About Couples Therapy
Couples therapy can be valuable at different stages of a relationship, whether you want to build a strong foundation, navigate current challenges or create a shared direction for the future.
With professional support, you’ll gain a better understanding of the recurring patterns that influence your relationship and why it can sometimes feel difficult to reach one another. Together, we’ll develop healthier ways of communicating, navigating conflict and responding to each other’s needs.
When communication becomes difficult, it’s easy to get caught in recurring patterns. These patterns can make it harder to understand both yourself and your partner. You’ll practise expressing your needs, listen with empathy and find new ways of responding to each other.
Understanding your attachment patterns can help explain how you seek closeness, respond to vulnerability and react when your relationship is under stress. As you become more aware of these patterns, it often becomes easier to meet each other with greater warmth, empathy and understanding.
Couples therapy can also provide support when your relationship has been affected by a loss of trust or other difficult experiences. We’ll also explore emotional closeness and physical intimacy, as well as what contributes to a more loving and fulfilling relationship.
You’ll receive practical tools and exercises to help you put new insights into practice in everyday life.
Therapeutic Approach
I work from an integrative approach, combining psychodynamic perspectives with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
I work with couples across different stages of life and relationship structures. Therapy is always tailored to your needs, goals and the unique dynamics of your relationship.
My approach also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and attachment theory to understand how emotions, needs and relationship dynamics influence your relationship.
Using an attachment-informed approach, I help you understand how your attachment patterns influence the way you seek closeness, respond to vulnerability and react when your relationship is under stress. I also work with emotional closeness, physical intimacy and sexuality to help strengthen your relationship.
Couples Therapy Sessions
Couples therapy sessions are typically 90 minutes long, with 60- and 75-minute sessions also available.
Each session is a safe and structured conversation where both of you have the opportunity to share your perspectives. Together, we’ll focus on what feels most important for you.
Sessions take place at Yoga Folks on Åsögatan 166, Södermalm in Stockholm or online. Therapy is available in both English and Swedish.
If you’d like to meet before booking your first session, or if you have any questions, you’re welcome to book a complimentary 15-minute online consultation.
