Moderne Paartherapie Bernd und Doris Nickel

★★★★★ - We have made lasting improvements to our relationship
My partner and I booked an appointment for modern couples therapy with Bernd Nickel via an online meeting because I felt like I was constantly being criticized for my behaviour. His structured and empathetic approach was evident from the very first meeting. Instead of giving superficial advice, he guided us through essential questions for reflection: "What can you change for yourself?"; "Where do you need boundaries?"; "What is beyond your control?"
These clear, guiding questions helped us to recognize and understand the destructive spiral of interaction. After the first appointment, we already had practical tips that could be implemented immediately in everyday life.
In the follow-up sessions, Mr. Nickel deepened the process: he asked specifically what was already working well and where we still had difficulties. This individual readjustment ("sharpening") made all the difference. We not only received theoretical approaches to solutions, but also accompanied implementation aids.
The result after the joint work: we now communicate more respectfully, show more appreciation instead of devaluation, can set clear boundaries and deal with our differences more constructively. Mr. Nickel managed to create a safe, appreciative atmosphere in which both felt heard and understood.
We can recommend Bernd Nickel 100% - for couples who are ready to work on their relationship and want professional, empathetic and solution-oriented support. Investing in this therapy has strengthened our partnership in the long term.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally back to myself: excellent online coaching after a narcissistic relationship
As a separated woman (in Slovakia), I came to Mr. Nickel with great self-doubt and heavy feelings of guilt. I had the feeling that I had failed in my past relationship with a narcissistic partner and had "not done enough". What I then experienced with Mr. Nickel was exactly the clarity and strengthening I needed.
Here are the points that made the coaching so valuable for me:
Mr. Nickel positively surprised me. Instead of spending hours going over my problems or digging deep into my childhood, he asked me directly about my goal, my expectations and, above all, my strengths. That was incredibly refreshing and immediately made me look ahead.
With a lot of empathy and expertise, he helped me to see through the toxic patterns of my ex-relationship. He made mechanisms such as gaslighting, devaluation, subtle shaming and the grueling closeness-distance games visible to me. That was the key moment: I learned to differentiate between genuine guilt and the responsibility that was just "put on me".
One sentence from Mr. Nickel had a particular impact on me: it wasn't about painstakingly rebuilding my self-worth, but about getting it back. It was still there, just buried. Thanks to his help, I regained my old strength.
Conclusion: After this qualified initial consultation, I feel relieved and strengthened. Mr. Nickel is absolutely competent, empathetic and goal-oriented. I can recommend him 100% - especially for women who want to free themselves from emotionally abusive structures.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 **Excellent couples counseling with depth and empathy**
Our experience with Bernd Nickel made a lasting impression on us and gave us a new perspective on our relationship. From the very beginning, we sensed a professional atmosphere that was characterized by human warmth and respect. Instead of losing us in endless problem analyses as in previous counseling experiences, Mr. Nickel skillfully focused on what already connects and strengthens us as a couple.

The artful balance between emotional openness and goal-oriented discussion is particularly noteworthy. While other approaches often got stuck in circles of past conflicts, here we developed concrete patterns of action that could be implemented directly in everyday life. The ability to uncover the core of possible solutions, even in heated discussions, without appearing shameful or hasty is testament to years of expertise.

Another plus point was the individual adaptation of the methods. Instead of handing out standardized advice, the consultant helped us to discover and build on our own personal strengths as a couple. This resource-oriented approach meant that we always left the sessions feeling empowered - not like we needed to be 'fixed'.
The combination of psychological expertise, philosophical depth and practical life experience created a space in which we felt safe, but at the same time challenged to grow beyond habitual thought patterns. The clear structure of the sessions effectively prevented us from drifting into trivialities without sacrificing the necessary flexibility for spontaneous insights. If you are looking for couples counseling that not only overcomes crises, but also transforms the quality of the partnership in the long term - you will find it here. Working with Mr. Nickel is like a compass that does not simply point the way, but trains the ability to rediscover it together.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended - life-changing couples therapy!
As parents, we were on the verge of completely losing each other as a couple - a feeling I'm sure many people know. The decision to seek professional help was the best one we ever made!
Bernd Nickel has worked wonders with his sensitive and modern approach. His methods are not only contemporary, but also incredibly effective. We have learned to communicate properly with each other again and to be more attentive to each other.
The result? Our relationship is stronger than ever! Not only have we discovered completely new ways as a couple, but we also feel more harmonious and happier as a family. The atmosphere at home has completely changed for the better.
Mr. Nickel is an absolute professional with a big heart! His advice has literally changed our lives. For all couples facing similar challenges: Don't hesitate - it's 100% worth it!
Thank you so much for this life-changing experience! 😊💕

