Ms Petronela Maître 

Petronela Maître - Couple therapist in Lausanne

Restoring harmony, strengthening the bond, improving communication

I'm Petronela Maître, a couple therapist specializing in relationship difficulties and emotional management.

My role is to accompany you in a safe and confidential space to help you :

• Improve your communication,
• Strengthen your emotional connection,
• Rediscover balance and complicity in your relationship.

Why couple therapy?

Every couple goes through challenges: tensions, misunderstandings, expectations, frustrations, the need for recognition and consideration, loss of complicity or difficulty expressing needs and desires...

Couple therapy offers you a space to come together in a caring, non-judgmental and professional environment, to ..:

• Develop healthy, respectful and constructivecommunication: move away from accusing and blaming, learn to listen as well as express yourself, abandon the power struggle;
• Identify each other's needs, desires and limits, so as to legitimize one's differences and respect those of the other, and strengthen mutual understanding;
• Rekindle the emotional bond by reclaiming your share of responsibility and leaving yours to the other;
• Identify and overcome relational patterns that create distance and suffering;
• Regain confidence and security in your emotional and intimate relationship.

My therapeutic approach

My approach is based on :

• humanistic psychology,
• welcoming the emotions and needs of each individual,
• highlighting personal and couple resources,
• personalized support, adapted to your history and reality.

The aim: to help you develop a more conscious, solid and fulfilling relationship.
