Couple Therapy 

All relationships can experience periods of difficulty. Couples therapy offers a space to think together about what may be happening between you, understand recurring patterns, and explore the feelings and experiences that may be contributing to conflict or disconnection.

The work can help improve communication, deepen understanding, and support you in finding different ways of relating to one another.

You may be considering couples therapy for many different reasons, including:

  • Frequent or repetitive arguments

  • Difficulties with communication

  • Loss of intimacy or emotional connection

  • Betrayal, affairs or infidelity

  • Considering the future of your relationship

  • Separation or the possibility of separating

  • Fertility challenges or infertility

  • Parenting difficulties

  • The impact of illness or a health diagnosis

  • Work, financial or other life pressures

  • Major life transitions, including retirement

  • Pre-marital counselling

  • Wanting to strengthen or better understand your relationship

Individual Therapy

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help with a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties. It considers the whole person, including thoughts, feelings, behaviours, past experiences and relationships, and how these may continue to shape your present life.

The aim is not simply to reduce distress, but to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships and recurring patterns that may feel difficult to change. This greater awareness can support more thoughtful choices, improved relationships and a stronger sense of self.

You may be considering individual therapy for many different reasons, including:

  • Anxiety, stress or low mood

  • Difficulties in relationships

  • Understanding recurring relationship patterns

  • Loneliness or isolation

  • Life transitions or periods of change

  • The emotional impact of a health diagnosis or ongoing illness

  • Fertility or reproductive challenges

  • Experiences of betrayal, separation or relationship breakdown

  • Trauma or difficult past experiences

  • Questions around identity, sexuality or gender

  • Feeling under pressure to be in, remain in, or leave a relationship

  • Personal development and greater self-understanding
