As family- and couple counselor, I support mentally healthy people in solving family, marriage, relationship and related issues with their partners and family members.
Difficulties you may encounter:
- alienation
- cheating
- recurring and long-standing family disputes
- difficulties in processing grief
- reducing tensions
- finding and communicating one’s own boundaries
- improving and strengthening the child-parent relationship
- restoring mistrust
Couples- and family therapy works best with 2 therapists.
I work with my colleague Abdulwahid Leila. Abdulwahid Leila is an intercultural consultant and family and couples counseler, shaped by growing up in and living in an intercultural marriage. These personal experiences led her to build her professional path around intercultural relationships and family therapy,

Can I go on my own?
In order for the difficulty in your family or relationship get better, it can be much more effective if you can bring your partner or the family member with whom you would like to resolve your relationship.
How do family counselors work?
As family counselors, we work and think from a systems perspective, which means that we do not believe that a given problem can be traced back to a single cause. The family is also a system, surrounded by even more systems (such as school, workplace, church, neighborhood, etc.), so we do not blame anyone, but we start from the fact that the family has a problem, which we help solve.
How many sessions do we have to attend?
It isually takes 10-15 sessions to lessen the difficulties, but in the case of multiple topics or more difficult topics, a longer process may be needed (15-25 sessions).
How long does a family counseling session last?
A family or couple session lasts for 1,5 hours.
How does the therapist remain impartial?
Two therapists work with the family or couple, which helps with staying impartial.
