Couples Counselling
Couples seek counselling therapy for a range of reasons, for various situations and outcomes. I work dynamically focusing on leading you both into constructive ways of moving forward and teaching you the skills to do that. I come from a place of understanding both your positions, your past history and what has led you to couples therapy. This is gives me an understanding of the pattern that has been created between you both and in which we work together to break that pattern.
Together, we learn how to break cycles and build up trust for deeper communication, deeper understanding of yourself, deeper understanding of the other, empathy and compassion. I also encourage you both to find your own voice and identifying yourself and your wishes moving forward. I do this by slowing things down, allowing time for you both to reflect and consider how you actually feel considering all aspects of the situation whether that be an affair, divorce, one night stand, communication issues, reactivity, coercive control, abuse and connection in all its forms such as desire and sex.
Having looked at what has brought you both to counselling and assessing the stage of the relationship. My aim is to create a safe environment, building up trust and enabling you to open up and understand each other's perspective. This enables you both to have greater understanding and being able to look at difficult topics whilst building resilience to stand the tension. This allows you both to have difficult conversations and find a way in which you wish to move forward given your own individual circumstances.
Individuals Counselling
I listen to what has originally brought you into therapy, slowly pulling it apart and building up trust enabling you to talk freely, encouraging you to find your inner voice, listening to different parts of yourself building your confidence and self-esteem as you start to feel seen, heard and accepted. This sets us on the path that enables you to make your own choices in life knowing you have made the right decisions for you.
This is a journey of empowerment and can provide life changing outcomes, it can be an emotionally difficult and challenging process. I’m here to listen and support your journey to find the answers you are looking for.
