When the same arguments keep coming back, or you feel you have drifted apart, it can help to talk about it with someone outside the relationship. I work with couples at my practice in Cluj-Napoca or online, in English or Romanian.
One of you books the session and can add the other as a guest.
The usual therapy hour is too short for two people. In 90 minutes there is room for each of you to say what you need to say, and then to work together on what happens between you.
I am not on either side. My role is to help you hear each other and see what happens when communication gets stuck.
I am honest with you: I tell you what I notice, with care, even when it is not comfortable.
One 90-minute couples session every two weeks.
One couples session a month, plus a weekly individual session with each partner. It fits when each of you also has personal things to work on that affect the relationship.
Each session is paid separately, at the prices below. We choose the right format for you together.
It is hard for two working people to be free at the same time during the day. That is why I keep two evening slots a week for couples (Romania time).
Everything we discuss in sessions is confidential, within the limits set by law. In the intensive format, when I also see each of you individually, we agree together from the start how we handle what each of you tells me separately.
the text about the secrets rule in the intensive format (what stays confidential when I see partners individually).
I specialised in couples counselling through the training „Cuplul conștient. Știința dedicată cuplului” (The conscious couple) at Școala pentru Cuplu (2019, Cluj-Napoca).

An individual session is 60 minutes and a couples session is 90 minutes. If you feel you need more time, we can work in extended sessions: 90 minutes individually or 120 minutes for couples.
Yes, you can email me about scheduling, prices or how I work. What brings you to therapy, though, is something we talk about in the first session, where there is the time and calm it needs.
Usually one couples session every two weeks. For couples who want a more intensive pace there is also an intensive format: one couples session a month plus a weekly individual session with each partner. We choose together what suits you.
Yes. For couples I keep two evening slots between 18:00 and 20:00 (Romania time), because it is hard for two working people to be free at the same time during the day.
That is very common. You can come to a first couples session, where your partner gets to meet me and ask questions, and only then decide whether to continue. If they are not ready, you can also start on your own, with individual sessions.
Choose a time in the calendar, in person or online, during the day or in the evening. In the first session we get to know each other and see together how we could work. If you have questions before, you can email me.
