Partnership and sexuality

If you no longer know what to do in your partnership, can not talk to each other, the arguments are getting increasingly worse or you are thinking of a separation, you can receive counseling individually or as a couple. We advise you regardless of your sexual orientation or identity.

We help you to talk to each other again, develop understanding for the other party and find a way out of the crisis together. Counseling is a chance for a new beginning in your relationship.

Our range of services is oriented towards your needs. In an acute or longer lasting crisis, you can contact us. Sometimes one clearing session is enough. Often however several appointments are necessary, to achieve the desired changes.

Reasons for counseling could be:

  • Conflict management in a partnership – e.g. in the case of communication problems or external relationships
  • Changes to partnership and sexuality due to new circumstances – e.g. the birth of a child
  • Questions on sexuality and sexual difficulties such as loss of desire, pain, erection or orgasm difficulties
  • Questions on sexual orientation and sexual identity
  • Sexual, personal or partnership difficulties due to sexual violence
  • Psychological issues connected to pre-birth examinations (Prenatal diagnosis = PND or pre-implantation diagnosis = PID)
  • Emotional crises during pregnancy or after the birth
  • Problems after a miscarriage or stillbirth or after an abortion
  • Unwanted infertility or fertility treatment
  • Crisis intervention

The counselors have studied education or psychology, have therapeutic training and long standing professional experience. They regularly take part in supervisions and further trainings.

Note on available appointments: The demand for couples and sexual counseling is almost always higher than the available counseling appointments. As a state-recognized pregnancy advice centre, supporting pregnant women is our top priority. This means that there are often only a few free appointments for couples and sexual counseling, especially during vacation and cold periods. These are usually available on Wednesdays from 3 p.m. by telephone on 06131-2876610.
