Ms Emilija Sabaliauskaite, BPsych

Relationship Therapist

“I’m an integrative sex and relationship therapist in Rotterdam, offering sessions online and in person. I help individuals (whether single, in a relationship, or healing from heartbreak) and couples navigate dating, communication, intimacy concerns, conflict and life transitions. www.coretherapy.nl”

About Me

I am someone who believes that loving relationships aren't found, they are created. My lifelong curiosity about what makes relationships flourish shapes the way I show up in sessions. Clients often experience my presence as calm, gentle, and collaborative.

Approach

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to support the unique dynamics of each individual and couple. I’m trained in the Gottman Method, which offers practical, evidence-based tools for building strong, emotionally fulfilling relationships. I’ve also trained with Dr. Tammy Nelson, with a focus on intimacy and sexual healing, and with Dr. Alexandra Solomon, whose work is especially focused on helping single clients understand their relationship patterns and prepare for healthy love. Influenced also by Esther Perel, my style is warm, engaged, and active, blending solution-focused tools with relational insight. My aim is to help you better understand your patterns, navigate challenges with clarity, and create deeper, more authentic connections - with others and with yourself. You might wonder what it’s like to work with me. I often describe it like running a marathon with a supportive companion - not someone shouting from the sidelines, but someone jogging just off to the side, keeping pace. I’m there to cheer you on when you find your rhythm, and offer a gentle breath of perspective when the path gets hard. Sometimes I’ll give you a high-five, other times a soft nudge forward - but always with care.

Services

My practise is guided by the values of compassion, collaboration, and curiosity. Our work together will invite awareness, change and new ways of relating. I believe that love can hold both joy and challenge, and that meaningful connection begins with self-awareness and emotional safety. As I like to say: “Loving relationships aren’t found, they are created.” I provide therapy for both individuals, whether in a relationship, single, or healing from heartbreak, and couples. For Individuals: Therapy for individuals is a space to reflect, gain clarity, and create meaningful change in your love life. This could mean improving an existing relationship, preparing for a healthy new one, or healing after break-up. Areas I can help with include: - Navigating dating life (including dating profiles and strategies for finding a partner) - Understanding and shifting unhelpful relationship patterns - Healing after heartbreak, divorce, or infidelity - Managing relationship anxiety or fear of commitment - Building self-esteem, self-confidence, and relational skills For Couples: Couples therapy begins with a three-session assessment (two joint sessions and one individual session with each partner, including Gottman Questionnaire) to fully understand your relationship dynamics, strengths, and challenges. From there, we work on building deeper understanding and practical skills. Areas I can help with include: - Improving communication and conflict resolution - Working through recurring patterns or unresolved tensions - Rebuilding trust - Addressing intimacy and sexual concerns - Navigating life transitions together - Strengthening connection and partnership
