Building a shared life in Leiden
For international couples in Leiden, the relationship often has to carry a heavy load. Without the usual support systems of family and old friends, your partner becomes your primary emotional anchor — which can create intense pressure when things aren't going well.
Relocation stress, career shifts, and cultural differences can all manifest as communication breakdowns, repetitive arguments, or a sense of distance. In-person couples therapy in Leiden provides a dedicated space to slow those patterns down.
My role is to help you both understand the 'cycle' you get caught in and to build a more secure, meaning-filled connection as you navigate international life together.
The process in Leiden
We meet at our quiet studio at Groene Maredijk 100. The environment is neutral and supportive, allowing both partners to speak and be heard without the distractions of daily life at home.
The first session is an opportunity for us to speak about your relationship's history, the current difficulties, and what you both hope for the future. It’s a chance to see how the work feels before committing to a longer process.
Subsequent sessions focus on building emotional safety, resolving long-standing conflicts, and finding a shared sense of meaning and direction in your life in the Netherlands.
Support for communication and relationship challenges
Grounding our work in logotherapy means we look beyond just 'fixing' arguments. We explore the deeper values and meaning that brought you together and how those can be reaffirmed within your expat life.
We take the cross-cultural context seriously, acknowledging how your different backgrounds and the shared experience of living in Leiden shape your relationship dynamics.

Common Questions about Couples Therapy in Leiden
What if we have different native languages?
This is very common for international couples in Leiden. We work in English (or Slovene where applicable), and we pay specific attention to how language and cultural differences might be contributing to misunderstandings or feelings of being 'unseen' by one another.
How many sessions will we need?
Every relationship is different. Some couples find clarity and tools in a few months, while others prefer to work longer to resolve deep-seated patterns. We will review our progress regularly.
Can we meet online if one of us is traveling?
Yes. If one or both of you are away, we can switch to a secure video session. This continuity is often very helpful for maintain momentum in the work.
