Couples Therapy

Perhaps you are having the same arguments repeatedly.

Perhaps communication has become difficult, or you've stopped talking about the things that really matter.

You may feel emotionally disconnected, uncertain about the future of your relationship, or find that trust has been damaged.

Sometimes couples know they want things to change but don't know how to make that happen.

Couples therapy provides a confidential space to slow things down, understand what is happening between you and begin to explore different ways of relating.

 

What can couples therapy help with?

​

I work with couples experiencing a wide range of relationship difficulties, including:

​

• Communication difficulties

• Recurring conflict and arguments

• Emotional disconnection

• Loss of intimacy

• Loss of trust

• Infidelity and relationship repair

• Difficulties around sex and intimacy

• Separation and uncertainty about the future

• Relationship breakdown

• Parenting pressures

• Major life changes

• Differences in needs, expectations or communication

• Neurodiversity within relationships

• Rebuilding a relationship after a difficult experience

 

Understanding the pattern

​

When couples are caught in conflict, it can become easy to focus on who is responsible.

But often the more useful question is:

What is happening between you?

Together, we can explore the patterns that have developed within your relationship — what triggers them, how each of you responds and what keeps the cycle going.

Understanding these patterns can create new possibilities for communication and connection.

 

I don't take sides

​

Couples therapy isn't about deciding who is right or wrong.

My role is to provide a balanced and supportive space where both people can be heard and where difficult things can be explored safely.

You don't need to agree about what is happening in order to begin therapy.

 

Who I work with

​

I work with individuals and couples at different stages of their relationships and with different relationship structures, including couples who are:

​

• Considering whether to stay together

• Trying to repair their relationship

• Experiencing a period of significant change

• Grief or loss of a child or parent

• Navigating separation or co-parenting

• Trying to cope emotionally after a break up

• Managing neurodiversity within the relationship

• In polyamorous or ethically non-monogamous relationships

• ​Navigating sexuality, transgender and LGBTQ+ identities and relational issues

 

Starting therapy

​

The first step is simply to talk about what brings you to therapy.

An initial consultation gives us an opportunity to discuss your circumstances, what you hope to achieve and whether I am the right therapist for you.
