Couples Therapy


How therapy can help your relationship


The aim of therapy is to work through conflict in a way that nurtures deeper understanding, closeness and connection. Learning to communicate with more emotional awareness and attunement.

Some common reasons couples seek therapy include


  • Recurring patterns of conflict or withdrawal
  • Navigating major changes in life or circumstances
  • Grief and loss
  • Betrayals of trust or commitment
  • Parenting challenges

Each person in a relationship tries to fit their inner world together with someone else in a way that feels safe and natural. Given that every inner world is different, there is no perfect fit. So conflict and difference is inevitable. But it does not need to be harmful.

My approach to helping couples work through relationship issues


In my experience, couples therapy is most helpful when both partners are guided to reflect on relationship difficulties from their own perspective, including underlying factors that influence how they feel and experience the other. This may invlove exploring past experiences, family dynamics, differences in personality and values. The process involves many of the same techniques as individual therapy, but with a focus on turning towards each other. Communicating together in ways that can be heard, understood and validated.

Frequency and cost of sessions


Most couples begin either weekly or fortnightly. Fees are $160 per session (50 minutes).
