Why Have Therapy for your Relationship?

​

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 and family obligations. 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. 

Using Imago Therapy you can learn to communicate with each other more clearly, without defensiveness and non-judgementally.

Couples Therapy-what can you expect?​

​

​​​​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 and with my support we can find areas that need attention, learn new ways of communicating with each other , build your knowledge of each other and help to strengthen the bond between you.
