Relationship Therapy
A space for exploration of your couple-dynamic, with curiosity, respect and authenticity.
Your Unique Relational Dynamic
Relationships in their nature are co-created and dynamic. They are the places where we experience a great deal of pain and great amounts of love and joy.
All relationships will encounter rocky terrain, through these sessions we will explore together what has created it, what is maintaining it and what you both are seeking to move forward.
My approach is non-judgemental and explorative, giving you space to share your perspectives.
What to Expect from Your Therapy Sessions
Each relationship is unique, as are the individuals in the relationship, and the challenges they face.
These sessions are held to facilitate a deeper awareness of yourself in relationship and of your partner.
-
Respect
As your therapist I maintain a neutral stance and will honour and respect each individuals’ perspectives and journey. This is a space for both of you to be heard and understood.
-
Curiosity
These sessions will facilitate openness, helping you to explore parts of yourself, your partner and your relationship that may hold importance but may have gone unnoticed.
-
Safe & Non-Judgmental
My sessions are a safe space where you can express yourself freely, without judgment. They are spaces of warmth, gentle honesty and compassion, where I walk alongside you.
Is This Therapy Right for You?
There are instances where therapy may not be helpful, if you are experiencing any of the following do consider other support;
Abuse: If your safety in your relationship is compromised then couples therapy is not recommended. Although we work on behaviours that can be harmful, this only works if both people are genuinely open to it. I would not want to risk your safety if you are not feeling safe with your partner outside of sessions. I would recommend obtaining support from
Affairs: If you are in any kind of relationship outside of your current partnership you are not fully committed to the partnership and therapy will be compromised. However if you have had an affair but ended it, and your partner is aware of it, we can work with this.
Addictions: If substance use of any kind is currently present in your relationship, the partner with the addiction will firstly need to be in recovery in order to be able to engage in couple’s work. I will not see you if you are under the influence.
Untreated Mental Health Conditions: Couple’s therapy is deep work, which can bring up challenging emotions. If there is a mental health condition such as anxiety disorder, OCD, bi-polar or clinical depression, which is not being currently treated, I would recommend working on this before engaging in couple’s therapy.
