Couples Therapy Nijmegen
couples therapy with couples therapist Wilbert Derks
Your relationship isn’t going well… That happens in every relationship. Sometimes you run into things you can no longer resolve together. There are irritations, recurring arguments, a lack of understanding. Something may have happened that now stands between you and your partner. Or you may be wondering how to move forward together. Perhaps you have lost sight of each other along the way. You feel increasing distance while longing for connection with your partner. This can leave you feeling lonely within your relationship, sad or angry. Couples therapy can help you and your partner address your relationship problems.
You and your partner are welcome to come to me for couples therapy, so that you can address the issues you are currently facing in your relationship and move forward again.
You may not be able to imagine it right now, but your relationship can change. I see this time and again when guiding couples during therapy. As a couples therapist in Nijmegen, I am here to help you so that you can move forward again if that is what you want — and rediscover the joy of being together. It has been that way before, hasn’t it?
intake session couples therapy
During the intake session, you and your partner will get to know me. I will explain how couples therapy can help improve your relationship.
Your relationship is central. There is plenty of space for your personal experience of the relationship as it is now, and for the goals you wish to achieve through therapy.
You will gain an initial understanding of the patterns that influence your relationship and the underlying needs beneath them. This often helps you quickly experience that change is possible. I will guide you through this process.
Would you like to continue working with me? Then we will schedule a follow-up appointment.
couples therapy — how does it work?
During couples therapy, we explore together what is truly hindering your relationship. What the real issue is that causes your relationship to function as it currently does. Which patterns may be playing a role.
We look for the strengths within your relationship, within you and your partner. From that strength, I guide you in addressing the obstacles. You will receive tools to break through the patterns and reconnect with each other. So that you can share what truly matters and rediscover that sense of connection.
The couples therapy I offer is grounded in respect for both partners. Through reconnecting with yourself and with each other, you will notice your relationship beginning to change. You and your partner will increasingly be able to talk about the core of your relationship problems and address them together.
In my experience, most couples I work with need around five to twelve sessions to move forward independently again.
You can schedule an appointment with me quickly, including follow-up sessions after the intake. I do not work with a waiting list.
