What is Couple Therapy?

In our couple sessions we explore and identify unhelpful patterns of relating and coping and together find the resources within you, your partner and your relationship's space to achieve satisfying and fulfilling ways of being and relating.

Life events such as moving home, a new job, a birth, a loss, a break-up, affairs, difficulties in communication, are amongst some of the common themes and events for which couples seek clarity and support. These difficulties can result in couples distancing, triggering past attachment injuries and lead to isolation and feeling stuck in unhelpful dynamics.

The work is focused on the emotional and relational meaning of the difficulties clients experience, with the aim to reach a view of self and self-in-relationships that is fulfilling and connected.

By exploring and gaining awareness of beliefs and narratives you both hold about past events, of yourself and others, we uncover how your emotions and behaviours have been influenced by these and how thanks to this awareness you will regain a secure and confident sense of agency in how to live your life with authenticity and find the right fit in your expression and commitment to your and your partners' needs and how you can remain present in your intimate and wider relationships for more connecting and satisfying encounters.

The way you will start to experience positive change and the course of the therapy process will vary depending on what you have experienced in your life, whether you and your partner have had previous or different experiences of therapy before or whether you may be at different stages of readiness in committing to the therapeutic process or wanting a different outcome.

I encourage a therapeutic relationship of transparency, where you can share what feels it's working, what isn't, so we can review your goals, the pace of the sessions, think about other themes that may be emerging for you unexpectedly, how the therapeutic relationship may be informing new territories to explore and how we can continue to build and shape a safe and containing experience of your understanding and embodying of your preferred change.
