Relationship Therapy

       Utilising the support from a trained counsellor can help clients discover what is, or isn’t, going on in their relationship. To understand behaviour patterns impacting each other and to press reset and make positive change. To help re-establish connection and improve communication.

​

My aim is to support couples to feel safe and heard — by their counsellor, themselves and each other. Challenging times can burden relationships; we offer a supportive, empathetic approach. We are here to help explore areas that may be difficult and that can trigger deep negative responses within ourselves, which then come to the fore in our relationships. There is also the opportunity to splinter off as individuals, explore a particular area covered in a couple's session in more depth, and then rejoin as a couple. This combined approach develops a greater understanding of yourself and each other.

​

We ensure that we work within the remits and boundaries that individuals agree on so that everyone in the room feels safe and valid. I utilise a combination of The Gottman Method, IMAGO and Relational Life Therapy to create a safe place, incorporating speaking and listening techniques that facilitate contingent communication.
