Private Practice for Relationship and Sexual Therapy
Relationship Therapy
Relationships show us a lot about ourselves. Together we work on the things that stand between you or slow down your dynamic with others. The work pays off even without a current partner: you get to know yourself better and step prepared into whatever comes next.
Sexual Therapy
Sexuality is a fantastically complex field, and it can't be sorted out in the head alone. So I work on three levels: mind, emotions, and body. Always in tune with you.
General Psychotherapy
The psyche is rarely simple, and some things don't resolve on their own. Together we find the approach that fits you – with anxiety, depression, exhaustion, or patterns that keep repeating.
Welcome
Patricia Heinis – Private Practice for Relationship and Sexual Therapy
I’m a psychotherapy practitioner (Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie) and work with people on relationships, sexuality, and everything else psychotherapy can help with.
I bring empathy, openness, and presence. What I don’t bring is a verdict on your life, your relationship model, or your sexuality.
You can book your appointment online, and we meet at my practice in Munich or via video, from wherever you are – in English or in German. Maybe you recognize yourself in one of these:
- Individuals and people in relationships facing challenges in their changing relationship and dating lives — from communication and sexuality to polyamory.
- Individuals and people in relationships navigating crises such as separation, infidelity, or illness.
- Individuals and people in relationships living out their sexuality and relationships: kink, BDSM, fetish, open relationships, polyamory.
- Individuals and people in relationships facing sexual challenges, such as concerns around pornography use, desire, or erectile and orgasm difficulties.
- Young adults and adolescents exploring their path toward healthy relationships and sexuality.
- Expectant parents and their families in times of change.
- People who have come into conflict in the context of sexual offenses.
- Those affected by sexual offenses and the trauma that comes with them.

My Specialties
Topics that often get little room elsewhere. With me, they belong.
Kink, BDSM & Fetish
Whatever you bring, you won’t need to explain or justify it here. Kink, BDSM, and fetish are part of the normal spectrum for me.
Polyamory & Open Relationships
Your relationship model is not on trial here. I work with open and polyamorous relationships without questioning them.
Sexual Offenses
I work with people who have come into conflict in the context of sexual offenses – and with those affected. A topic with hardly any places to turn. Here it has room.
Professional support with empathy
I’m a state-authorized psychotherapy practitioner under the German Heilpraktiker Act and specialize in relationship and sexual therapy, with further training in these and neighboring fields. That’s my foundation.
What matters more to me is who I’m meeting. What’s your story? What scares you, what do you need? Where do you need clarity, and where simply someone who has your back?
Crying is allowed here, and so is laughing. Humor is part of it, compassion too. As light as possible, as heavy as necessary.
How it works
- Free intro call. You book online, we meet via video. I answer all of your questions, and you get a first impression of me.
- First session. I explain what is important in the work I do. Together, we agree on what the outcome of these sessions should be for you, and then we start with an initial anamnesis.
- Regular sessions. Usually weekly or biweekly, depending on your topics, urgency, and availability. Conditions are on the fees page.
