Couples Counselling and Relationship Therapy
Couples counselling for a deeper understanding of yourselves, each other, and the relationship you create together.
Relationships have a remarkable way of revealing parts of ourselves that may otherwise remain unseen.
They can bring tenderness, joy, playfulness and a sense of being deeply known. They can also reveal our vulnerabilities, our protective patterns, and the places where we struggle to meet one another.
Many couples arrive feeling caught in familiar patterns.
Arguments repeat.
Distance grows.
Good intentions somehow become misunderstood.
Relationships move through different seasons, and sometimes it can become difficult to find your way back to one another.
And often, couples come not because something is wrong, but because they want to understand each other more deeply, nurture what they have created together, or find new ways of growing alongside one another.
Sound familiar?
”Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.”
— Khalil Gibran
A space to understand what happens between you.
Together, we create a space where each person can become more deeply known, while also becoming curious about the relationship you have created together.
What do you each bring?
What happens between you when things get difficult?
We gently explore the patterns that have formed between you — what happens when one of you reaches out, and the other pulls away, when you feel misunderstood, when you long to be met in a particular way, or when the same conversation seems to happen again and again.
We become curious about what is happening underneath these moments, and about what each of you may be longing for, needing, protecting or trying to express.
We also make space for what is already working — the love, affection, strengths, shared history and qualities that brought you together and continue to hold you.
As understanding deepens, new ways of relating can begin to emerge. Not through learning to communicate perfectly, but through coming to understand yourselves, each other, and the relationship you create together.
My couple’s work is informed by Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), attachment-based and developmental approaches, and my somatic and relational psychotherapy practice.
Finding a different way of being together.
The possibility is not to become a different couple, but to discover a different way of being together—one with more understanding, choice, connection and room for the love, joy and aliveness that brought you together in the first place.
