Couples Therapy

I work with both heterosexual and same sex couples. My approach is to explore with each couple their process together, in particular the ways in which they get stuck in dealing with and working through shared problems.  Couples may come because there is a crisis in their relationship, there are communication difficulties or because shared life-goals have changed.

Reasons include:-

• When infidelity has occurred.
• Deciding whether to continue in the relationship.
• Arguing a lot, and being hurtful to one another.
• Feeling distant and afraid to discuss certain issues.
• Loosing intimacy, both sexual and emotional.
• How to keep connected during parenthood.
• Having different views on parenting
• Developing diverging life goals
• Effect of family of origin issues on the relationship.
