COUPLES COUNSELLING/THERAPY

I see clients for a range of relationship issues. Some of these are:

  • Exploring obstacles to intimacy.
  • Stuck patterns of relating.
  • Negotiating important decisions such as commitment/marriage.
  • Parenting stress.
  • Mediating conflict.
  • Communication breakdowns.
  • Strong emotions: anger/sadness/fear/shame/jealously.
  • Issues of sexuality.
  • Managing the process of separation and divorce.
  • Power issues.
  • Managing crisis.
  • Affairs.
  • Ongoing support.

I approach couples work primarily using the following therapeutic approaches:

  • Emotion Focused Couple Therapy. (EFTc).
  • Relational Gestalt Psychotherapy.
  • Systemic approaches. 

Clients often find it helpful to undertake individual counselling/therapy at the same time as they undertake couples work.
