"Conflict delayed is conflict multiplied"

Couples often wait too long to address their issues, letting resentment build. They may worry about therapy costs without considering the greater emotional, physical, and financial toll of divorce, loss of property, and child support.

With the will and an attitude of openness, so much can be done, to not only save, but to renew relationships to another level. 

Of course, some relationships have reached their end. Help here can help you have the best separation possible, so you can move on in your life and ensure children are taken care of.

Most couples come for help saying that their communication has broken down. While this may indeed be true it is often the case that the break-down in communication and understanding is due to a clash in the dynamics that each bring with them into the relationship. Dynamics that they each carry from their families of origin.  

​

In every couple there are three relationships to work with:
 

1-Themselves

2-Their family of origin

3-With each other

​

​Are you and your partner struggling to establish a deep emotional bond? Do you find yourselves avoiding conflicts, resorting to people-pleasing, or lapsing into passive aggression? Overwhelmed by life's responsibilities—be it children, work, or looking after elderly parents—you might feel the connection with your partner diminishing. The arguments are repetitive, the spark is fading, and you're left questioning whether your partner even understands you anymore. Perhaps your relationship has even started to echo worrying dynamics from your past, such as those with your parents or former partners. But you're not here because you're ready to throw in the towel, quite the opposite. You're here because you're stuck in a cycle and are eager for meaningful change. This could be your opportunity to invest not just in a more harmonious relationship but also in a more fulfilling life.

 

Couples therapy offers a transformative journey aimed at breaking draining behavioural cycles and rekindling intimacy. We will initially focus on identifying the root causes of your relationship challenges. These could range from poor communication habits and toxic shame to past traumas that are influencing your current relationship dynamics. From there, I will guide you in developing effective communication skills, enabling you to advocate for your own needs compassionately and respond constructively to criticism. In addition, we will work on establishing healthy boundaries and enhancing self-esteem—key components for a fulfilling relationship. Finally, I will guide you towards repairing and rebuilding trust, thus laying the foundation for a resilient and enduring bond.
