Unfortunately, no. Even though the time of pregnancy, birth and the initial period afterwards can be a challenge and a huge change for the couple’s relationship, we do not offer traditional couples counseling due to capacity constraints. The focus is on the individual with their individual crises and challenges. Sometimes, if the situation requires it, the partner can be brought in for a few sessions if it helps to solve problems or activate the resources of the person concerned. As a rule, however, counseling takes place in a one-to-one setting.
The situation is different for miscarriages and stillbirths. Here we offer grief counseling in which both parents can participate together, but do not have to.
