FOR COUPLES WHO FEEL TIRED OF THE SAME ARGUMENTS AND LONG FOR PEACE AND CONNECTION

Break the Cycle. Reconnect with Each Other.

You don’t need traditional therapy to move forward.
With practical strategies and guided support, you can stop fighting the same battles and start building new patterns of communication, trust, and growth... together.

I work in English, German or Italian.

Couple Support with Empathy & Clarity

Do you feel stuck in the same arguments, going in circles without resolution?

Do you miss the connection, the peace, the feeling of being truly understood by your partner?

You’re not alone. Many couples face moments where communication breaks down and patterns repeat endlessly.

The good news? With the right tools and support, you can stop fighting the same battles and start building a new way of being together.

This is not traditional therapy.
It’s a practical, supportive process where you’ll:

  • Learn strategies to manage recurring conflicts without escalating

  • Reconnect as a couple and rediscover clarity

  • Address personal issues that may interfere with the relationship.

How It Works


  • Step 1: Individual Listening
    30–45 minutes per person (phone or Zoom).

  • Step 2: First Joint Session
    A 2-hour couple session (online or in person).

  • Step 3: Ongoing Support
    Further sessions of 1–2 hours (online), together or individually, depending on your needs. Different Packages available.

After our very first joint session (Step 2), we’ll decide together how we want to continue. At that point, you’ll choose the package that feels right for you.

What Couples Are Saying

At first I was skeptical, but then even my husband wanted to join more sessions after seeing the immediate changes.
We’ve learned to
better manage daily stress, understand each other’s needs, and support one another more.
Our communication has improved, and today we deal with anger in a much more constructive way.
Thank you for helping us!

The process is really well structured and gave us lots of practical ideas for more effective, meaningful communication. Both my partner and I were extremely satisfied.

Certified Empathy Trainer & Coach

I bring together over 20 years of experience in business and non-profit leadership and more than 15 years as a certified Empathic Communication trainer and coach.

I have supported hundreds of couples and parents to move from repeated conflict to connection, clarity, and growth.

I know how painful repeated conflicts can feel, and I also know change is possible when you have the right support. My approach combines practical strategies with empathy-based methods, so you not only understand your patterns, you discover how to create new ways of being together.

Q&A


Is this therapy?

No. This is not psychotherapy. It’s a practical, supportive process that gives you tools and strategies to manage recurring patterns and reconnect as a couple.

Do we need to book together, or can one of us start?

Ideally, both partners participate from the beginning. The process includes an individual listening session for each of you, followed by a joint session together.

If your partner is not ready for coaching yet, you can still start on your own to gain inner clarity and perspective.

Inform your partner that you would prefer to walk this path together, and let them know that my whole approach is not about deciding who is right or wrong, but about understanding the dynamics we all consciously or unconsciously play in intimate relationships.

When you speak with your partner, keep an inviting and open attitude rather than a complaining one: this makes it more likely that he or she will feel curious about joining you on this path.

What if we can’t attend one session?

With 24 hours’ notice, you can reschedule without charge. Less than 24 hours’ notice means the session will be charged in full or not refunded, if already paid. In exceptional cases (e.g. documented emergencies), Back to Empathy may, at its discretion, review the situation on a case-by-case basis to evaluate whether a refund or rescheduling is possible.

Can we pay in installments?

Yes. Package A is paid in full at booking. For Packages B and C, installment options can be agreed before the sessions begin.

Online or in person?

Most couples choose online sessions, and in my experience, the impact can be just as powerful as in person. Online sessions also offer more flexibility and ease.

If you prefer in person, we can arrange the first 2-hour joint session that way.

Afterward, we can continue online for convenience, or keep meeting in person if you wish.

Please note that in-person sessions include a surcharge (+30%) to partially cover travel and room costs.
