Relationships and intimacy

Looking for a couples therapist, or help with intimacy or sexuality?

Relationships are among the things that most affect our satisfaction and mental well-being. Difficulties in them are common: recurring arguments, growing apart, infidelity, breakups, different ideas about closeness or sexuality. They are often linked to how we learned to form attachments in childhood, how we communicate and how we handle conflict. You can work on them on your own or together with your partner.

When to seek help?

  • The arguments go round in circles.

    You and your partner keep going over the same issues again and again without getting anywhere.

  • You feel distant.

    You feel that you and your partner are just living side by side, you talk less, and closeness and intimacy are missing.

  • Trust has been damaged.

    After infidelity, lies or jealousy, you don't know how to move forward.

  • You can't let go of a breakup.

    Months after a breakup, you can't move on and the relationship still occupies your mind.

  • You repeat the same patterns.

    You choose similar partners or lose yourself in relationships.

  • Intimacy is a source of tension.

    Different needs or difficulties in your sex life are becoming something you can't talk about.

What approaches are used for relationship difficulties?

Couples counselling and couples therapy

Both partners attend the session, and the professional helps put into words what is happening between them. The aim is not to find someone to blame, but to understand recurring patterns, improve communication and find shared solutions. Some couples come in a crisis, others as prevention.

The Gottman Method

The American psychologist John Gottman spent decades researching what sets stable couples apart from those who split up. His approach focuses on building friendship within the couple, handling conflict and warning patterns of behaviour such as criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)

Developed by Sue Johnson, this approach is based on attachment theory. It sees arguments as an expression of the need for closeness and safety. It helps partners recognise the emotions hidden behind a conflict and move closer to each other again.

Individual work on relationship patterns

Both partners don't always come. In individual work, a person focuses on their own relationship patterns, such as anxious or avoidant attachment, codependency or repeatedly choosing unsuitable partners, and on how to change them.

Which approach is suitable depends on you and your situation. It's best to talk it over with a professional.

Frequently asked questions

When does it make sense to go to couples counselling?

Any time you feel you can't move forward in your relationship on your own: with repeated arguments, growing apart, after infidelity or before an important decision, for example about marriage, children or breaking up. Couples counselling is not only for couples in crisis. Many use it as prevention, to keep their relationship healthy.

What if my partner doesn't want to come to a session?

You can start on your own. Individual sessions will help you understand your own part in the situation, change the way you communicate and get clear about what you need in the relationship. A change in one partner often affects the dynamics of the whole relationship, and your partner can join later.

Does couples counselling work online too?

Yes. An online session is especially practical when it's hard to coordinate two people's time and travel, and partners can even join from different places. For many forms of psychological support, research shows comparable results online and in person. If you are more comfortable with face-to-face contact, you can choose an in-person session.

Is the professional impartial?

The professional is neither a judge nor an ally of one of the partners. Their role is to create a safe space where everyone is heard, and to help you understand what is happening between you and your partner. If you ever feel that this isn't the case, it's fine to say so openly.

Will I find a professional who is sensitive to LGBTQIA+ topics here?

Yes, on Terapio you will find professionals who work with LGBTQIA+ topics or are marked as LGBTQIA+ allies.

How much does a session cost?

Each professional sets their own price. On Terapio, prices start from CZK 1,000 per session. Sessions take place online, and some professionals also offer in-person sessions. You can see the price, format and available times on each profile.
