ABOUT COUPLES THERAPY

"A relationship requires a lot of work and commitment." Greta Scacchi

​​

All close relationships have their ups and downs. There are so many pressures on our lives and on our time. From family to finances, from children to communication, from intimacy to the familiar routine of our daily lives. Many couples can struggle and go through difficult times.

​​

Feeling secure, happy and connected in a relationship is crucial to our emotional wellbeing.

​​

The aim of couples therapy is not to point the finger and blame, but to help both parties reconnect emotionally. It is the opportunity to listen to our partner differently, learn to communicate more effectively and create, if appropriate, a happier and healthier relationship going forward.

​​

Couples therapy offers the space to explore feelings and reflect on relationship and interaction patterns. It can help you resolve past relationship trauma and loss, and understand why you behave as you do in intimate relationships.

​​

Couples bring a wide range of issues to counselling, from lack of intimacy and communication breakdown, to trust, jealousy, and infidelity issues. Family conflicts and difficult life transitions can cause problems within a relationship, as can work-related stress or financial problems.

​​

As your couples therapist I can provide a safe and supportive space to explore your difficulties and help you find a way through. I can support you to understand how to communicate differently, to see each other again through different lenses. I can offer you tools to better express yourself and your needs, place boundaries and create healthier relationships. I can hold a space for you to truly consider what it is you want from the relationship and whether this is possible for you both.
