Couples therapy · Online
You love each other, but you are exhausted by living this way
Another conversation ends in an argument. There are issues you would rather avoid. You share a life and yet sometimes feel alone in the relationship. You can want to stay together and need to work on how you are living together.
Explore the couples processWhat we work on with you
Your relationship, starting from each person’s experience
We want to hear both experiences: what hurts, what you expect from each other, and what happens when you try to connect. The work starts from your actual relationship and the issues that need attention now.
Conversations that keep returning to the same point
You want to talk about something important and end up defending yourselves, making accusations, or pulling away. We can attend to what happens between you and how each of you experiences it.
Distance that has become part of everyday life
Things work on the outside and you manage practical responsibilities, but feeling supported is difficult. We work with that distance, what has been left unsaid, and what each of you wants to consider.
Decisions about the relationship
There may be doubts about how to continue or what you no longer want to sustain. There is space to address those questions. The decision to stay together or separate is yours.
Our therapeutic model · MAT
A shared focus for working on your relationship
We work according to MAT, the therapeutic model developed by Víctor Silva and applied by Marcela and Víctor. We look at how each person experiences the relationship, what the situation means to each of you, and how both of you participate in what needs to be worked on.
The individual interviews and joint meetings allow us to hear both experiences and define the reason for seeking support and the focus of the process with you. You do not need to experience the same thing or explain it in the same way to begin working on it.
What happens during the week is addressed in relation to that concern. A conversation, a conflict, or a recent sense of distance can help us see how the issue we are working on appears in everyday life and give the work continuity between sessions.
We work towards bringing the process to a close. At the end of the eight sessions, we review the work and discuss the next step. The number of meetings does not guarantee an outcome; continuing or bringing the process to a close is agreed with you, without any automatic booking or purchase.
Learn about MATThe eight-session process
First, hear each person. Then, work together.
The same therapist works with you throughout the process. We begin with an individual space for each partner before moving on to joint meetings.
An individual interview
With one partner, to hear how they are experiencing the relationship.
An interview with the other partner
The other partner also has their own space to share their experience.
Six joint meetings
We work with both of you on what happens in the relationship and return to what takes place between sessions.
Before beginning the block, each partner completes their preparation form. You can express a preference for Marcela Gómez or Víctor Silva, subject to availability. Online therapy in English is with Marcela.
What is included
- Eight 60-minute online sessions: two individual and six joint.
- The same therapist throughout the process.
- Individual preparation by each partner through a form.
- An expected frequency of one session per week.

An individual consultation about your relationship
You may need to work on a specific situation, consider a decision, or explore how you are experiencing the relationship, even if your partner does not take part.
Only one person attends. The person requesting the consultation chooses which partner attends. The meeting can remain a one-time consultation.
USD 250 · One 60-minute online session
If you later agree to continue
If you decide to begin the eight-session process and there is availability, this consultation counts as the first individual interview. The other partner then has their individual meeting, followed by the six joint sessions.
The amount already paid is deducted from the total fee of USD 1,600. The individual consultation does not automatically reserve a place in the process.

Questions and practical arrangements
Can one of us get in touch to ask?
Yes. You do not both need to arrange the first inquiry about the format, fee, or availability. You can write to us yourself, briefly tell us what you are looking for, and ask your questions.
The couples process itself does require both partners’ participation and willingness. Before beginning, each partner completes their form. The individual interviews with the therapist who will work with you are the first two sessions of the block.
What if my partner does not want to participate?
You can seek support for yourself even if your partner does not want to take part. An individual consultation about your relationship allows you to work on a specific situation; an individual process offers continuity to explore how you are experiencing that relationship, your boundaries, and your decisions.
That work focuses on your experience and what is within your control. It does not replace your partner’s participation or guarantee changes in them. If you both later want to seek support, we can consider the couples format according to the situation and availability.
Explore the individual processDo we need to have decided to stay together?
No. You can seek support while that decision is still open. We can work with each person’s experience, doubts about the relationship, and what you need to consider in order to decide.
The work does not decide for you whether to continue or separate. We hear both experiences and work on the agreed concern, leaving the decision about your relationship with the two of you.
What if one of us has already had an individual consultation about the relationship?
If you later agree to begin the couples process and there is availability, that consultation counts as the first individual interview. The other partner then attends their individual interview, followed by the six joint sessions.
The USD 250 already paid is deducted from the USD 1,600 total. The consultation can remain a single meeting and does not automatically reserve a place in the process.
What do we review at the end of the eight sessions?
We return to the reason you sought support and review with you what has been worked on, how you are experiencing the relationship, and what still needs attention. Bringing the process to a close is considered in light of that work and both partners’ situations.
We can bring the process to a close, continue session by session at USD 250, or agree on a new block, according to what makes sense and availability. If you choose to continue, we discuss the focus and scope of that work. There is no automatic renewal, booking, or purchase.
Eight sessions do not guarantee reconciliation or the resolution of every difficulty. The decision to continue or end the relationship remains yours.
How are appointments and rescheduling arranged?
Online therapy is for adults. Appointments are agreed each week; the block is expected to take about eight weeks, with a suggested maximum of twelve.
To request a change, give us at least 24 hours’ notice. We will look for another time within the same week. If there is no availability that week, we agree on another date and you keep the session. With less than 24 hours’ notice, the session is counted as used.
Places are limited. When there is no availability, we offer a waiting list. Online therapy in English is with Marcela.
