Couples Psychotherapy in Warsaw

Most couples who come to us have not been in crisis since yesterday. Tensions build over years – slowly, through misunderstandings, unmet needs and conversations that end in silence rather than understanding.

Couples psychotherapy is not a last resort. It is a tool – and the sooner it is used, the more there is left to preserve.

How we work

Our psychotherapists conduct couples therapy within a psychodynamic framework. We do not focus solely on resolving the current conflict. We look at what drives it: what patterns, unmet needs and expectations each person brings to the relationship.

The first session is a consultation – the therapist gets to know your history and understands what each of you is experiencing. Regular sessions last 50 minutes.

When do couples come to us?

• Communication has become difficult – conversations escalate or are avoided
• Physical or emotional intimacy has faded and not returned
• A crisis of trust has emerged – infidelity, a secret, a lie
• A life change has disrupted the balance: a child, illness, work, a move
• One of you wants to leave and the other does not – and you are both looking for clarity
• You want to consciously invest in your relationship before things become really difficult

Couples psychotherapy is not mediation

The therapist does not take sides and does not issue judgements. Their role is to help you see each other more clearly – and to hear what usually gets lost in conflict.

Sometimes couples therapy leads to a renewed relationship. Sometimes to a more conscious and gentler decision to separate. Both paths are possible and both can be right.
