I am Aneta Morbacher.
M.Sc. Psychologist and couples therapist.
I believe that love is the foundation for an emotionally safe inner home that each of us should have within. It is my mission to help you build this inner home so that it is strong, empowering, and you feel happy in it long-term.
I focus on work with young couples in committed relationship and couples with a multicultural background.
I work in accordance with the science based Gottman-Method Couples Therapy which has excellent results, and use my knowledge as a psychologist to help you manage the problematic areas in your relationship and find your way back to each other as a couple.
My approach
I work according to the science-based Gottman Method for couples therapy.
The Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) is based on extensive longitudinal research of Dr. John & Julie Gottman, the world's most renowned experts for couples therapy and the founders of the Gottman Institute in the USA. GMCT combines the knowledge and wisdom of scientific studies and clinical practice, and it works resource and solution oriented.
Over 40 years of research with over 3000 couples.
Based on their research, Dr. John & Julie Gottman were able to identify exactly which aspects make relationships successful and which cause it to fail. Accordingly, they have developed a method for couples therapy that combines several therapy approaches, and have great success rates. The method is designed to teach specific tools to deepen friendship and intimacy in your relationship, and to help you constructively manage conflicts.
During our work together, I will support you in appreciating and building on the strengths of your relationship and creating better understanding for each other. Also, together we will gently navigate your relationship through its vulnerabilities.
How we will work together
Free initial
consultation
I offer a free introductory session to all new clients to see if we may be a good fit and work well together. This session takes place in a remote setting via video call and lasts about 20-30 minutes. We can discuss the reasons that bring you to couples therapy, talk about your goals and I can answer any questions you may have about couples counselling.
The beginning of our work together
In the first sessions we will talk about the history of your relationship, areas of concern, and goals for your couples therapy. You will be also given some written materials to complete that will help us better understand your relationship.
I will also meet with you individually once to learn each of your personal histories and to give each of you an opportunity to share thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. However, most of the work will involve sessions where you will be seen together as a couple.
further sessions
The length of the couples therapy as well as the time intervals in which we meet will be determined by your specific needs and goals. You will get the space to apply your new relationship skills and notice the positive changes in your partnership. In the course of our work together, we will regularly evaluate your satisfaction and progress and adjust the pace of couples therapy to suit you.