Field report: Help, we're just arguing.
Professional couples therapy as a turning point for our relationship
Our relationship was at a critical point: arguments and the feeling that we were talking past each other dominated our everyday lives. In our desperation, we decided to seek help from Mr. Nickel - a step that proved to be decisive for our future.
From the very first session, we felt that we were in the best of hands. Mr. Nickel impressed us with his high level of professional expertise, coupled with remarkable empathy and a deep understanding of the often complex dynamics between couples. His appreciative and sensitive manner enabled him to create an atmosphere of trust in which we were able to open up.
Instead of focusing on blame, Mr. Nickel guided us to look at our relationship from a new perspective. He helped us to recognize and break through our entrenched communication patterns. We learned to really listen to each other and to express our needs clearly and respectfully. His exercises and food for thought were precisely tailored to our situation and helped us to rediscover the deep but often hidden strengths of our relationship.
A special feature of Mr. Nickel's work is his ability to address difficult issues with great patience and sensitivity, without either of us feeling pressured. His neutral yet cordial attitude gave us the feeling that we were understood and taken seriously.
Today, we look back on this process with great gratitude. Our relationship has reached a new level. Not only have we become more loving towards each other, we have also become better at resolving conflicts constructively. Above all, however, we have learned to see our partnership as a shared strength - something that sustains us, even when things get stormy.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, we can only advise you: Don't hesitate to seek professional support. In Mr. Nickel, we found someone who not only accompanied us, but really enriched us.

Thank you very much, Mr. Nickel, for your sensitive and competent support. You not only helped us to save our relationship, but also to strengthen it in the long term.

We unreservedly recommend Mr. Nickel to all couples who wish to understand and improve their relationship and find their way back to each other.

Rating for Bernd Nickel - certified systemic couples counselor.
We are extremely grateful for the support we received from Mr. Nickel. His clear, direct manner paired with his impressive competence based on life and professional experience convinced us from the very beginning.
We booked an intensive couples counseling session lasting 7 hours, but after 5 hours we had already reached the goal agreed at the beginning. We will use the remaining 2 hours if we need support or inspiration on our new path. It gives us a good feeling of security that we have the option of a free follow-up consultation at any time if we need it.
We came to Mr. Nickel's practice as an estranged couple and left as a happy couple full of hope. His attentive and competent approach made a deep impression on us and helped us move forward.
We are glad that we made the decision to seek couples counseling and have never regretted it. Thank you very much, Mr. Nickel!
Tamara and Lukáš from Slovakia

Our aim was to improve communication in the partnership. Mr. Nickel called it a reset of the marriage. We quickly felt understood. He worked on our personal strengths and weaknesses and gave us valuable, practicable food for thought with the aim of strengthening our partnership.
Mr. Nickel has a very appreciative manner and was able to assess our potential well. His valuable impulses for solutions quickly helped us in our everyday lives and led to a rapprochement.
Our personal experience in Grünstadt is a gain, a real partnership. We can recommend the counseling to anyone else.
Birgit & Klaus R.

The advice was very good. I always felt at ease. Mr. Nickel explained to me the overall structure of my relationship with my partner and made it clear to me what influence my personal development has on it. From this, concrete actions were derived to support me in my development. Even afterwards, Mr. Nickel was always available and provided further support.

The counseling helped me a lot.

