Couples Counseling
“Come Home to Yourself & Each Other”
The Challenges That Shape Us
Every relationship moves through cycles of harmony and tension. When love feels distant, when routines take over, or when past wounds resurface, we often feel stuck in patterns that seem impossible to break. In these moments, it’s easy to lose hope – yet they also hold the greatest opportunity for transformation.
Conflict in a relationship is not only normal, it’s healthy. It shows where growth is needed and offers both partners the chance to evolve together, to deepen their understanding, and to strengthen the bond that unites them. The challenge is not the conflict itself, but how we navigate it.
What We Can Work On
಄ Untangling recurring patterns that keep you stuck in conflict
಄ Learning to communicate calmly and without toxicity
಄ Helping partners embody habits of self-love – the source for the love we can give others
಄ Surfacing and healing old wounds that affect your relationship
಄ Reigniting sexual desire by expanding the scope of your understanding of intimacy
಄ Restoring intimacy and trust where it has been lost
಄ Creating new patterns of closeness that nurture the relationship
Guided by a Holistic Perspective
True intimacy doesn’t mean avoiding disagreement. It means finding the courage to meet each other honestly, with compassion, and to use challenges as gateways to deeper connection. Having a neutral third person – a therapist – can be invaluable in this process. I offer couples an emotionally detached perspective, creating a calm and non-toxic frame where each partner can be heard and understood.
My approach is holistic: we look at how your thoughts, emotions, daily routines, sexuality, and energy patterns all shape the way you love and relate. By weaving together insights from Taoist and Tantric wisdom, couples counseling, family constellations and more, I guide you back into presence with yourself and with your partner.
“Healthy intimacy is not asking someone to complete you, but inviting them to walk beside you in the wholeness you’ve claimed”
My Story, My Calling
I grew up in an open-hearted family in the picturesque, medieval city of Heidelberg, Germany – an upbringing that nurtured in me a deep appreciation for love, freedom and independent thinking. From an early age, I felt encouraged to explore spirituality, relationships and sexuality with openness and curiosity.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve lived and studied across Europe, Asia and the Americas, immersing myself in Taoist and Tantric teachings, family constellations, bioenergetik, relationship counselling, and other holistic and modern approaches, always with the aim to help people rediscover love as the foundation of true intimacy.
My work is grounded in lived experience across many cultures and relationship forms, combined with years of study and facilitation. Today I guide individuals and couples towards a more conscious, fulfilling and nourishing way of living and loving
An Invitation
Many couples come to me when they feel disconnected, are stuck in a cycle of the same arguments, or are unsure how to move forward after trust has been broken. Others come because they feel that the passion and excitement has faded from their love life, or because they want to address unspoken resentments.
This work is never about blame; it’s about creating a new way of relating to each other. With curiosity, compassion, and clear guidance, I support couples in breaking old cycles, finding their voice, and rediscovering each other – not only as partners, but also as lovers.
Every couple, every situation is unique, and so is the path we take together. I create an individual therapy plan tailored to your needs, blending modern therapeutic training with holistic wisdom.
“Each moment asks us to choose: stay bound by fear’s old echoes, or trust love to lead us somewhere wider and more alive“

Words From My Clients
Reflections from those who have shared parts of their journey with me
Dominik K.
“In the first year after our son was born, we found it difficult to be open and honest with each other about our sex life. This had a negative impact on our sex life and the general mood between us. Looking back, I can say that our relationship was on the brink of ending.
We were both distressed and unsure of what steps to take to stabilise things between us. A friend of mine suggested that I contact Philipp…

Philipp has an exceptional ability to listen and understand our emotional states. He consistently provided thought-provoking insights and practical solutions. Through our sessions, we learned to express our needs clearly and without emotional tension. We also established dedicated times each week to communicate our needs and feelings and share quality time together. What might seem like a simple adjustment turned out to be a pivotal moment in reconnecting with each other.
Working with Philipp was one of the best decisions we ever made for our relationship. Not only did he help us overcome communication barriers that were causing friction, but he also helped us rekindle the love and passion that had begun to fade. We are very grateful to Philipp for his guidance and support throughout our journey.”

“I have been struggling with toxic relationships for most of my adult life. I was caught in a cycle of unhealthy patterns, which caused me tremendous suffering.
Working with Philipp helped me to understand why I kept attracting the same toxic traits and patterns in my partners. He made me to realise that my past relationships and childhood had a huge impact on my unconscious choice of partners…

and that I needed to address these issues in order to build healthier relationships in the future.
His empathy and patience provided me with a safe space to work through my emotions and helped me to gain a deeper understanding of myself and my needs. One of the most valuable things that Philipp taught me, is the ability to identify and avoid toxic patterns in others. I’ve learnt to recognise potential red flags and reprogrammed myself mentally and emotionally so that I’m no longer attracted to them.
As a result, I am now able to make more informed decisions when choosing a partner. I no longer doubt that it is possible to build harmonious and stable relationships. I also firmly believe that I am worthy of being treated with respect and love in my relationships. I am very grateful for the advice and support Philipp has given me.”

“Due to a new job, my partner travels abroad for about 150 days a year. These long periods of absence made it very difficult for me to feel emotionally connected to my partner and I also felt that our intimacy was suffering.
Phil is incredibly patient, understanding and compassionate. He took the time to understand my particular situation and gave me practical advice…

He took the time to understand my particular situation and gave me practical advice. He taught me the importance of open communication, creativity and lived intimacy to maintain passion and trust in a long-distance relationship. He also showed us how to use technology in fun, playful ways to share intimacy across distance.
I am now able to communicate my needs and concerns more openly and honestly with my partner, and we actually take great pleasure in exploring new forms of intimacy with each other, even though we are thousands of kilometres apart.
I can’t thank Phil enough for his help and advice. He has given us the right tools to maintain our passion, no matter how great the distance between us.”
