Couples Therapy & Counseling in Berlin.

We’re Hedda and Simon – couples therapists and partners. We’re here to support you with our varied areas of expertise, working from a shared foundation and on equal footing.

20–60 min. · by phone · no obligation

Through his time touring and working abroad, Simon has encountered very different relationship challenges to Hedda, who has followed her career path in Berlin from the very beginning. We share a solid foundation: we completed our training in couples therapy together – which involved a great deal of first-hand experience – and we share a life together. You benefit from two sets of relationship and life experience, from the different areas of expertise of two couples therapists – and from the fact that you have both a female and a male counselor who consult with one another about your journey and combine their respective strengths.

Simon Hoffmann

Certified Couples Therapist · Systemic Coach

As a cellist, working with and moving people has been part of my life for a long time. Through music tours, international collaborations and seven years with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, I have learned what it means to harmonize within very different constellations – as well as what doesn’t work when communication breaks down. These experiences directly influence my work as a systemic couples therapist.

About Me

My Professional Background:

Couples Counseling or Couples Therapy - which is right for you?

Our services range from couples counseling to couples therapy and are geared towards couples who value the quality of their relationship and want to grow, together and as individuals, through challenges big and small.

You are good together in general, but would like to improve your communication, finally resolve recurring conflicts, or just make sure that your relationship lasts in the long run. We call this “relationship hygiene”: regular maintenance before things get out of hand.

You find yourselves in the midst of a conflict that feels impossible to resolve. Perhaps there is a specific incident that has led you to this point – a breach of trust, a breakdown in communication, a feeling of drifting apart. Couples therapy creates a space where even the most difficult issues can be discussed.

In addition to working together as a couple, it often makes sense, to look at things from an individual perspective – what personal patterns and experiences does each person bring to the relationship? If desired, couples therapy can therefore be supplemented with individual sessions.

Hypno-Systemic Couples Counseling

We combine two approaches that complement each other perfectly: Hedda’s therapeutic hypnosis and Simon’s systemic process support. Together they create a path along which the past can be understood and healed – and along which new avenues can be explored. Both as a couple and as individuals.

Rates

The exact rates for our couples therapy and couples counseling in Berlin will be discussed during an initial telephone consultation – because every situation is different.

The costs are not covered by health insurance providers.

Your Path to Couples Therapy

Free initial consultation
We’ll talk over the phone – ideally all three of us. You’ll describe your situation, I’ll explain the process and answer any questions. No obligation, free of charge, 20-60 minutes.
First session together
During the first session, we’ll get to know each other, clarify your goals, and decide together on the direction our work should take. Depending on the issue, we’ll either get right into it or first lay a solid foundation.
Working through the process together
In the sessions that follow, we’ll focus on the issues you’ve raised in a targeted manner – using hypnosis, systemic techniques and plenty of space for whatever emerges. You set the pace and determine the content.
Completion & transfer
At the end of the process, we’ll take a look together at what has changed – and how you can apply what you’ve learned to your everyday life. Follow-up support is available by phone on request.

What my clients have to say

Working with you has given me a new perspective. These overwhelming emotions are actually manageable if you approach them calmly. Overall, I’ve become calmer and more relaxed.

· Loss & emotional stability

It felt as if I’d been reborn. Each of my cells had suddenly received a new, peaceful message. Every session left me speechless – and I noticed that I felt more and more at ease.

· Fear of public speaking & inner strength

I can put myself into a state of self-hypnosis whenever I need it. I’m able to deal with my grief much more openly. Overall, I can say: I’m doing better!
