Gottman Referral Network

About

My name is Jan-Paul Ratajczak and I am a licensed psychologist and couples therapist based in Stockholm.

My aim is to create a warm, respectful and non-judgmental therapeutic space where both partners feel heard, understood and gradually become more connected with themselves and each other. I help couples identify the patterns that keep them stuck and develop healthier ways of communicating, repairing and emotionally reconnecting.

My clinical work is grounded in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Schema Therapy for Couples, attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (postgraduate training) and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Together, we work with both practical relationship skills and the deeper emotional needs, attachment injuries and life experiences that often shape recurring conflicts.

Alongside my work with couples, I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, stress-related conditions, burnout and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism. This broader clinical background helps me understand how individual challenges influence relationship dynamics.

I am committed to ongoing professional development and regularly participate in advanced training in couples therapy.

Mitt arbete baseras på Gottman Method Couples Therapy och integrerar Schema Therapy for Couples, anknytningsteori, kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) och emotionsfokuserade interventioner. Vi arbetar både med konkreta relationsfärdigheter och de djupare känslomässiga behov, anknytningssår och livserfarenheter som ofta ligger bakom återkommande konflikter.

Utöver mitt arbete med par har jag lång erfarenhet av att behandla depression, ångest, stressrelaterad ohälsa, utmattning samt personer med ADHD och autism. Den breda kliniska erfarenheten ger mig en djupare förståelse för hur individuella svårigheter kan påverka samspelet och dynamiken i en relation.
