Creating and keeping a healthy, loving and nourishing relationship as a couple can be very challenging. What seemed to be true at some point in a relationship can suddenly change in a way that could not have been anticipated. Equally, the weight of individual past history and experience can find its expression in the life of a couple in ways that can be very destructive unless approached with care and empathy.
I provide creative couple therapy to address the following issues:
- Connection and mutual understanding
- Communication and sharing
- Trust
- Anger and destructive behaviours
- Managing conflicts and disputes
- Managing new responsibilities i.e. becoming a parent or a carer
- Loss and grief
- Work life balance
- Intimacy
As part of this work, I make use of creative techniques and exercises to explore and resolve the issues that will have been brought to therapy.
The therapy is usually short-term (6 to 8 weeks) but may vary depending on the complexity of the issues.
