Aino Simon | Couple Care

We feel super taken care of in the Couple Care practice program. From the very first consultation it felt very comfortable. The sessions with our coach are very loving and safe. They allow us to come a little closer together as a couple each time and bring us individually to the essence of our personalities to become who we are.
The weekly calls on different topics are very enriching and it just feels good to spend time with like-minded people. The online course invites new perspectives on topics such as emotions and conflict management and has already brought us a lot of ease in everyday situations. It takes a clear commitment to the program and a willingness to try new things. Without this, even with the Couple Care program, little change will be achieved in the relationship with oneself, as well as in the couple relationship.
Thank you and keep up the good work to the entire Couple Care team <3

I already felt comfortable during the phone call to find an appointment, because I could sense that Sarah would meet me in a benevolent and approachable way, emphatically and at eye level. It was nice that she took her time, which gave me the impression that I was talking to a coach who is genuinely interested and does her work wholeheartedly. Many thanks for that! Lisa

We are a young couple (27, 24) who participated in the program together (and we are still at it, especially the video lessons are yet to come).
And has it already done so much for our journey as lovers and touched us deeply and brought us closer to each other again. We are really glad that we were able to learn so much valuable things so early in our relationship.

Through the coaching with Aino I could not only develop myself, my personality and relationship skills by worlds but also find new ways to perceive and satisfy my feelings and needs. Aino recognized my problems and professionally helped me to address them and worked out solution strategies with me.
The range of possibilities with community calls, conversations with the coaches and online material (videos, texts, exercises, meditations) allow an intensive examination, which enables real change.

In retrospect, I realized that I would have benefited much more if the topic of NARCISM had been central from the start. Aino's videos were not helpful to me in my situation. I needed clarity about the abusive relationship I was stuck in.
A therapist with that specialization would have been better. The title of your institute should have warned me.
Instead, I even had to listen to one of your directors in a phone call : Oh, you need that stamp (meant NARCISSMUS ).
In the meantime I have realized in what way I was entangled in the relationship and I am glad to have left it behind me.
How much CoupleCare contributed to my recovery, I can no longer judge. I think the biggest contribution was independent reading.
My experience is that narcissism causes a great suffering, which requires a very special therapy approach.

The practice program calls are enormously helpful because you meet people with the same problems. I have met people who have made a lasting impression on me and act as role models for me.
The e-learning (videos) allowed me to take new perspectives and took away my fear of the subject complex of self-exploration. It made me see the complex overall context of -Schaften, GFK and self-care. As a result, a landscape worth exploring was drawn in my mind's eye. Some tree trunks in front of which I sometimes stand and see only the jagged brown of the bark, do not let me recognize the beautiful forest section of this landscape. Our special thanks to Ottokar and Markus. Thank you for your insightful vision and the numerous, as well as substantial conversations in small calls -> we feel friendly with you and regret the end of the program.

I admire and love Aino's way of dealing with people, understanding and seeing them. And her impulses help a lot to better understand and perceive oneself and each other in relationships.

We have made a huge step forward with Aino's team. Very good videos with explanations, very good exchange with other Couple Care participants. Always approachable for problems. Very good exercises, which you should only call yourself again and again in the head and also do the exercises again and again. That's where we still fail. But the beginning is set and we stay on it. Thanks to the whole team! You have brought us a rieén piece further.

The Becoming Seminar allowed me to come to terms with the behavioral patterns I learned in my childhood and adolescence and made me clearly recognize personal responsibility for MY life and actions.

We had a very nice consultation and after some thought got on. The program was very hinlfreich, sometimes exhausting but nothing comes from nothing. We have achieved a lot with support and would do it again and again.

We were originally led to Couple Care by the book by Aino Simon- Liebe lieber einzigartig. Ordered - read in one go - and found it terrific.

I have already started working with the book and the questions it poses and excerpted the important parts. The book picked me up where I was standing.
In short, within a very short time I got an initial appointment and although my husband was very skeptical about it all - after the first appointment he too was convinced of the quality and the pre-sketched path that would await us with the Couple Care Program.

