Are you and your partner having frequent arguments that leave you distant and disconnected or uncomfortable?
Are you and your partner having a hard time getting on the same page about finances, parenting, extended family, sex, work, communication, and so on?
Have circumstances such as mental and physical health taken a toll on your relationship?
Has your relationship changed? Your roles changed? And are you having difficulties adjusting to this change?
Are you relying on your partner/spouse to be your everything: best friend, support system, roommate, co-parent, business partner, romantic partner?
Has an affair come between you and your partner?
Is one or both of you afraid that your relationship is beyond repair?
Great relationships can add to your life and when things go wrong it can erode your confidence and sense of self. Relationship therapy could be the greatest investment in your own health and wellbeing and for your partner and family.
Relationship therapy can help you deal more effectively with issues in your relationship. It may not be possible to resolve the problems completely. The aim of this kind of therapy is to get a better understanding of each other and to decide if you need to make changes in your relationship.
I will help you talk about the different issues in a way that does not leave you feeling alienated and disconnected. The aim is to help you work together as a team. Much of my work is focused on helping you create a safe and secure bond/connection. When your bond is secure it does not matter what life throws at you. Together you will be able to deal with life's struggles. Ultimately, you will discover how to strengthen your connection, keep negative energy under control and take charge of a shared journey.
I operate from the Developmental Couples Model, a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding the evolving dynamics between partners. The Developmental Couples Model helps couples understand and navigate the complexities of their relationship by focusing on personal growth, emotional connection, and effective communication. This model recognizes that relationships evolve over time and that each partner’s development influences the dynamic between them. Through this framework, couples gain deeper insight into their individual needs, attachment styles, and patterns of behavior. The therapy process involves exploring how each partner contributes to the relationship’s challenges and strengths, while learning new ways to communicate, problem-solve, and support one another.
My goal is to support you in creating lasting change and growth, both individually and as a couple, so that you can experience greater intimacy, trust, and fulfillment in your relationship. (see more under approach)
If you are interested in relationship therapy please get in touch. I offer an initial 15 mins consultation with no obligation or commitment to book any further sessions. This will give you a chance to see if you feel comfortable with the way that I work.
