Relationship Therapy

In relationship therapy, we work together to understand what's happening beneath the surface of your conflicts. I help couples break free from the painful cycles that create hurt feelings and defensive reactions replacing them with genuine understanding and connection.

The most common challenge couples face is communication. Couples often get stuck in a place where reactive triggers have taken over much of the communication process instead of considered, kind, understanding, empathic responses.

Therapy can also assist where there has been broken trust, betrayal, infidelity and deep grief. The deepest of hurts and injury when mutually understood and felt, have the potential for resolution and healing. The therapeutic process provides an opportunity for couples to openly discuss the issues they face with each other in a safe environment. It provides the context for developing new perspectives, insights, behaviours and skills which, when implemented, can significantly improve your relationship.

Relationship Sex Therapy

When relationship tensions build up, physical intimacy often becomes another source of stress rather than connection. Sex therapy helps couples understand why desire may have diminished and how to rebuild satisfying intimacy together.

In a safe, non-judgmental environment, we explore the emotional and physical factors affecting your intimate relationship. Many couples find that addressing underlying issues and improving communication naturally enhances their physical connection.

Sex therapy works best when both partners are open to exploring solutions together. However, it's important to note that if there are understandable and accepted significant physical or emotional barriers to intimacy that for one partner is too difficult or too painful to address, the therapeutic process will be quite challenging due to the emotional pressure such therapy produces.
