Couples therapy is an opportunity to resolve issues you are struggling with in your relationship. As two individuals you have your own values, belief systems and behaviours. It is natural that in your couple dynamic some of these will be complimentary similarities, some will be complimentary differences and others will be conflictual differences. It can be very distressing when the balance of your relationship tips into conflict. The conflict can be noisy or silent and withdrawn. Reaching out and getting help is where the work begins to look at the relationship dynamic and examine where is the potential for reconciliation, growth and renewed intimacy.

​

Individual therapy is a space to discuss your own behaviours, thoughts and feelings that you are struggling and want to share and select with the opportunity for a deeper understanding of yourself and an examination if you are wanting change. The environment we grow up in, learn in and work in establishes the set of thoughts and emotions that we take on, the way we respond to these is our reactive behaviour and this forms how we are. Looking at all these elements provides the opportunity for wider ranging conscious choices and long lasting change.

​

Facing separation can be tough, talking through what that looks like can help to decide whether reconciliation is wanted or confirm it is time to part. Getting support in this can be the difference between a good or bad split. There is considerable research showing that the impact of a difficult break up can be damaging for families and wide social connections. More people are reaching out for support in this and recognise the challenges of doing this alone. Clients often tell me "We don't know where to start or what to expect. We have never done this before".
