All long-term relationships have unique challenges that can feel insurmountable. Through counselling, you can begin to recognize where these challenges or frustrations began and how they developed. You can also learn concrete skills and tools that can break the frustrating patterns you and your partner feel stuck in.

By communicating in new ways, you can restore and deepen the connection between you.

My work with couples is psychodynamic in orientation and integrated with practices drawn from a number of approaches including Imago Therapy.

Couples see counsellors for many different reasons like:

   Infidelity

   Frequent bickering and fighting

   Breakdown in communication

   Inability to stop destructive patterns of behaviour

   Feeling taken for granted, unsupported or misunderstood

   No longer enjoying time together

   Ethical or cultural differences

   Damaged trust or jealousy

   Less intimacy

   Challenges with parenting

   Difficulties with the stress of work and family

Counselling helps couples break unhelpful patterns, communicate more clearly, and respond to each other with empathy.

It’s a space to explore issues, rebuild trust, and strengthen intimacy. With practical guidance, partners can grow together and create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
