Let’s move forward together
-
Sessions are 50 to 60 minutes long.
-
Our focus is on the issue that has brought you to therapy. Sometimes that will link to past experiences, so we will need to process this. However, this is not where we will start or where we will stay. The focus of our sessions will be on helping you move forward.
-
Yes, the aim is to guide you towards strategies that help you move forward.
These could be strategies that you already know about but have had trouble putting into practice. Or new strategies, that might feel unfamiliar at first, but will ultimately help you move away from the noise and closer to the inner voice that has always been guiding you.
-
Sometimes we need someone to help us step outside of the issue long enough to see the different pieces making up the puzzle. Most clients know what they need to do, but there are thoughts and feelings that keep them attached to behaviours that are unhelpful. My expertise is in helping you see these different parts, find ways to put them together again and make choices that work in therapy and also in real life.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
All couples fight and our affection for each other can rise and fall. Life circumstances might be stressful, or you might be discovering new parts of yourself while your partner has remained the same. This can be normal and temporary. But when you feel stuck, and frustrated by repeating old patterns, then it is worthwhile attending couple’s therapy.
-
If your partner does not want to attend, it is best not to try and force them. Even if they come to sessions, they probably will not be in a place where they can offer the vulnerability needed to work on the relationship. Partners have different reasons for not wanting to come to therapy and if they are not ready, that is their choice. Instead of focusing on them, it would be far more fruitful for you to channel your energy into seeking the support you need to move forward, and often individual therapy can be really helpful with this.
-
No, a couple’s therapist works very hard to stay impartial. Their aim is to care for the relationship. Although sessions might sometimes land with more focus on one partner than the other, this is only in service of the relationship, not because the therapist cares for one partner more than the other.
-
Yes, we call it discernment therapy. And where it can be helpful is clearing the noise so that you can actually gauge whether the desire to separate is coming from a sense of helplessness or frustration, or from a grounded sense of knowing that the relationship is not working.
-
This depends entirely on the couple. Some couples need to work through a recent issue that has surfaced and that both are committed to addressing and resolving. Other couples are under great stress, have past trauma and are finding themselves in intense and frequent altercations or feelings of loneliness and despair. They might first need support stabilising, then learning new skills and integrating them into the relationship before they are ready to create a new relationship that serves their needs.
-
Yes, couple’s therapy is confidential. As with individual therapy, this is guaranteed unless there is concern that one or both partners will hurt themselves or someone else.
