What are you carrying right now?

Choose the entry point that comes closest. You do not have to sort the topic perfectly already — we do that together in the first call.

Couples therapy

When conversations tip over, even though you are trying to reach each other.

For recurring conflict, withdrawal, loss of trust, closeness-distance patterns, sexual tension or the question of staying or leaving. You can come together or individually.

  • couples or individual
  • 60 / 90 min.
  • relational
Couples therapy →
Sex therapy

When sexuality is connected to pressure, shame or withdrawal.

For men, couples and individuals around loss of desire, performance pressure, erection concerns, pornography or dating-app use, sexual uncertainty or chemsex contexts. Differentiation-based, with no shaming.

  • individual or couple
  • queer-affirming
  • no shaming

Trauma · EMDR · hypnotherapy

When old protection patterns shape closeness and safety today.

For attachment trauma, sexual trauma, inner parts and nervous-system overwhelm. EMDR and hypnotherapy can be used as a careful tandem: stability before depth, pace according to what is possible.

  • stabilising
  • EMDR possible
  • pace matters

Coaching

When change is due, but doing it alone has not landed.

For mindfulness and resilience, self-worth, smoking cessation, comfortable weight and habit change. Clarification instead of pressure: mandate, solution work, anchoring. At your pace.

  • clear task
  • practical
  • not therapy

Two ways into Liebeshain

Practice or
workshop.

If there is a therapeutic concern, the practice is the right entry point. The workshops show what can later be added: formats for practising, experiencing and transferring into daily life.

Liebeshain
A grove is not outside. It is where love is given room — even in the city.

Six axes where love becomes real: attachment. Desire. Power. Shame. Care. Freedom. Relational, trauma-sensitive, without healing promises.

Directly to Torsten

A first message without giving too much away.

A few orientation points are enough. Very sensitive details belong in the conversation, not in the first message.
