Talking in a safe space
Sometimes, conversations are fraught with emotion. Anticipation and expectation impede our ability to speak and to hear others. Our fear can lead us to avoid topics, or we can end up in arguments with the people that we share our lives with.
I will offer you a neutral space to have those more tricky discussions. A space where both individuals can give voice to things that are important to them, where both voices can be heard and understood.

What is it good for?
Negotiating Difference
We all grow up differently, our beliefs and values and behaviours are often influenced by our childhood and past experiences and significant relationships.
Sometimes we develop negative patterns of behaviour and communication. We don't always really understand the differences between us. We develop different roles, even in communication.
Couple therapy is a place where differences can be explored, understood, and accommodated or celebrated. This can reduce tension, conflict and miscommunication, to help us find a way of going on better together.
Strengthening connection
Sometimes our relationships can suffer when the other things in life get difficult, which they can do for a multitude of reasons.
When we lose our sense of connection to each other we can end up feeling lonely and isolated, unsupported, or unhappy.
Couples therapy can help us to deepen our connections, and to heal from relational wounds by offering different experiences of talking about the things that matter.
