Eva
Social and Life CounselorI listen closely, especially to what stays between the lines. If you feel like you can't quite reach each other anymore, that's often where I begin.

Couples Counseling in Upper Austria
When talking together
When talking together
stops working.
We sit down with you, listen, and sort through what's going on. Couples counseling in Upper Austria, based near Wels, sessions also in Linz and online.
Who we are
Eva and Thomas.
We work as a team because two perspectives at the table often see more than one. Eva brings the close listening, the attention to what lies between the words. Thomas brings structure and a clear view of what needs to be settled, especially when legal questions are part of the picture.
Thomas
Mediator and Lawyer in Family LawI bring structure and order where things get tangled. When clear topics are on the table (responsibility, roles, sometimes concrete legal questions), that's where my part comes in.

Two perspectives
What makes us different.
In daily life, things often slip away quietly because they don't seem so problematic from one perspective. What barely touches one person has been weighing on the other for months. What she classifies as „not meant that way" has long been etched into him.
When we work together with you, both a female and a male perspective sit at the table. We listen differently, interpret differently, ask differently. Topics that usually get lost end up where they belong: in the middle of the conversation.
What we do
Couples counseling, marriage counseling, mediation, whatever you'd like to call it.
Some say couples counseling, some say marriage counseling. Some prefer relationship counseling or relationship coaching. When the whole family is affected, it becomes family counseling. For us, it all belongs together. It's about the conversation you can no longer have alone as a couple, and about what lies underneath the conflict.
We are based in Upper Austria, near Wels. In-person sessions are possible at our location, in Linz on request, and online if travel doesn't fit your situation.
How we work
Three settings, depending on what fits.
We offer three formats: the joint couples session as a calm starting point, individual sessions for what is harder to say with the other person in the room, and the couples retreat as a weekend in which you can focus on your relationship undisturbed. Which format suits you, we figure out together.
Couples session
The joint conversation is usually the starting point. You come together, we listen, you tell us what's going on. From there, we work out together what can be addressed. A session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes.
Individual sessions
Sometimes there needs to be space for each person on their own. Individual sessions are for what's harder to say in the joint setting, or for personal topics that affect the relationship. We agree on how to handle this together beforehand.
Couples retreat
A weekend away from daily life, where you can focus on your relationship in a small group, calm setting and clear structure. We announce dates on request, the group is intentionally small.
You don't have to take the first step alone.
There's nothing to prepare. You don't have to explain, justify, or put into words what isn't yet clear to you. A few lines are enough, a sentence about what's going on, or just that you'd like to be in touch. We get back to you within a few days, and we discuss the rest together.
