Meryem Erkan · Individual and couples counselling online

Change your patterns. Change your life.

For everyone who no longer wants to be stuck in the same thoughts, feelings and relationship patterns.

About me

Hi, I'm Meryem.

Individual and couples counsellor based in Dubai, scientist and former lecturer at the University of Cologne and developer of the RESET Method™.

I know myself what it feels like to overthink everything and to let my own thoughts hold me back.

Today I help people understand and change their patterns, so that they stop falling back into the same reactions and conflicts again and again.

Because I am convinced: we do not have to think, feel and act according to the same patterns for our whole lives.

“It was so bad that we wanted to file for divorce. Today we are happier than ever before in our ten years of marriage.”
Konca and Metin · Couples counselling (translated)
“We have been married for more than 40 years and thought we knew each other inside out. Through the counselling we got to know each other all over again. Today we feel more connected and more loved than ever before.”
Aylin & Murat · Married for more than 40 years (translated)
“We had lost each other in everyday life. We functioned, but we hardly ever really talked to each other any more. Today we understand much better what the other needs, and we feel like a couple again, not just parents.”
Mariam & Karim · Parents (translated)
“We argued a lot and were really afraid of passing these patterns on to our child. Because we ourselves did not grow up with love, we wanted to do it differently. Even before the birth, we worked through our most important issues. Today we feel ready to give our child the home we never had ourselves.”
Elif & Emre · Parents-to-be (translated)
“Our conversations almost always ended in an argument, or one of us withdrew. Today we understand why that kept happening. Of course we still argue, but we find our way back to each other much faster.”
Anna & Daniel · Couple (translated)
“Before our child was born, we were constantly arguing over little things. Through the counselling we learned to really understand each other. Today we feel much more connected and ready to become parents together.”
Layla & Samir · Parents-to-be (translated)
“To be honest, I was sceptical at first and did not think anything would really change. But we were finally able to say things that had stood between us for a long time. Since then, things between us have been calmer and at the same time much more loving.”
Zeynep & Can · Couple (translated)
“It is wonderful when someone listens and you feel understood and that you are looking for a solution together. Many tears flowed, but they were like a cleansing of the soul. I finally feel free.”
Esra · Individual counselling (translated)
“Personally, I was able to take a lot away for myself when it comes to working on my self-esteem. There were many great ideas, exercises and approaches that motivated me to keep working on myself.”
Isa Emmerich · Workshop (translated)

A daily nudge from me.

On Instagram I share thoughts on love, conflict and self-worth, mostly in German. Short, honest and made for everyday life.
