Couples Therapy

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes" - Marcel Proust

Even the most loving couples run into challenges from time to time. Sometimes it is possible to weather the storm and the sun emerges again. At other times, however, it can feel as though, in our most intimate relationship, we are caught between a rock and a hard place: a perpetual storm, or endless, featureless cloudy days.

At times like these, when couples are struggling to break out of patterns in their relationship that are creating conflict, support can be helpful. As a couples’ therapist, my role is to facilitate a space where each couple has the opportunity to have a different conversation and to foster a deeper understanding of each person’s contribution to the relationship dynamic.

Through creative and embodied techniques, sessions aim to help couples identify and challenge relationship patterns, narratives and communication strategies.

I ideally like to work in blocks of 4-6 sessions with couples as this provides an opportunity to get to know the couple and their dynamic over a few sessions and allows a deeper engagement with the work.

Longer term work is also encouraged, the 4-6 session is a minimum suggestion.
