Why English-speaking couples choose Praktijk Levenswerk
Living abroad already asks a lot from a relationship. Therapy should not add another barrier, starting with language.
Two therapists, one couple
Both partners get their own therapist in the same session, a co-therapy approach that keeps the conversation balanced and safe.
English-speaking therapists
Sessions are held in fluent English, so expats, international students and mixed-nationality couples can speak freely in the language they think and feel in.
No waiting list
Intake within 14 days. We know that when a relationship hurts, waiting months for help is not an option.
Evidence-based methods
EFT, Gestalt, systemic work, EMDR and Brainspotting, chosen to fit your story, not the other way around.
What we work on with international couples
Couples come to us from Groningen, Assen, Emmen and the wider Netherlands. The themes often sound familiar:
- Communication has become tense, distant or repetitive
- Trust has been broken, by an affair, dishonesty or long-standing frustration
- You argue about the same things and can't find a way out
- Intimacy and sexuality have quietly disappeared from the relationship
- Cultural differences, moving abroad or family-of-origin patterns keep colliding
- You are considering separation but want to try one honest attempt first
We combine Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), systemic work, Gestalt therapy and, where trauma plays a role, EMDR and Brainspotting. For a Dutch overview see relatietherapie Groningen.
