When difficulties begin to affect your relationship, it can help to take time to discuss them together. I’m Franck Dibouës, a clinical psychologist practising since 2003 and working in Singapore since 2019. I offer couples therapy using the Gottman approach, with consultations in French and English in Singapore’s Central Business District and online.
A space to discuss your relationship
You may be finding it difficult to communicate, returning to the same disagreements or feeling more distant from one another. Living abroad can also change how partners share responsibilities, maintain their careers and find support. You do not need to have a precise explanation of the difficulty before making contact.
We begin with your concerns and what you would like to work on. The first appointment is an opportunity to discuss your situation, ask questions and consider whether couples therapy is an appropriate format for you.
The Gottman approach and clinical supervision
I offer couples therapy using the Gottman approach. My couples therapy practice is supervised by Géraldine Koempel. You can learn more about her work at Couples in Progress.
Our work is adapted to your circumstances and the goals we discuss together. We review how the work is progressing and consider any adjustments that may be helpful.
Consultations in French and English
In-person consultations take place at 150 Cecil Street, #07-02, Singapore 069543. Online appointments are also available; please contact me to discuss whether this format is suitable for your circumstances.
You can send a message on WhatsApp at +65 9645 9141 or use the contact form to discuss availability. Please ask about the duration and fee for couples sessions when arranging your appointment.
