Every couples goes through moments of feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or caught in the same old arguments. It can be really painful — but it’s also completely normal.
The good news is, change is possible. With the right support, couples can rebuild intimacy, feel lighter, and create a relationship that feels like a safe, loving home.
I’m Tapas Dwivedi, a Relationship Therapist.
I believe every couple has the potential to turn challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.
My approach blends practical, proven tools with deep, compassionate listening. I help partners see each other with fresh eyes — flaws, struggles and strengths — and find new ways to connect, respect, and thrive together.
My Approach
Authentic Human Connection
I know what it’s like to feel stuck and disconnected — I’ve been there myself. That experience fuels my work and helps me easily connect with clients on a personal level. You can expect gentle, firm and honest conversations in our sessions.
Cutting-Edge, Evidence-based Training
My work combines 2 popular methods of couples therapy: Gottman Method, built on the most comprehensive couples research ever done, and the deep, transformative work of Relational Life Therapy (RLT). This means you get both actionable strategies and long-lasting shifts in how you relate.
Globally and Culturally Attuned
I was born in India, and now live in Berlin with my partner who is from Canada. Having lived and worked across cultures, I understand how differences in background and communication can either divide or enrich a relationship. I help couples turn those differences into strengths.

What is Relational Life Therapy?
Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is a bold, transformative approach to couples work developed by renowned therapist and author Terry Real.
Unlike traditional therapies that focus solely on communication skills or insight, RLT dives deeper—challenging power imbalances, calling out toxic patterns with compassion, and helping partners reconnect with honesty and accountability.
It’s a no-nonsense, deeply respectful method that blends psychological insight with direct coaching, making it especially effective for modern relationships.
Intimate relationships are not luxuries, but fundamental to human life.

How it works
1. Intro Call
We begin with a short introductory call to get to know each other. You’ll share what’s been going on in your relationship and how each of you feels. I’ll explain how I work, and you’re welcome to ask any questions about me or my approach.
2. Assessment
The assessment gives us a clear understanding of what’s happening in your relationship—what’s working, what’s not, and where the deeper pain points lie. We look at your current dynamics, explore the early days of your relationship, and when helpful, bring in your individual family histories to see how old patterns may be showing up between you.
3. Continued Work
Once we have clarity, we begin the real work: helping you step out of outdated roles or coping strategies, and into a more connected, conscious way of relating. We build new relational skills together—around communication, boundaries, repair, and emotional presence—so you both feel more seen, safe, and fulfilled in the relationship.
