Couples Therapy

In-person or online sessions are available

In couples therapy, we work together to understand the unique nature of your relationship and how you as a couple can work on improving your communication style, break-free of unhealthy patterns, and heal from ruptures that may have occurred between the two of you. Couples seek therapy for many types of problems including:

• Intimacy issues
• Conflict and disconnection
• An affair
• Grief and loss
• Parenting stress
• The impact of childhood trauma
• A partner suffering from mental illness
• Jealousy issues 
• A partner with separation anxiety or fear of abandonment
• Difficulty opening up emotionally
• Addiction problems

The goal in couples therapy is to collaboratively establish goals for improving the quality of your relationship that are important and meaningful to you as a couple. The beauty of working on your relationship is that you may see ripple effects for you as an individual in which you may see an increase in your wellbeing and happiness.

NEW – Clinical Assessment of Your Relationship

At Relationsgymmet, I offer the opportunity for a thorough assessment of your relationship, combining the Gottman Method for Couples Therapyand Schema Therapy for Couples. Both approaches are evidence-based and complementary. The assessment provides a structured and in-depth understanding of your relationship on both a behavioral and emotional level, highlighting strengths as well as challenges.

The Gottman Method focuses on communication, meaning-building, friendship, and conflict management, while Schema Therapy for Couples deepens the understanding of the emotional patterns underlying your recurring difficulties—both individually and as a couple.

Assessment Components

Joint session (90 minutes):

We review the history of your relationship, the issues you bring to therapy, and observe how you interact, particularly in emotionally challenging situations.

Clinical questionnaires:

Comprehensive questionnaires through Gottman Connect (currently available in English only), as well as a YSQ form (Schema Therapy).

Individual sessions (45 minutes per person):

Each partner has the opportunity to share their experiences, emotional needs, and goals for therapy.

Feedback session (60 minutes):

A summary session providing feedback on strengths, challenges, and tailored recommendations.

Timing and Package

The assessment is included in the therapy package(6,000 SEK).

The package covers 4 hours of clinical timewith the psychologist, plus 1 hour for the psychologist’s preparation and analysis of your clinical assessment prior to the feedback session.

The Gottman Connect questionnaire fee (USD 40) is paid separately by the clients directly to the Gottman Institute following an invitation from me.

After the Assessment

In the therapy phase, we use tools and exercises from both the Gottman Method and Schema Therapy for Couples to strengthen communication, increase understanding of each other’s emotional needs, and build a deeper connection.
