For couples and intimate partners: therapy can help you recognise and change unhelpful dynamics within your relationship. The work often focuses on improving communication, developing understanding, and providing tools for more productive interactions.

Conflict is one of the primary reasons couples seek therapy. Conflict is a natural experience in any relationship but sometimes it may feel like your differences are so challenging that you question whether you can stay/want to be together. Alternatively, you may feel you know each other so well, that life together has become boring or you’ve lost the feelings you once had. In relationship therapy It is important that both partners are heard, and that you hear each other, however challenging this can be. Once you feel more able to listen to each other we can focus on getting you back in touch, improving communication, rebuilding trust and rediscovering the joys of being together or finding the best way for you both to move forward. Sometimes couples have already decided to separate and come to therapy to do so compassionately and intelligently.

 

As a counsellor trained in Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity I offer Couples Counselling to those who identify as LGBTQ+ and are looking for a Queer-informed therapist.

 

Relationships are joyous but can also be complex and LGBTQ+ couples often face unique challenges. Whether you’re navigating conflict, communication, intimacy, trust or identity-related stress, you don’t have to do it alone.

 

I aim to offer a safe and affirming space for your relationship. As well as guidance through life transitions, coming out, family dynamics and more.

 

I work relationally, in a Person-Centred way, rooted in the belief that we all possess the capacity for growth, and that insight and self-awareness are the starting points for positive change.
