Couples therapy
Humans need relationships. Contact with others is essential to our well-being, but our close, intimate relationships can be complicated. It’s normal for relationships to have their ups and downs, as we age and change and as life throws new challenges at us.
On top of that, we bring not only ourselves to our relationships, but all the programming, beliefs and modelling of our parents before. And their parents before them. And on, and on… We may also bring unmet needs, fantasies of the other ‘healing’ us, and deep longings for safety.
You might be feeling distant, stuck in repeating patterns, or finding that communication has become difficult or strained.
I offer a free 20-minute introductory conversation, either by phone or Zoom. This gives you both the opportunity to ask questions and see whether working together feels right.
Sessions are 75 minutes and are priced at £85.
A space for both of you
It can be hard to talk openly when it’s just the two of you, especially when emotions run high or conversations quickly become stuck.
Couples therapy offers a calm, neutral and supportive space where both of you can be heard.
Together, we can begin to understand the patterns in your relationship, what sits beneath them, and how you each experience what’s happening between you.
This isn’t about taking sides. It’s about creating understanding, improving communication, and finding new ways of relating to each other.
If your relationship is struggling, or you find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns, I invite you to get in touch.
Couples come to therapy when something doesn’t feel right between them.
You might be:
-
Arguing more than usual, or avoiding difficult conversations
-
Feeling disconnected or emotionally distant
-
Struggling to communicate without things escalating
-
Caught in the same patterns or conflicts
-
Navigating a life change, stress or loss together
-
Feeling unheard, misunderstood or alone within the relationship.
Sometimes, it’s not about a specific issue but a growing sense that things aren’t working as they once did.
What happens in the sessions?
I work with both of you together and help create a space where:
-
Each person has the opportunity to speak and be heard
-
Communication becomes clearer and less reactive
-
Patterns within the relationship can be recognised and understood
-
New ways of responding to one another can begin to emerge
Everybody gets heard. I maintain neutrality and the focus is on improving communication rather than individual therapy.
