Are you tired of repeating the same conflicts?

Do you keep ending up in the same place when conflicts arise with your partner, even if the subject changes?

Perhaps you recognise a recurring pattern that neither of you seems able to change.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a well-established and research-based approach to couples therapy. It can help you understand the patterns that develop between you and what may be driving the conflicts underneath.

There are many reasons why couples seek therapy. You may recognise one or more of these:

You feel more distant from each other than you used to.
You miss connection, closeness or intimacy.
You work well together in everyday life, perhaps especially as parents, but no longer feel close as a couple.
Communication often ends in misunderstandings, withdrawal or conflict.
Infidelity has affected the relationship.
You find it difficult to maintain closeness after many years together.
The relationship feels more like a fixed routine than something you actively choose together.
Your sexual relationship has become distant or absent.
You are wondering whether to stay in the relationship or leave.
You are considering separation or divorce and want help navigating the process without turning one of you into the person to blame

What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a well-established and research-based approach to couples therapy. It is based on attachment theory and focuses on the emotional patterns that develop between partners, especially when you feel hurt, disconnected or caught in recurring conflicts.

In therapy, we work with these patterns so you can better understand what is happening between you and respond to each other in a more constructive way.

In therapy, we work with the emotional triggers and recurring patterns that arise between you. The aim is to make the pattern clearer, so you can begin to recognise what happens before the conflict takes over.

You will also be given practical tools that you can use between sessions. These can help you notice what is being activated in you and respond differently when familiar patterns begin to appear.

Over time, conflicts can become an opportunity to understand each other more deeply and create a more stable way of being together.

Keep working on what matters between you

Treat each other with respect instead of getting caught in arguments or distance.
Create a more supportive way of relating to each other.
Regain the ability to listen, understand each other and work through conflicts together.
· Become more open about what is happening beneath your reactions, so you can strengthen both yourself and the relationship.

You will learn to:

Meet disagreements without getting caught in the same arguments or withdrawing from each other.
Recognize recurring patterns and respond differently when they begin.
Listen to each other and work through conflicts in a much more constructive way.
Put words to what is happening beneath your reactions, so there is an open space for contact and mutual understanding.

With 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist and couples therapist, I have helped several hundred couples through difficult periods in their relationships.

I work with care and clarity, drawing on many years of experience to help us focus on what is central to your situation. There is also room for humour along the way, because we are human, even when things are difficult.

My experience helps us work thoroughly without spending unnecessary time on detours.

We are two women aged 36 and 45, who have been together for almost 13 years.

We chose to visit Anne when we found ourselves in a situation where the level of conflict in our relationship was very high, and we felt that conflicts kept arising about the same things. We were trapped in a very detrimental cycle - one that, for us, had become impossible to break out of.

Already the first time we visited Anne, we felt comfortable. Anne is very good at not moving too quickly and shows great empathy. At the same time, she is not afraid to ask the difficult questions.

We have come out on the other side much stronger, with some good tools in our toolkit.
We are also aware that the problems we had can still arise from time to time, but we have become much better at handling them and better at showing understanding for each other.

We were under pressure on all fronts, which is why thoughts also revolved around divorce.

After a few sessions with Anne, we both looked forward to the sanctuary it was to be with her. A space where we prioritized each other, and where we were guided to see and understand each other's different needs and perceptions.

We gained a greater understanding of each other, which resulted in us giving each other more space in pressured situations.

It has required more effort than we initially thought it would. But based on "what is best for us as a couple and family," we have changed fundamental conditions in our daily lives, which also includes our housing situation and work conditions. We have become better at prioritizing and cutting away what we used to do because "that's what you do."

We can still get irritated with each other and disagree, but we are now good at letting go, being accommodating, saying "never mind," and forgiving each other because we have chosen each other.

Anne was a breath of fresh air.

She has a direct style which I really appreciated, yet she always spoke with kindness and empathy.

She is insightful, warm, and considerate.

For any couple who are seeking to add more depth and understanding to their relationship, I can say that Anne has my strongest recommendation.

Couples therapy in Copenhagen – how it can help

In my work as a couples therapist, I often see how connection can gradually get lost in everyday responsibilities and routines.

An important part of couples therapy is finding your way back to what matters between you. And creating more honesty and understanding in the relationship.

Couples therapy for intercultural relationships

I also have extensive experience working with intercultural couples, where differences in background, family traditions, values and expectations can become part of the challenges in the relationship.

With 40 years of experience as a couples therapist, I help couples work with the patterns and difficulties that have developed between them.

The pattern is the problem – not the two of you

In couples therapy in Copenhagen, we look at the recurring pattern that develops between you. When you begin to recognise the pattern, it becomes easier to see what happens before a conflict escalates, and what each of you brings into the situation.

The aim is not to decide who is right or wrong. Instead, we work with what is being activated between you and what lies underneath your reactions.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we work with these patterns as they appear in the room. This can help you become more aware of your reactions and create a different way of responding to each other.

Over time, this can create a better foundation for closeness, intimacy and a more flexible way of being together.

An honest relationship can feel difficult – and still be worth working for.

A close relationship requires that both of you are willing to look at what happens between you, including the moments when you want to withdraw, defend yourself or make the other person responsible.

In couples therapy, we work with the mechanisms and recurring patterns in the relationship, so you can better understand what is happening and respond differently.

Identifying the pattern is important. If we misunderstand the problem, it becomes harder to find a useful way forward.
