For Polish couples living abroad

Living abroad can place a relationship under a kind of pressure that is hard to speak about.

You may be carrying responsibility in one place, while your heart is somewhere else.

Sometimes love is expressed through sacrifice — through work, through continuing even when it costs you deeply.

And yet, inside the relationship, something can start to break down.

You do not need to explain your situation in detail for it to make sense here.

In our sessions, you can speak in Polish. You do not 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 will not 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 burned.

When these patterns are understood, something begins to shift.

You may be experiencing

• Arguments that repeat and go nowhere
• Emotional distance or numbness
• Loss of connection or intimacy
• Living more like flatmates than partners
• Long silences where nothing important is said
• Feeling unsure 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 priority is to slow things down.

I help you feel heard, without interruption or blame. We begin to understand what is happening beneath the surface — the part that 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