My wife and I have been married for 15 years and have two children. Over the last few years, we have repeatedly had conflicts that have put us under increasing strain. We have tried to resolve these conflicts ourselves, but it hasn't worked. We felt trapped in a vicious circle of arguing, reconciling and arguing again.
We then decided to go to couples therapy. We opted for the "modern
Paartherapie Nickel" because we were convinced by the positive reviews on the Internet.
The consultation helped us a lot. Mr. Nickel is a very empathetic and experienced counsellor. He helped us to see our problems from a new perspective. He showed us how to improve our communication and how to resolve conflicts constructively.
We feel much better after the consultation. We understand each other better again and can resolve conflicts much more easily. We are very glad that we opted for couples therapy.
Mr. Nickel helped us to better understand our needs and desires.
He showed us how we can communicate more openly and honestly.
He helped us to develop conflict resolution strategies that work for both of us.
We can recommend the "modern couple therapy Nickel" without reservation. Mr. Nickel is an excellent counselor who can help couples improve their relationship.
We hope that more couples will have the courage to opt for couples therapy. Couples therapy can be a sensible investment in the relationship and help couples to live happier and more contented lives together.
Marlene and Harald Bumb

We were completely satisfied and our problem is solved. We now have a loving relationship again and were able to get out of the vicious circle. Yes, life is too short
for a bad relationship!
A now happy couple from Darmstadt.

Very direct and clear analysis of the situation and at the same time sensitive and yet always direct guidance. It has helped us a lot! Also, the combination of face-to-face meetings and video is good and helps to make regular appointments even with greater distances.

How did we experience the consultation with the couples counselor Bernd Nickel?
A couples counselor like you could only wish for.
Already at the first meeting a positive mood was noticeable. Due to the open, free and direct manner of the couples therapist, she was quickly able to find access to us! It made it easier for us to respond honestly to the questions and tasks posed. In addition, to deal constructively with each other's statements.
Overall, it was a goal-oriented, constructive, helpful, reassuring and effective consultation, which allowed us to find the right way in a short time!
Result in everyday life?
Since then, we have been able to work together in harmony. In situations of tension we do not avoid, but communicate cooperatively. Constructive communication and criticism, learned in various techniques, often prevents a crisis situation from arising in the first place!
The harmonious atmosphere increases the pleasure in life and the joy for each other and on each other.
Doris and Michael from Frankenthal

We turned to the consultant couple Doris and Bernd Nickel because I had problems which had a strong impact on our partnership.
The counseling was very beneficial for me. I could talk about all my worries and problems. All that I said was not new to my husband, but through the guiding conversation and targeted questions from the consultant couple, it was possible to structure the problems and work through them little by little. I also learned some of my husband's thoughts that I had not known before. That was good.
The consultant couple showed us approaches to work on our problems ourselves instead of prescribing ready-made solution patterns.
So I learned that there are always several points of view and that I feel much better when I open up more and am honest with myself, no matter what outsiders say.
The biggest change is evident in my thinking. By broadening my perspective, I can allow for other life plans. I no longer cling so stubbornly to my former idea, but can now make friends or come to terms with other views. As a result, I live more easily.
I have taken up ideas from Mrs. Nickel and pursued them further. After a certain time, my husband has noticed that I have become more relaxed again. Our life together is more fun again.
Conclusion: After the consultation we are much better off than before. We would take up such a consultation with the advisor pair Doris and Bernd nickel again and again.
Susanne and Dietmar from Worms

As already often read in the reviews. Her clear manner has already put us much further on a better path than we ever thought! We found the couples therapy effective and efficient, also the flexible handling of presence and online meetings.

A good investment for the future. When we booked an appointment digitally at Systemic Couples Counseling Nickel, our relationship was about to end. Now we are a happy couple.
Carlsberg and Wiesbaden are just under 90km away. This trip was also worth it.
Maria and Hans

We are reporting now with a time delay, because we wanted to let a few weeks pass after the couples therapy. We can now state that the solutions found in the couples therapy were implementable and have a lasting effect. We can now give our evaluation from the heart. The journey and the time as well as the investment were worth it. Maike and Markus R.

With our couple therapist Mr. Nickel, combine clarity, calm, professionalism and charisma. We were quick on the point. And we found a good solution. Thank you for assuring us that you would be available to us for other issues in our couple relationship! The trip from Wiesbaden to Carlsberg was worth it. We can really genuinely recommend Mr. Nickel. It was a crisis intervention that worked. Veronika and Karl. B

We treated ourselves to an intensive couple's weekend (8 hours) with Bernd Nickel. The appointment booking was also possible at short notice and completely uncomplicated. We were accompanied very competently and have worked out solutions together from which we will benefit in the long term. Mr. Nickel is an experienced coach who competently recognizes the situation and personal concerns and guided us as a couple in a goal-oriented manner. We can unreservedly recommend the consultation and would consult him again at any time.
