Couples therapy in Polish, online
You may be doing a lot for each other — and at the same time feel further and further apart.
When love is expressed through work, effort, and responsibility, it’s easy to lose connection with one another.

For Polish couples living abroad
Living abroad often means living in a kind of survival mode.
Love is expressed through effort, through work, through providing. Through continuing, even when it comes at a personal cost.
But over time, what was meant as an expression of love can begin to create distance.
One person gives through action. The other needs presence.
It becomes harder to meet — not only physically, but emotionally.
It can become difficult to speak openly — not to worry others, just to keep everything going.
Many things remain unspoken. Not because they don’t matter, but because there is no space for them.
You don’t need to explain everything from the beginning for it to make sense here.
I understand this context — both from personal experience and from working with couples.
In our sessions, you can speak in Polish. You don’t need to translate your feelings or search for the right words.
A space that is truly private
Polish communities abroad are often close and interconnected.
That can make it difficult to speak openly about what is really happening in your relationship.
Working with someone outside your local community creates a different kind of space — one where you can speak freely, without concern about who might know.
Ania Szurpicka
Couples Therapist
I work with couples to help them understand what is really happening beneath conflict.
My work is grounded in training in Europe, New Zealand, and internationally — but what matters most is how I work with you in the session.
How I work with couples
At the core of every conflict is a longing — to be seen, understood, and deeply loved.
When that longing feels threatened, couples react. Some withdraw. Some attack. Some shut down. Some try to stay “reasonable.” Beneath these reactions is usually hurt.
In our sessions, I create a steady space where neither partner is shamed or blamed.
At the same time, I won’t avoid what truly needs attention. If something deeper is shaping the conflict, we will gently name it together.
I help regulate the emotional intensity between you so that difficult conversations can happen without anyone getting overwhelmed.
When these patterns are understood, something begins to shift.
You may be experiencing
- Arguments that repeat without resolution
- Emotional distance or numbness
- Loss of connection or intimacy
- Living more like flatmates than partners
- Long silences where nothing important is said
- Uncertainty about whether the relationship can survive
- Strain connected to living abroad or major life changes
Many couples come to therapy to
- Feel heard without being attacked
- Repair trust and emotional closeness
- Rebuild connection
- Understand what is really driving their conflict
- Find a way forward that feels honest
What the first session is like
The first session is a 60-minute online conversation.
Couples often arrive carrying fear — fear of being misunderstood, fear of saying too much, fear that the relationship may not survive.
My role is to slow things down and create a space where both of you can be heard.
We begin to understand what is happening beneath the surface — what is rarely spoken, but deeply felt.
Even when things feel close to breaking point, something meaningful can happen when that deeper layer is understood.
Many couples leave the first session with something they have not felt in a long time:
a sense of possibility
