Couples therapy - an interesting field of activity

Did you train as a counselor or therapist some time ago? Are you a social worker, teacher or do you work in another profession where you often come into contact with couples and families and are asked for advice? Would you like to gain more stability in the field of couples therapy in order to provide the best possible support to those seeking advice? Then further training as a couples therapist is an ideal option. In addition to subjects such as psychology and family and couple systems, counseling techniques are also taught. You will learn how to conduct a constructive counseling session and how to stay in control of the conversation without giving the other person the feeling that you are not responding to what they are saying. You will learn how to interpret a couple's conflicts in a meaningful way and resolve them together with the person seeking advice.

 

In couples therapy, it is very important to promote understanding between the spouses by giving advice on how to improve communication techniques. Communication is often one of the reasons why misunderstandings arise in a marriage. Further training as a couples therapist takes about two years, depending on the institution, and is part-time. The course concludes with a certificate. Information and offers for couples therapy training can be found at Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.


Questions and answers

The title "relationship coach" is not yet protected, so it is possible to offer coaching for couples without the appropriate training. However, sound training is highly recommended so that you have the necessary tools to conduct successful relationship coaching sessions.

You should have the following qualities:

  • Ability to think analytically
  • No fear of confrontation and conflict
  • Neutral and diplomatic stance
  • Ability to reflect on oneself
  • Openness with regard to the development of personality

What you earn as a relationship coach depends on various factors - especially as you are usually charged per session and work independently in your own coaching practice:

  • Degrees and diplomas
  • Size of the clientele
  • Number of sessions

In Switzerland, the cost of a session is between approx. 120 and 500 francs.

Nach Abschluss der Paartherapie-Ausbildung sind Sie zum einen in der Lage, sich selbständig zu machen und eine eigene Beratungspraxis zu eröffnen, oder sich aber in ein Anstellungsverhältnis zu begeben. Dies kann in allen Einrichtungen sein, in denen gut ausgebildete Fachkräfte benötigt werden, die begleitend, beratend und bewegungstherapeutisch arbeiten. Beispielhaft für eine Anstellung als Paartherapeut / Paartherapeutin resp. als Partner-, Paar- und Familienberater/in sind therapeutische Wohngemeinschaften, Schulen und Kindergärten, Rehabilitationskliniken und Suchtberatungen, psychiatrische Einrichtungen und psychosomatische Institutionen. Je nach Vorkenntnissen und Ausbildung können Sie etwa auch bei kantonalen Beratungsstellen berufstätig werden.

There is no clear definition of what a relationship coach does, as the profession is not federally protected and coaches are very free in the design of relationship coaching sessions. As a rule, a relationship coach primarily listens to the client, mediates, leads the conversation, asks targeted questions, helps to process injuries and promotes mutual understanding and finding solutions and compromises.

Die Zulassungsbedingungen für die einzelnen Kurse und Lehrgänge in der Paartherapie können sehr unterschiedlich sein und richten sich an verschiedene Zielgruppen. So können an der einen Ausbildung etwa interessierte Personen ohne jegliche Beratererfahrung teilnehmen, an der anderen ausschliesslich Fachpersonen aus der Sozialarbeit, der Psychologie, Medizin oder verwandten Fachbereichen, die sich spezielle Kenntnisse der Paararbeit aneignen möchten. Erkundigen Sie sich über die exakten Zulassungsbedingungen daher bitte direkt bei den Schulen mithilfe unseres Kontaktformulars.

Es kommt immer darauf an, für welche Ausbildung Sie sich genau entscheiden und auf welche Zielgruppe Sie sich konzentrieren. So können Sie sich ausschliesslich auf Paarcoaching festlegen, aber auch mit einer Partner-, Paar- und Familienberatung Ihr Tätigkeitsfeld erweitern. Da sich eine Paartherapie oftmals nicht ausschliesslich auf das Paar konzentriert, sondern auch Probleme aus anderen Beziehungskonstellationen auftreten, etwa mit den Kindern, den Eltern, den früheren Partnern usw., ist eine kombinierte Ausbildung, welche alle diese Beziehungen mit einbezieht, für einen angehenden Paartherapeuten oder eine angehende Paartherapeutin sicherlich sehr bereichernd.

Die Ausbildungen und Weiterbildungen in der Paartherapie sind berufsbegleitend konzipiert, so dass Sie Ihre Berufstätigkeit nicht aufgeben, sondern gegebenenfalls lediglich reduzieren müssen oder an den Kursdaten Urlaub nehmen können. Einige Lehrgänge finden Blockweise etwa donnerstags bis samstags statt, andere ausschliesslich an Abenden oder samstags und sonntags. Lassen Sie sich die Kursdaten und Kursvarianten am besten direkt von den entsprechenden Schulen zukommen.
