I'll help you build bridges
instead of walls.
Your situation
DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELVES?
Your conflicts are going in circles or escalating, trust has been shaken, or you wonder if separation is on the horizon? Does your non-monogamous relationship bring challenges or do you wonder how to remain a couple while being parents?
Maybe your sexuality is burdened – by erectile difficulties, low libido, pain, changes after childbirth or pregnancy, or due to speechlessness and difficulty allowing intimacy.
SOLVING THIS ON YOUR OWN IS NOT EASY!
I empathetically support you or you both in exploring what lies behind the conflicts, what patterns have crept in, and how you can communicate with each other again. I draw on my knowledge from relationship dynamical couples and sexual therapy, and Nonviolent Communication. It’s not about assigning blame – it’s about finding new perspectives, initiating change, and gaining clarity. Reach out to me or book an introductory session directly.
With love,
Jarla

- Unfortunately, the costs are not covered by statutory health insurance. As a self-payer, you will need to cover the session fees. I do not forward any information about the treatment to the health insurance companies.
- Some private (supplementary) insurance plans reimburse the costs. I will issue an invoice as a “Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie”. Please check with your insurance to see if these services are covered. Regarding the transfer of information: Most insurance companies require a diagnosis according to ICD-10 on the invoice.
Write me a message at jarla@bridginghearts.de. I want the support to be accessible to as many people as possible. That’s why I have a quota of reduced sessions available.
Write me a message at jarla@bridginghearts.de. For appointment requests late in the evening or on weekends, I charge an additional 50€.
It would be unprofessional to make a blanket statement about the number of sessions. However, I can say that many people report noticeable changes within the first 3 sessions. For some, the insights gained during this time are enough. Other individuals I accompany over several months. For many, a rhythm of every two weeks, and later more like every few months as needed, has proven helpful. I only recommend a more frequent rhythm than every two weeks in acute cases, so you have enough time to integrate what you’ve experienced.
If you are unable to attend an appointment, you can reschedule or cancel it. Rescheduling or canceling within 48 hours before the session is not possible, and unfortunately, I will need to issue an invoice. This also applies to sessions where you do not show up. If I need to cancel a session, we will arrange a make-up appointment as soon as possible.
In my therapeutic approach, I address relationship and sexual issues by focusing on the relationship itself, raising awareness and changing attitudes, and integrating body-oriented methods. For me, the dynamic is at the center – those recurring patterns that appear in your current or past relationships. Some of these patterns enrich the relationship and contribute to the shared magic, such as common rituals, while others harm it, such as recurring escalating conflicts. I help you first recognize and understand these patterns, and then we work together to identify where they can be changed. Depending on the context of the relationship dynamics, I also incorporate early childhood experiences, similar to psychoanalytical methods, or work with behavioral therapy approaches. I understand conflicts as a mirror of relationship dynamics. This means that I do not view sexual problems in isolation as dysfunctions, but rather as expressions of deeper relationship dynamics and communicative messages. I place particular emphasis on integrating tabooed content into communication, such as sexual desires, emotional wounds, or unconscious fears. These often unspoken topics are frequently the source of hidden conflicts and tensions. The goal of my work is to create a deeper and more fulfilling connection by addressing these unsaid topics and integrating them into relationship communication.
Yes, you can receive couples and sex therapy as an individual, as a couple, or in a polycule. When making your booking, simply add the people who will be accompanying you as guests.
Voices of clients
Seit einigen Monaten arbeiten wir mit Jarla zusammen – und wir sind super happy mit dieser Entscheidung! Sie begleitet uns mit so viel Einfühlungsvermögen, Klarheit und Kompetenz, dass die Sitzungen für uns ein echter Gewinn sind. Was wir besonders an ihr schätzen: Jarla nimmt kein Blatt vor den Mund. Sie spricht auch unangenehme Wahrheiten aus, aber immer auf eine wertschätzende Weise, die uns weiterbringt. Gleichzeitig gibt sie uns konkrete Übungen an die Hand, mit denen wir alte Muster durchbrechen und wieder näher zueinander finden. Jarla hat sowohl einen klaren roten Faden zu unserer Reise in der Hand und geht gleichzeitig flexibel und einfühlsam auf das ein, was gerade ist, ohne sich stoisch an einen Plan zu halten. Das fühlt sich für uns wirklich gut an, weil wir uns mit dem befassen können, was wir in unserem Alltag erleben und können voll im Fluss dessen sein, was uns gerade an Themen begegnet. Ein großer Pluspunkt ist für uns außerdem, dass die Sitzungen online stattfinden können. So können wir ganz flexibel an unserer Beziehung arbeiten – ohne lange Anfahrtswege, aber mit genauso viel Tiefe und Wirkung. Danke, Jarla, für deine großartige Unterstützung!
ANGIE & JULIAN
Thank you, Jarla, for your focus, your presence, your attunement. For your toolbox from which you teach us something every time and which me and my partner actively use. You have meant a great deal in the relationship I have with myself and with my partner. From the first moment you opened the space I felt listened to and cared for. You speak with clarity and love, never taking any particular side, but really try to see both of us, and help us see eachother. Thank you so much for your support on this journey!
ELKE
Je öfter wir Jarla zu gemeinsamen Sessions treffen, umso mehr wünsche ich, wir hätten das Gespräch mit ihr schon vor längerer Zeit gesucht. Wir führen als Paar schon seit mehreren Jahren eine offene Beziehung und hatten auf dem Weg von der Monogamie zum Poly-Leben viele Herausforderungen. Jarlas ruhige und einfühlsame Art, ihre konstruktiven Fragen und ihre kreativen Ideen haben uns aus mancher Krise geholfen. Es ist immer wieder überraschend, zu welchen Erkenntnissen wir durch die Gespräche mit Jarla kommen. Auch in scheinbar festgefahrene Situationen bekommen wir plötzlich einen Ruck und wagen neue Wege. Vor allem aber ist es uns durch die Sessions gelungen, mehr Verständnis füreinander aufzubringen und mehr mit- als gegeneinander zu arbeiten. Eine absolut gewinnbringende Erfahrung, die wir sehr empfehlen können – egal ob ihr monogam lebt, über eine Öffnung nachdenkt oder schon mehr Erfahrung in der Poly-Welt habt.

