Choosing a therapist as a couple is a joint decision. In the introductory visit, we map goals and concerns, preview the process, and see whether the fit feels right for both of you.

Arguments about the same topics, silence after conflict, or the feeling of living as \u201croommates\u201d – these are common. Our method combines communication skills with emotional safety so you can be heard without intensifying the fight.

Mgr. Barbora Downes<\/strong><\/p>

Barbora Downes is a highly sought-after specialist in couples therapy who seamlessly blends deep empathy with scientifically validated therapeutic approaches.<\/p>

In her work with couples, she primarily draws upon her extensive training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), recognized as one of the most effective methods for restoring emotional bonds between partners. She complements this expertise with principles from the Gottman Method\u2014a world-renowned framework for building stable and functional relationships\u2014in which she is a certified educator.<\/p>

Her approach is distinguished by her specialized background in trauma work (EMDR training) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). This allows her to safely guide couples not only through communication breakdowns but also through complex challenges involving loss of trust, infidelity, or emotional alienation.<\/p>

Having lived in Australia for many years and practiced in international settings, Barbora possesses an extraordinary sensitivity to the nuances of cross-cultural marriages and the unique challenges faced by families living abroad (expats).<\/p>

At Concierge Medicine Europe, she creates a neutral and discreet environment where both partners are given equal space to be heard. She believes that with the right professional support, even a deep relationship crisis can become an opportunity to build a new, stronger connection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
