Couples

I believe that all relationships go through difficult periods at times and for
a relationship to survive it needs work, committment, communication and
understanding. Above all, it involves risk. The risk to be honest with each
other and with yourself. (This is not easy!)

Ultimately, by understanding each other better and talking about what you
want/need from each other, the physical and emotional relationship can
improve.

As the therapist, I will create a safe space for each of you to talk about
your concerns - what you are wanting/needing from each other and what
you are wanting from the relationship.

You may already have decided to end the relationship and need some
help in coming to terms with this. The therapy can help you to explore the
meaning of the ending and how to end in a way that feels
tolerable/acceptable for both of you.

You may feel the relationship is too good to end but things just don't seem
to be 'the same' anymore. The therapy can help you to look at the root
cause of the problem and discuss ways of moving forwards in a
new/different way that could breathe new life into the relationship.

Couples therapy can help you to explore the dynamics of your relationship
by looking at how you function together as a couple - the things you talk
about/don’t talk about and the role you each play within the relationship.
The therapy will help you each to understand your individual contribution
to the relationship and how you communicate together.
