Our process

Understand first,
then decide.

We start with a structured assessment. One session as a couple and two individual sessions that give you and us real clarity: about your relationship, about what is behind the conflicts, and about the best way forward.

01

Diagnostic conversation

Joint conversation with all four. You describe your situation — we listen and form an initial picture of your relationship dynamic.

02

Questionnaires & individual sessions

Both partners complete validated Gottman questionnaires. Each partner then meets individually with both therapists — confidential perspective from two angles.

03

Analysis & Completion

We analyse all findings from the sessions and questionnaires to build a nuanced picture — strengths, patterns, areas for growth. If you were dissatisfied with the process, we refund the full amount — no questions asked.

Services & fees

Different formats —
one clear recommendation.

The assessment settles both questions: whether this is about couples therapy, sex therapy or both — and in which format. Six months, a year, two intensive days or single sessions: you get our recommendation after the assessment, with reasons you can follow. Every format works with both therapists and the full Gottman method.

Currently

At the moment we only offer intensive therapy. The six-month and the twelve-month packages are fully booked, and individual sessions cannot be booked at present. The way in is still the assessment.

Coverage information

Financing &
insurance.

Couples therapy is not covered by statutory health insurance in Germany — fees are paid privately. Some private health insurers reimburse part of the cost; we recommend clarifying this with your provider in advance.

The big relationship check

Where do you stand right now?

Gottman's Sound Relationship House has seven floors and two load-bearing walls. We evaluate every one of them and send you the result — no session, no appointment. You see at a glance what holds and what is under strain.

The healthy Relationship House nach John Gottman · sieben Etagen und zwei tragende Wände VERTRAUEN trägt das ganze Haus COMMITMENT die Entscheidung zu bleiben 7 Gemeinsamen Sinn schaffen Gemeinsame Werte, Ziele und Rituale entwickeln 6 Lebensträume wahr werden lassen Die Träume des anderen kennen und unterstützen 5 Konflikte bewältigen Einfluss annehmen · Dialog über Dauerkonflikte · Selbstberuhigung 4 Positive Grundwahrnehmung Dem Partner Gutes unterstellen statt Fehler zu suchen 3 Sich zuwenden statt abwenden Bindungsangebote im Alltag wahrnehmen und beantworten 2 Zuneigung & Bewunderung teilen Wertschätzung aussprechen statt nur denken 1 Partner-Landkarten pflegen Die innere Welt des anderen kennen und aktuell halten
Seven floors, two load-bearing walls — the model from forty years of Gottman research.
Sample page of an evaluation: every floor of the Relationship House with values for both partners
This is what your evaluation looks like — every floor, for each of you separately. Sample with invented values.
How it works
  1. You each fill them in separately. You both get your own access to the validated Gottman questionnaires — separately, so nobody is reading over a shoulder.
  2. We evaluate them. Every floor and both walls, for each of you separately — and side by side.
  3. You receive a written report. Where each floor stands, where the walls hold, where they crumble — and what to work on first.
