About meWiebke Bergermann, sex, couples and body therapist in Berlin
At my practices in Neukölln and Prenzlauer Berg I work with couples and individuals when desire, closeness or the relationship itself has become difficult. Here I tell you how I work, how I came to this work myself and what I have learned.
How I work
I work in an integrative way. That means I combine couples and sex therapy with body-oriented methods. For me, body and mind belong together. What moves us often shows up in the body first: it tenses up, pulls back, feels desire, or doesn’t.
We start from what is weighing on you right now. Together we look at what lies behind it and which need is getting too little attention. Often it then becomes clearer what you actually need. And it gets easier to find words for it.
Everything you bring with you is welcome here, including shame, anger or feeling at a loss. You know your life best. I bring professional knowledge and a view from the outside. You set the pace.
My main areas
- Low desire and different levels of desire
- Pain during sex – alongside medical assessment
- Conflict in the relationship
- Pressure to perform and fear of failure
- Self-esteem and your own needs
- Times of upheaval
You can read more about how I work with couples, with individuals and with the body under couples therapy, sex therapy, individual sessions and body-oriented therapy. All sessions are also possible in English – at the practice and online.

My story
Desire begins where performance ends.
What I know about desire, I also know from my own life. Sexuality interested me from early on. That made it all the harder when I believed I had lost my desire. I put up with the occasional sex in my relationship. I thought I was doing my partner a favour. That I was overriding myself in the process, I couldn’t see back then.
The more time passed, the more often I turned down advances. At some point sex was only painful for me. That was when our intimacy froze for good. My body was telling me clearly: it can’t go on like this.
The way back to my desire was not easy. Along the way I learned that closeness, and a sexuality that feels right, start with my relationship to myself. And that a partnership often mirrors how much I see and accept myself.
My own therapy also accompanied me on this path: in total I have more than 200 hours of experience as a client in therapy. It helped me understand my story and gain trust in myself. That is why I know how much courage the first step takes. And how good it feels not to have to achieve anything for an hour.

Frequently asked questions
“Do I have to choose between couples therapy and sex therapy?”
No. I combine the two, and often it sorts itself out, because the issues are connected. Some people come because of arguments and end up asking why there is hardly any closeness left. Others come because of desire and realise that it is about the relationship. In a session there is room for both.
“Why do you include the body?”
Because feelings arise in the body, and so does desire. Fear makes us narrow, joy makes us wide. In conversation we understand what lies behind a difficulty. In sensing, it becomes clear how it feels and what you need in that moment. Many people function well in everyday life and still notice that something is missing. Sensing brings you closer to it. What this looks like in a session, you can read under body-oriented therapy.
“Do you work with all genders and relationship forms?”
Yes. What counts in my work is what you bring with you and the story behind it. Who you are, how you identify and whom you love are part of that, like everything else.
“Can I come alone, even if it’s about my relationship?”
Yes. Many people come alone, because their partner doesn’t want to come along or because, for now, it is about themselves. Even then it is often about the relationship, just from your point of view. More on this under individual sessions.
