Couples Therapy

Relationships are at the core of our existence however more often than not, we do not talk about them in-depth. Instead we may have a tendency to brush over and neglect them. As Psychotherapist, Esther Perel says, "the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives" so choosing to invest in your most important relationship(s) will enable you to build closer bonds with your partner and increase life satisfaction and wellness.

Goals & Objectives:

The major aim is to increase your knowledge of yourself, your partner and the patterns of interactions between you. Therapy becomes effective as you apply new knowledge to cease ineffective patterns and develop healthier ones.

Key Tasks:

Increasing your clarity about

• The type of life you want to establish together

• The type of partner you aspire to be in order to establish the kind of life and relationship you want to create

• Your individual blocks to becoming the type of partner you aspire to be

• The skills and knowledge necessary to achieve these tasks

Couples Therapy can help if you are:

• struggling to maintain a clear sense of yourself in your relationship, conflict avoidant, people pleasing or, caught in a blame / defend cycle

• in a relationship characterised by hostility and competition

• struggling to balance togetherness and separateness

• returning to the same fight and issues over and over again

• no longer turning towards each other for support

• in the aftermath of a betrayal, breach of trust, affair or infidelity
