When conversation gets stuck — and how a coaching conversation can help

Paarberatung is a German term that covers both counselling and coaching for couples. In Berlin, it can mean therapy with a licensed psychologist, church-based family counselling, or a peer-to-peer coaching conversation like the one I offer at Mosaik Consulting.

My work is strictly coaching and consulting, not therapy. That means we do not diagnose, treat, or heal mental health conditions. Instead, we look at communication patterns, cultural expectations, and the practical next steps you can take as a couple.

Coaching is a good fit when you are both willing to talk, the situation is not an acute crisis, and the main question is: how do we move forward together? Common reasons people book a free discovery call include:

The first step is a 20-minute voice-only call. I ask each of you what brought you here, what you have already tried, and what a useful conversation would look like. There is no obligation to book further sessions. If therapy would be more appropriate, I will say so honestly and help you find the right support.

Relationship support should not be blocked by money. The couples and families line at Mosaik Consulting runs on a pay-what-you-can model from €0 to €80 per session. You choose your own tier — no proof required.
