Relationship Therapy
Are you arguing more? Unable to have a calm discussion without one of you walking away?
Counselling can help you to learn to communicate clearly and calmly.

Why Have Therapy for your Relationship?
​
​
​
​
​
As Esther says-our relationships with others can be very rewarding and enrich our lives; however, what if they are instead making us feel utterly miserable?
If they are dysfunctional, they may affect our self-esteem and even affect our health.
We need other people in our lives, although the amount and strength of the relationships we have can vary hugely. If your intimate relationship has become strained for whatever reason, I can help you and your partner to take a closer look at your relationship in a calm setting.
​
What Type of Issues do I see clients for?
​
Perhaps you feel you aren't very connected anymore or you have noticed you are spending a lot of time apart and the relationship has lost a feeling of closeness? Let's face it, life gets busy with work, children, family obligations so we can be pulled on from many different areas of our lives. Some of lifes' busyness can't be avoided but relationships benefit from spending some time and effort on them.
​​​​​​​​​Perhaps you are both struggling to communicate? Arguing a lot or maybe giving your partner the silent treatment? Therapy can help you to communicate better and see the patterns you may have fallen in to without realising.
​
Who is Relationship Therapy For?
​
Anyone in a relationship. Whether you're in a gay or straight relationship, whether you have been together years or have just got together, I have a wealth of knowledge to help you resolve your difficulties. It is best if you both attend, but I can work with you alone to understand how you feel about your relationship.
"There is no greater source of joy and meaning in our lives than our relationships with others"
Esther Perel

With help, we can learn to communicate better with our partner, especially about the difficult topics we try to avoid.
My Approach
​
In couples therapy, I am influenced by the work of the Gottmans, Harville Hendrix and Esther Perel.
