Therapy for couples & relationships:
People seek relationship & couple therapy for a wide range of reasons - from resolving a crisis, to a desire to improve the quality of connection, or moving into a new phase of relationship. Although I often work with romantic and intimate partners (in any configuration including monogamy and non-monogamy), relationship therapy is also suitable for friends, adult family members, colleagues and creative partnerships.
Therapy opens a space for both people to speak safely and be heard, to establish what’s really going on in the shared dynamic. This process is an opportunity to co-create a meaningful narrative about relationship strengths and struggles, and encourages fair and proportionate responsibility-taking, as well as reconnecting with a fundamental sense of connection.
Clients often describe changes including :
improved communication around both conflicts and desires
reduced reactivity and blame which supports access to mutual empathy
greater understanding of each other’s histories and deep-rooted patterns allowing quicker repair after ruptures
renewed connection and sense of togetherness
understanding more clearly how they got to where they are
rebuilding with strong foundations for managing future challenges
effectively managing transitions and adjusting their relationship for the next stage
