Are you fighting over the same things again and again and do you often find yourselves lost in negative spirals? Do you consider if it is worth staying in that relationship any longer? Is the sexuality fading out? Do you long for the initial sparkle that now seems lost? You both want to make this work out but don’t know how?

Lack of communication, emotional isolation, attachement issues, intimacy issues, anger issues, involvement of the greater family into the couple’s decisions, addiction, domestic violence, divorce/break-up are some of the many examples that people have asked support for.

In Therapy Sofa, I work with compassion towards the understanding of your difficulties. The major goal is not to maintain the relationship at all costs, but to cultivate healthy and honest communication between the couple, work through dysfunctional patterns, help them find inner balance independently, understand the part each one is playing and explore the unique history that each partner carries and the way it affects the relationship.

Here you can see some examples of issues that students have seeked support for in the past:

Anxiety and stress
Panic attacks
Exam stress
Time management issues
Procrastination
Perfectionism
Mood fluctuations
Depression
Loneliness
Feeling empty
Loss of meaning
Depression
Difficulties in relationships
Sexuality
Traumatic event
Boundary issues

Do you identify with any of the issues of above? Is your problem not mentioned on the list? Let me know what your issue is and we can find a way to work through this together.

I am curious to understand you. Very often we hear people say “maybe it’s not a big deal, I am probably overthinking it/I am exaggerating”. But no issue is small enough to not seek for support.

I will try to create a safe and warm environment for you, so that we can work together towards understanding your issues. I will help you discover your blind spots, cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself and your loved ones and explore how your personal history affects your life in the present.

Also, I know that seeking support as an international student can be tricky and the waiting lists can be long. Here in Therapy Sofa, I believe in easy access in mental health services. That means, firstly, that I take into account potential financial difficulties and I want to provide affordable mental health care to students, and, secondly, that there is no waiting list (depending on my availability, it will be 1-2 weeks).

Within all your concerns, finding a mental health professional should not be one of them.

People that seek therapy often have common concerns and struggles. For certain cases, online therapy can be even more beneficial and helpful. Here are some reasons for which people have asked to attend online therapy sessions in the past:

Anxiety disorders
Social phobia
Limited free time
Taking care of newborn or children
Traveling frequently
Difficulties in transportation
Health issues

Do you identify with any of the above mentioned examples? Is your case not mentioned on the list? Let me know what your issue is and we can find a way to work through this together.

Even if you are not dealing with any of the aforementioned issues, you can still choose online therapy sessions. The most important thing is to find a therapist that suits you. After all, the therapeutic alliance, as we call it, is a key factor for a successful psychotherapeutic process.

If you have questions regarding our online connection, you can get in touch with me to schedule a first appointment and we can discuss about the options beforehand. Usually, I use the platforms of Zoom and Skype.
