Many people are looking for couples or sex counseling because they feel stuck in their relationship or need support with conflict, intimacy or communication. At the same time, finding the right counseling is often hard: offers are confusing, appointments scarce and the decision is not easy.
At besser:lieben you don’t get a confusing comparison but a structured entry: we suggest counselors who fit your concern and availability. So you can start right away — without long searching.
Couples & sex counseling: resolving conflicts, building closeness
Are you uncomfortable in your relationship? Are arguments recurring or have you stopped talking? Maybe you are even thinking about separation. Such situations are stressful — but you are not alone with them.
Counseling can help you change communication patterns, understand conflicts better and find new ways of relating. The goal is not only to solve problems, but also to bring back more closeness, understanding and security to your relationship.

Get started — €49 one-time
At besser:lieben you do not pay for contact details, but for a structured entry into matching counseling.
You get access to our secure app (oprax), through which we suggest matching counselors and you can directly get in touch. So you don’t have to compare or organize anything — everything is clearly in one place.
Why this makes sense
The initial contact (chat or first call) helps you check whether the counselor really fits — professionally and personally. Especially in couples counseling it is important that both feel comfortable.
The initial contact is not yet counseling — it serves orientation and clarification of the framework.
More than one initial contact possible
If you are unsure, you can also speak with several counselors and then decide.
