Couples counseling in Bern, Solothurn & online
Neurodiverse & culturally sensitive couples counseling for relationships that don’t fit standard boxes.
I support couples who want to understand each other again: with ADHD, autism, high sensitivity, intercultural dynamics, breaches of trust or long-standing relationship patterns.
What I help with
When love is there, but translation is missing.
Many couples don’t fail for lack of goodwill, but because they process stress, closeness, withdrawal, language or expectations completely differently. That’s exactly where my counseling comes in.
Neurodiverse relationships
ADHD, autism, high sensitivity or giftedness can strongly shape communication, daily life, sensory processing and closeness-distance.
Intercultural couples
Different origins, language, family and values don’t have to divide when both sides are understood and put into context.
Trust & injuries
After affairs, withdrawal or repeated conflicts, it takes clear conversations, boundaries and a realistic path back into connection.
Long-term relationships
When habit turns into distance, I help make old patterns visible and develop new forms of closeness and cooperation.
About me
I work where people love each other but no longer reach one another.
I’m Mona Napiatek, a psychologist who graduated in 2007 with over 15 years of experience in counseling, coaching and psychological support. My focus is on couples whose relationship has become complex through neurodiversity, cultural differences, high strain or long conflict patterns.
My work is warm, direct and structured. I translate between inner worlds without making anyone the problem. Instead of deepening questions of blame, we look for patterns: What keeps happening? What does each person really need? And what concrete change is possible in everyday life?
I counsel in German and English, on site in Bern/Solothurn or online. My stance: a good relationship doesn’t have to work perfectly. It needs orientation, honesty and tools that fit the people, not a textbook.
What sets my counseling apart
Six features of my work
Bilingual
Counseling in German and English, especially helpful for international couples.
Neurodiversity-informed
ADHD, autism and sensory processing are not pathologized but understood practically.
Culturally sensitive
Family, origin, values and communication styles are actively considered.
Down-to-earth
We work with situations that really happen: arguments, withdrawal, overwhelm, misunderstandings.
Well-founded
Psychological knowledge, a systemic perspective and evidence-based methods come together.
Clear & warm
I hold the space respectfully but not evasively. Difficult topics may be named directly.
Approach
How working together can look
1. First contact
A short inquiry via WhatsApp, email or phone. We clarify whether couples counseling, individual coaching or online counseling fits.
2. Orientation
In the first sessions we gather topics, goals and patterns. Both perspectives get space.
3. Understanding
We make visible what lies behind conflicts: needs, protective strategies, stress reactions, expectations.
4. Transfer
Between appointments, small exercises help test new conversations, boundaries or routines in everyday life.
