Helping couples improve communication and move beyond unhealthy conflict

Your conversations are stuck, tensions are building, and closeness is being eroded. You feel frustrated, unheard, and confused. This tension might flare up quickly and erupt into arguments, or simmer away in extended punishing silences. You long to reconnect with what brought you together in the first place, and to build something even more meaningful.

Couples therapy can help you take a step back, identify the patterns, understand the emotional triggers driving them, the significance to each partner, and why a seemingly insignificant issue for one person can be overwhelming for another.

Healthy relationships evolve through natural stages, and couples often get stuck navigating the transition from one stage to the next. This often shows up as:

• Intimacy issues

• Betrayal and infidelity

• Distance and isolation

• Communication breakdown

• Frequent and repeated arguments

• Conflict about money and finances

One partner might want things to stay as they were, the other may long for something different, but struggle to put these feelings into words, without the other feeling rejected or criticised.

Couples therapy is a place to make sense of what is happening between you. Our work will look at the deeper emotional patterns and protective strategies that may be keeping you disconnected. We will explore how you communicate, how you respond when you are hurting, and what you each need to feel emotionally safe and understood, as well as exploring some of the needs you may not be able to put words yet.
