🔍 What makes our approach unique?
We — Kim and Katrin — guide couples in a balanced 2-to-2 setting. This means that we work with you as a therapist couple, which creates more safety, balance and effectiveness throughout the process. Our work is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and enriched with insights from Internal Family Systems (IFS), body-oriented therapy, polyvagal theory (PVT) and Relational Life Therapy (RLT).
Counselling is available on location in the South of France (relationship intensives) and online via video call.
💪 The power of co-therapy
Many couples in single-therapist relationship therapy report a sense of bias. In our couple-to-couple setting we offer:
🏷️ Equal footing — both partners feel genuinely heard and understood.
🏷️ Double observation — two pairs of trained eyes see more than one.
🏷️ Safety and balance — the chance of feeling excluded or judged is greatly reduced.
🏷️ Experience as a seasoned couple — couples quickly feel at ease with us, because we’re not only therapists but also have a long-standing relationship of our own, and know the dynamics from the inside.
Our complementary expertise makes this approach even more powerful:
🔹 Katrin draws on insights from existential therapy — how relationships balance individuality and connection.
🔹 Kim brings a systemic view and works with family constellations — illuminating the patterns and influences of family and environment.
We work seamlessly together: Katrin leads the process as the lead therapist, while Kim focuses on the deeper interactions and emotional reactions of both partners. This keeps the process clear and powerful, without anyone feeling excluded.
Couples often describe how rich and supportive this approach is: no partiality, just stronger insight and guidance.
📈 Our method
Our distinctive relationship-recovery model is built around the following elements:
1️⃣ Fast and lasting improvement — we work directly on the core (attachment), which leads to sustainable change.
2️⃣ Normalising approach — non-judgmental and acceptance-focused, so that both partners feel safe.
3️⃣ Couple to couple — extra safety and balance during the sessions.
4️⃣ Accessible — suitable for all kinds of couples, in every phase of their relationship.
5️⃣ Warm and personal — therapy in a relaxed, non-clinical setting.
6️⃣ Effective and scientifically grounded — EFT is the best-researched and most successful model for couples.
7️⃣ Humour and self-relativism — a healthy dose of humour makes difficult themes lighter and more accessible.
🔬 Why choose EFT relationship therapy?
EFT is a scientifically grounded method with more than a 70% chance of full recovery and a 90% chance of significant improvement. It works because it:
✅ Takes attachment as its foundation — we don’t tackle surface problems but get to the core of the relationship.
✅ Is emotion-focused — emotions are the driving force behind change and recovery.
✅ Takes a systemic view — we help you escape negative interaction patterns.
Alongside EFT, we integrate trauma-sensitive methods, including IFS and body-oriented therapy, and we take into account neurodivergence (ASD, ADHD) and the impact of trauma on relationships.
