Manja Eijzenbach, relationship therapist Rotterdam

In relationship therapy, we work together to deepen and strengthen your relationship. Your background, your temperament, your attachment, your personality—all of these factors influence how you connect and relate. As a relationship therapist, I often encounter disruptions in this area, which we can work on. There’s an interplay between authenticity, connection, and between the self and the other.

Fun, connection, meaning, and being meaningful, both for each other and for the world, are also important themes. Whether it’s the influence of children, careers, or leisure activities, these themes often play a role in relationships. You want to support each other, experience support, and possibly even take each other to the next level. We can explore your experiences and desires in this area as well.

Most people want to live together. Relationships therefore play a fundamental role in our lives. That’s precisely why I find relationship therapy so valuable. Relating isn’t something to be taken for granted. Every relationship has its own habits, patterns, and dynamics. Sometimes these struggle, distance develops, or negative feelings and behaviors take over. In such situations, people choose relationship therapy. Couples also choose to come to therapy to prevent this (preventatively).
