Couples Counselling
I support couples wherever they are in their relationship journey.
I welcome couples of all types and from all backgrounds to help them understand where they are getting stuck and gain the tools they need to for their relationship grow and thrive.
My Approach to Couples Therapy
My approach to couples therapy integrates learnings from different fields in relational psychology:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): identifying each partner’s attachment style and understanding how they interact with one another to either bring comfort and peace or distress and conflict.
The Gottman Couples Therapy Method: practicing specific strategies for better communication, and greater trust and intimacy.
Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT): applying what we know about the neuroscience of emotions and human interaction to improve and strengthen the relationship.
Systemic Family Therapy: seeing the “big picture” and understanding how change in one part of the couple/family system can bring change to other parts of the system.
Transcultural Psychotherapy: recognising how each partner’s cultural background and the context in which they currently live emerges as source of potential conflict or as a positive resource to leverage.
The following are the most common issues I support couples with:
Conflict Management
Learn the tools and strategies you and your partner need to successfully navigate and manage conflict so that you relationship can grow stronger.
(Re)Connecting
Explore how you and your partner can open the channels of communication, empathy and intimacy in a safe space with professional guidance.
Separation
Navigate the challenges of separating with expert support to help you manage the process with respect, empathy and mutual understanding
Cross-Cultural relationships
Being a cross-cultural couple is an enriching experience…but sometimes the conflicts and tensions that arise are hard to navigate. Couple’s counselling can help you make sense of the intricacies of intercultural relationships.
