If you or your partner are considering therapeutic support, you are probably feeling stuck in a joyless and often painful relationship, and you may be looking for a way to break out of a cycle of emotional conflict.

I offer a neutral, non-judgemental environment where both of you can feel safe to express your thoughts, emotions, and concerns openly.   I guide both partners in exploring the underlying factors that may have contributed to the unhappiness in the relationship.  This provides insight into what went wrong and helps you address these root issues.  Feeling heard and understood is the first step towards healthy relating, and I support you both to learn new ways of communicating, new strategies and conflict resolution techniques to help you manage disagreements in a healthy and productive way.   My approach focuses on reducing resentment and finding solutions and more meaningful interactions that work for both partners.

Should I stay or should I go?

If either or both of you are considering throwing in the towel on your relationship, I am equally respectful of this.   I support you through the decision-making process, helping you to look at the bigger picture, to see if the relationship is salvageable and whether you are both willing to commit to the hard work of rebuilding the relationship.   My role is to help guide this conversation, allowing you to make an informed, heartfelt decision about the future, finding a path forward that leads to growth, whether individually or as a couple.  I help you identify negative cycles of recurring patterns of behaviour that lead to conflict or dissatisfaction.  Setting clear boundaries for the future is a way of breaking these patterns, so that you can replace them with healthier dynamics. 

In Summary

My role is to guide you through challenges, promote understanding, and help you build a stronger, more resilient relationship.   Whether you’re seeking to resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, or simply deepen your connection, I offer the tools and support you need for lasting change.   And if, after exploring all your options, you decide to go your separate ways, I support you to bow out graciously and with dignity.