Jarla versteht es, verschiedene Aspekte von Beziehungsproblemen zu erkennen, in Worte zu fassen und aus neuen Blickwinkeln zu analysieren. Sie schlägt zuverlässig Brücken, sodass alle Partner*innen sich gesehen und verstanden fühlen. Jarlas Begleitung ist sowohl verständnisvoll als auch bestärkend. Sie hat uns nützliche Kommunikationstools an die Hand gegeben, die unsere Streitdynamik tatsächlich entschärft haben. Jarla verbindet mühelos verschiedene Ansätze zur Erklärung und Handhabung schwieriger Paarsituationen (z.B. inneres Kind, somatische Erlebnisse und tiefenpsychologische Fragestellungen) und passt sie individuell an. Ihre Erfahrungen in der Arbeit mit unterschiedlichsten Beziehungskonstellationen außerhalb der monogamen „Bubble“ waren für uns äußerst hilfreich. Ich kann Jarla wirklich empfehlen, wenn ihr Unterstützung in schwierigen Beziehungsthemen sucht. Ihre einfühlsame, pragmatische Herangehensweise hat uns geholfen, neue Perspektiven zu gewinnen und die Kommunikation in unserer Beziehung zu verbessern. Sie erklärt alles so, dass man es versteht und direkt umsetzen kann.
BINE
The couple therapy sessions with Jarla has been a great help to me and my partner. She could accurately inquire and pinpoint some of the dynamics that were playing out in our relationship and gave us effective exercises and tools to address the issues in compassionate ways. Our sessions with Jarla has helped us understand each other better, as well as ourselves, and how to navigate the complexity of non-monogamy with more ease and come back to love with less work.
JOAKIM
I appreciate so much how you provide clarity with a structured approach, create a safe space, and welcome every emotion with patience and professionalism. I always feel warm and supported with you. When we looked at how to navigate jealousy together, I especially valued the embodiment tools, my space for reflection, and the tools for navigating difficult situations, that brought me closer to myself and those I care about. Thank you for creating an environment where my authenticity can emerge!
SARI
Wow, after every session I feel so much more connected to myself and my partner. Even if sessions are intense and bring out my deepest fears. Jarla has so many powerful ideas and includes the body in every emotion. It feels great to have someone who is so open no any form of living life so I don’t feel judged by my unconventional decisions. I’m recommending her to everyone I know, haha! No seriously, thank you for your work.

Jarla ist eine tolle Zuhörerin, begegnet mir auf Augenhöhe und kreiert mit ihrer wertschätzenden und sanften Art einen sehr sicheren Raum. Die Sitzungen haben mir sehr geholfen, meine Ängste besser zu verstehen und anzunehmen. Ich konnte erkennen, wo sie ihren Ursprung haben und was ich konkret tun kann, um in den Momenten der Angst alte Muster zu durchbrechen. Jarla hat mir dabei verschiedene Strategien aufgezeigt und viele wertvolle Impulse gegeben, die mir helfen, mir meiner eigenen Wünsche und Vorstellungen bewusster zu werden. Dadurch komme ich aktuell immer mehr ins Handeln und fühle mich zunehmend sicherer in Bezug auf meine offene Beziehung.

Sessions with two Practitioners
Couples Therapy & Body Psychotherapy
Together with my partner Maximilian, I offer sessions with both of us as practitioners. Body psychotherapy is especially beneficial when emotions like anger have been suppressed for a long time, sometimes manifesting as physical discomfort. This therapy is also helpful when you’ve cognitively understood the problem through talk therapy, but physical relief has yet to come. Reach out to me if you’re interested.
