3. Jealousy, infidelity, trust issues.
4. Relathionships with parents
5. Dating and looking for a partner
