Tapas Dwivedi | RLT Couples Therapy

Relationship Counselling
in Berlin & Online

Hi, I am Tapas Dwivedi.

I help couples grow from their relationship challenges and become more connected and stronger together. I specialise in Relational Life Therapy or RLT, a method of couples-therapy pioneered by world-renowned therapist Terry Real.

RLT is for any two people in a relationship who:

Feel stuck in recurring, emotionally heavy arguments.
Avoid bringing things up because they don’t want to start a conflict.
Feel a growing distance from each other and want to reconnect.
Feel criticised or blamed by one another.

My approach focuses on creating a safe, judgement-free space for a couple, understanding the root of their conflicts and making progressive shifts in behaviours that lead to a more satisfying relationship.

More about me

My Approach

Authentic Human Connection

From my past relationships, I know how hard it is to feel stuck and disconnected from my partner. That experience fuels my work and helps me connect with clients on a personal level. You can expect gentle, firm and honest conversations in our sessions.

Research-backed Conflict Analysis

Along with RLT, I draw insights from my training in Gottman's Method for couples therapy, which is based on extensive research with 3000 couples across 40 years and accurately predicts what makes relationships fail or succeed.

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 direct yet deeply respectful method that blends psychological insight with direct coaching, making it especially effective for modern relationships.
