IN COPENHAGEN & ONLINEGet Help With: Navigating Relationships
When Relationships Start to Feel Hard to Navigate
When relationship patterns, romantic, family, friendship, or workplace, begin to affect your wellbeing, confidence, or sense of self, you may need support to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Our work together helps you understand your relational dynamics, communicate with more clarity, and build healthier, more connected relationships.
What Does It Mean to Struggle in Relationships?
Relational difficulties can show up as:
Feeling unheard, misunderstood, or dismissed
Frequent conflict, shutdowns, or emotional disconnection
People-pleasing, over-functioning, or difficulty setting boundaries
Fear of intimacy, abandonment, rejection, or commitment
Difficulty expressing emotions or needs
Choosing the same partner type or repeating past patterns
Avoiding relationships altogether
Feeling unsafe or anxious in connection
Common Relationship Patterns You May Recognise
Understanding your attachment style and emotional history is often the first step toward changing these patterns.
You may see yourself in one or more of the following:
Anxious attachment: fear of abandonment, hypervigilance, overthinking, emotional dependency
Avoidant attachment: distancing, discomfort with closeness, difficulty expressing feelings
Disorganised attachment: push-pull dynamics, intense relationships, confusion about safety and closeness
Codependency: over-responsibility, rescuing, loss of personal boundaries
Conflict-avoidance: shutting down, withdrawing, fear of upsetting others
High-conflict dynamics: escalation, criticism, defensiveness, or blame cycles
Pattern repetition: choosing similar partners or relationships that recreate old wounds
Why Do Relationship Difficulties Develop?
There’s no single reason. Relationship and intimacy challenges often stem from a combination of past experiences, personality, and the relational environments you grew up in.
You may be more vulnerable if you’ve:
Experienced emotional neglect, inconsistency, trauma, or family conflict
Grown up without healthy communication or emotional modelling
Had past relationships marked by betrayal, instability, or emotional harm
Developed protective strategies such as avoidance or over-functioning
Struggled with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem
Moved countries or cultures and lost familiar support systems
Carry intergenerational patterns or unresolved emotional wounds

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not at all. Relationship therapy is just as much about your relationship with yourself as it is about others. Many people come on their own to explore patterns in dating, friendships, family relationships, or work dynamics. You don’t need to be in a partnership to benefit from relational work.
-
That’s very common. Often, clients arrive with a feeling rather than a clear explanation such as loneliness, frustration, confusion, or a sense of repeating the same patterns. Therapy offers space to slow down, reflect, and gently uncover what’s happening beneath the surface, at your own pace.
-
Both. Our work stays rooted in what’s happening for you now, while also recognising that our present relationships are shaped by earlier experiences. We explore the past only when it helps bring clarity, compassion, and choice into your current life. Not to relive it, but to understand it.
-
That fear makes sense. Many people learned early on that conflict or vulnerability felt unsafe. Therapy is a place to explore those fears carefully and respectfully. We work slowly, paying attention to your nervous system, so that opening up feels supported rather than overwhelming.
