Couples therapy and sex therapy online

Not everyone can or wants to cross Berlin for a session. That is why I offer couples therapy online, as well as sex therapy and individual sessions – by video, from wherever you feel comfortable. Some call it couples counselling, others couples therapy. Online we talk about the same things as at the practice: your relationship and your sexuality.

Couples and sex therapy online

How it works

We meet via an encrypted video service. I send you the link before the appointment. You need a laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone, and a stable internet connection. You don’t need any special equipment. I explain everything else beforehand, so you can start the session relaxed.

A few tips for a good setting:

  • Find a quiet room where you won’t be disturbed.
  • As a couple: place the device far enough away that you can turn towards each other and both still be in the picture. The two of you and the device then form a triangle. Above all, you talk to each other, and I accompany you as you do.
  • Headphones help if someone else is at home.
  • Plan a few minutes for yourself afterwards, before everyday life carries on.

Process and fees

  1. 1
    You get in touch.

    By form, email or phone, whichever is easier for you. If you like, we can talk on the phone for 15 minutes first, free of charge.

  2. 2
    We start straight away.

    The initial session is already our first working session. You describe what brings you, and we start working on it right away. Often something already becomes clearer. Along the way you notice whether the chemistry is right. Afterwards you decide whether to continue.

  3. 3
    We keep going.

    We usually meet every two to four weeks. In between, you try out new things in everyday life. In each session we look at what has changed and what to work on next. How long we work together is something we decide together.

Questions about online couples therapy

“Who is online couples therapy right for?”

For couples and individuals who live outside Berlin, travel a lot or are in a long-distance relationship. Also when, between children and work, there is hardly time to get to a practice. And some people find it easier to talk about personal things from familiar surroundings.

“Can we alternate between online and the practice?”

Yes, I often work that way. Most appointments take place at the practice, with roughly every third session online. That keeps the therapy regular, even when you are on holiday or on a business trip.

“Is it possible if we don’t live in Germany?”

No. I offer online sessions to people who live in Germany. Within Germany, it doesn’t matter where you live.

“Is it just as confidential online?”

Yes. What you tell me stays strictly confidential, and we talk via an encrypted video service. On your side, a room where nobody is listening is enough.

“Is there body work online too?”

To a small extent, and only sitting down, for example with your eyes closed. For exercises on the floor mat you come to the practice – more on this under body-oriented therapy.

“How often do we meet by video?”

As a rule every two to four weeks, just as at the practice. How long our work continues is something we discuss together.

Request an online appointment.

Write me a few lines, as much or as little as you like right now. I usually reply within 24 hours and suggest a time for an initial session.

If you are coming as a couple, please give both names so I know how to address you.

So I can call you for a short introductory chat, and in case an appointment has to move at short notice.
