Copini Counseling
Manon Copini
I have a diverse background, ranging from an international corporate career to overcoming personal challenges such as divorce, single motherhood and serious illness.
​
A common thread in my life is that people often trust me quickly. This is because I am a good listener and genuinely interested in others. Sometimes, just being a listening ear is enough, but often I am asked to help think through problems and find solutions and new perspectives together. I approach this in a respectful and clear manner. It feels like a natural process that suits me well, which is why I practice this profession.
​
As a relationship therapist, I focus on developing my clients' strengths and improving their communication. I work from the principles of Integrated Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT), a scientifically supported method that helps partners understand each other better and reduce tensions. I strongly believe in accepting differences and developing one’s own identity.​
Method and structure
In my approach, I am straightforward and goal-oriented, but I also explore backgrounds, deeper feelings, needs, and vulnerabilities. I maintain independence and impartiality, supporting both your perspectives and those of your partner. This ensures a balanced and effective therapy.
​
Our sessions revolve around mutual understanding and improving your interaction. It’s not about "who is to blame" or "who is right," but rather about the dynamics between you. At the end of each session, you will receive homework to practice the techniques we’ve discussed. Typically, there is a two-week gap between sessions to allow sufficient time for these exercises.
​
Starting therapy
Contact me for a brief phone consultation to discuss your needs and specific situation. This helps determine if we want to embark on this journey together.
​
It is important to me that you feel comfortable with me. If that is not the case, or if serious issues arise during sessions that require specialized help, we will discuss how to proceed.
