CONSULTATION

Couple Therapy

A joint intake, then an individual stage, then together again. The work starts with a joint intake, continues individually and joins again.

Therapy is led by two specialists: the man’s side by psychiatrist Kenan Rahimov, the woman’s side by clinical psychologist Samira Rahimova. The work begins with a joint intake: both sides are heard in the same room and the situation is assessed together. Then comes the individual stage — each person explores their own part in a safe setting rather than in front of the partner. In the closing joint session the results are brought together and agreements are made. A session lasts one hour, in person or online. The full description of the process and the prices are on a separate page.
