View profileCouples Therapy offers a structured space where partners can understand relationship patterns, reduce repeated conflict and communicate with more clarity. It is not only for couples in crisis. Many partners seek support when they feel stuck, distant, misunderstood or unsure how to repair what has changed.
This approach can help with communication difficulties, couples conflict, infidelity recovery, intimacy issues, trust issues, life transitions and broader relationship issues. Couples may come to therapy after repeated arguments, emotional distance, parenting stress, changes in affection, broken trust or uncertainty about the future.
A couples therapist does not act as a judge. The aim is not to decide who is right. The therapist helps both partners slow down and understand the cycle between them. One partner may criticise or pursue, while the other defends or withdraws. One may feel abandoned. The other may feel attacked. Therapy helps make this pattern visible so the couple can respond differently.
Sessions usually begin with the relationship history, current difficulties and each partner’s goals. The therapist may ask about communication, conflict, intimacy, trust, family background, culture, parenting and previous attempts to repair the relationship. Later sessions may include communication tools, conflict pauses, emotional exploration, boundary work, repair conversations or between-session practice.
Couples Therapy can support reconnection, but it does not force reconciliation. After betrayal or infidelity, therapy may help partners understand the injury, rebuild accountability and decide whether trust can be repaired. When intimacy feels difficult, therapy can help partners speak about closeness, desire, pressure, rejection or shame with more safety.
Some therapists use approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), systemic therapy or integrative relationship work. For international couples or partners living abroad, online therapy may make support easier to access.
Couples Therapy may not be appropriate when there is active violence, coercive control, severe intimidation or immediate danger. In those situations, safety and specialist support should come first.
Whether you have just arrived in Berlin or have lived here for years, couples therapy can be organised around a busy schedule, especially with online sessions. Both partners usually attend, and the therapist helps each person speak and be heard without taking sides.
Each profile shows whether sessions take place in person in Berlin or online, together with the languages and the fee. Some insurers or employers in Germany contribute to this kind of support and others do not, so check your contract before you start. On each profile you can check the approach, the languages, the session format and the fee before you book.

The therapy page also shows which therapists on MIT currently offer this approach.
A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.
Many people start with 6 to 12 sessions, often with 60- to 90-minute appointments depending on the therapist and the goal.
Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.
Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €120–€220 per session.
Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.
A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.
Yes. MIT profiles can include direct messaging, and therapists can also activate online booking when available.
This helps patients ask practical questions before committing to a first session.
That is very common. You can start by contacting a therapist, explaining what you are struggling with, and asking whether this approach fits your goals.
MIT currently lists 1 therapist for this therapy, so you can compare different profiles before deciding.
Both are possible, depending on the therapist. Some therapists on My International Therapy receive clients in person in Berlin, others work online by secure video, and many offer both. Each profile shows the formats offered. Online sessions are also a way to keep the same therapist if you move or travel.
Yes. Many therapists in the network work in English, and others in German, Russian, Ukrainian and further languages. You can browse English-speaking, German-speaking, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking therapists in Berlin, and every profile lists the languages spoken.
Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common. Many international residents therefore start with a private therapist and pay directly. Private health insurance and some supplementary or expat policies reimburse part of the sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification: check your contract. Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.
Each therapist sets their own fee, which is shown on their profile. As a guide, most individual approaches on this site are listed between €80 and €180 per session, couples and family therapy between €120 and €220, and coaching, career counselling or parenting support between €70 and €130. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes.
Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger, call 112. The Telefonseelsorge offers free, anonymous support 24/7 on 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222.
The relationship with your therapist matters as much as the method. Compare profiles for the approach used, the topics they work with, the languages, the format and the fee. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you are going through and we will suggest therapists who suit your needs. The first session is also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