The program is very structured with the videos and the tasks you get. In the beginning alone, the questions for self-reflection open many doors in oneself and in the partnership and bring in a lot of fresh air.
It felt like a basic renovation. The foundation is checked and then we worked our way up floor by floor. Junk was disposed of, old beliefs were thrown overboard, every room was explored - often new things were discovered in the other person that were lost in everyday life. Old things were reworked together, perhaps also "restored" and now shine in new splendor. And at the end of the program we both realized that even though we have been together for 12 years, we have fallen in love again on a deeper level.
Now this is all very figuratively speaking - we have been helped by the combination of information, learned techniques such as reflection and analysis of conversation culture, listening re-learning, and much more. So incredibly helped. Of course the individual sessions where both of us were met with so much empathy and never one of us felt pilloried. But we had had these experiences before in other couples therapies. AND then this aspect of being networked with other couples. In the beginning this was rather daunting for us - but already from the first live calls we noticed how unbelievably great it is to be able to exchange, or "just" to hear that others feel the same way, to share - everyone finds his or her place and space in the group just as he or she wants. This was a completely new but incredibly healing experience for us, which we had underestimated. Not to mention the "swarm knowledge" or whatever you want to call it, that so much input is gathered in the group, if you want it, that can literally carry you through a problem.

Our lives have changed a lot because of Couple Care. We notice it not only in our marriage, but also in our family and our environment.
We are better connected with ourselves again and along with that we communicate more clearly with each other and with our environment. We feel the peace that has returned and we have also learned that there can simply be two opinions without having to convince anyone or one point of view has to be better - what a Game Changer For us ....would probably also be for the world.
Love is getting back the space it has been longing for - which is not to say that all problems are gone - they are just explored differently now, needs of both partners are taken care of and there are so many possible solutions, sometimes as unique as we are.

Aino's empathy is impressive. She immediately understood us and our problem and knew how to deal with it. Both in the analysis meeting and in the info meeting about the practice program, it was noticeable that she knows what she is talking about.
Me and my husband came into the program due to a relationship injury. We have been together for more than 22 years and have now experienced the pitfalls of a long-term relationship.
The entire program is the perfect blend for us personally. We think this "trifecta" of online course, Q&A calls and one-on-one coaching is super. The online course is even more valuable for us because of the practical tasks, which call for action and reflection. What we like about the Q&A calls is the mix of knowledge and experience exchange. We also get to know the other participants and their stories. What we particularly like about the one-on-one coaching is that it gives space to personal problems and current issues. The individual sessions with our coach were particularly effective, intensive, helpful and brought us forward enormously.
Within a short time, our communication as a couple has improved. We can speak more clearly with each other and listen better. We have learned to explore our wants and needs and then communicate them. We have received a lot of knowledge, which leads to even more understanding and makes connections clear. We feel comfortable in the program, well taken care of and absolutely enthusiastic. We continue to grow and develop - thanks to Aino and her super team. Thank you all!

I came to the Couple Care practice program alone and was unsure at the beginning if it would even make sense to participate without my partner. The investment (time, emotional and financial) was totally worth it. Now, at the end, I feel closer to my partner than ever before - even though he hasn't really changed anything. The exchange with the other participants was enormously helpful for me and my own coach helped me to look at my issues from a different perspective!

We booked a counseling package to get out of a deep crisis in our relationship. This, after struggling for a year beforehand to work ourselves out of the mess. In the three months at Couple Care, we learned so incredibly much, felt truly seen and understood for the first time in a long time, and had an empathetic, competent coach by our side. We may not have resolved everything now, would probably be too much to ask. But we took a huge step forward. Thank you for that!

Aino and her team really helped us to see clearly again. Me and my husband have been married for 12 years, but our love had fallen asleep and communication was stuck. With the Couple Care Method we learned to listen to each other again, to talk openly about our wishes and needs and to solve conflicts before they escalate - even if this was sometimes very tedious and many tears were shed. The videos and practical exercises helped to change the perspective and to see ourselves again. The crux of the matter, however, was the work with our coach. The intense one-on-one work made a real difference! Today we are doing so much better and the effort was very worthwhile. Thank you so much!

You have to invest quite a bit of time and willingness. But I think it's worth it and without it you won't get any results. Thank you

I have had intensive contact with Aino and her team for a long time. I have experienced a lot of empathy, care and a tremendous amount of expertise. Aino and her coaches are very personal and committed to the support and the work. I really like the fact that the coaches sometimes give up their neutrality (common among therapists), bring in their personal experiences and also find clear words.
I have benefited enormously from the work and would gladly recommend Couple Care to others.
