​​Seeking help with your relationship can be a daunting prospect and perhaps you are confused about whether you need it or doubtful that it can help.

 

Try asking yourselves these questions. 

 

• Are we having the same conflicts repeatedly, without resolution?

• Do we feel emotionally disconnected or unheard?

• Are we avoiding difficult conversations to keep the peace?

• Have we become critical, defensive, isolated or angry?

• Has something happened that has broken the trust between us?

• Are work pressures, parenting, finances or health issues creating tension we don’t know how to navigate?

• Are our attempts to fix things on our own not working?

 

If you answered yes to several of them, then couples therapy may be of use to you.

 

I offer relationship therapy to all couples, of any gender and sexual orientation.  My approach is based on a range of therapeutic modalities, drawing on Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT), and specifically its emphasis on attachment theory; the systemic approach of family constellation work, pioneered by Burt Hellinger, which aims to identify the roots of our suffering that come from the unconscious forces of family systems; alongside other models and specialists, such as John and Julie Gottman, Terry Real, Ellyn Bader and David Schnarch.

We know that fulfilling relationships are vital to our sense of well-being and self-esteem. They shape how we feel about ourselves, improve our mental and physical health and bring joy and meaning to our lives.

 

Yet relationships are messy. They take work. Conflict is inevitable, but if we can understand ourselves better, take responsibility for our own feelings and behaviour,and draw near to our partner, we can grow stronger and closer, and build a relationship that truly nurtures and satisfies.

 

Relationship therapy with me is not just about talking. Together, we identify the key issues that your relationship is struggling with and introduce tools and tangible behavioural and attitudinal changes which bring about better communication and improved conflict resolution skills. I will help you rebuild trust and increase emotional intimacy and strengthen the partnership and commitment between you, so that you can rely on an ‘us’ to navigate life’s challenges together.
