* I offer relationship therapy for couples, triads, polycules, throuples, de-coupling/separating/divorcing, co-parenting & friends (traditionally referred to as Couples Therapy)
I help those in relationships to deepen your connection, heal relational wounds and regulate your nervous systems together. I help to identify coping strategies, triggers, beliefs and protective strategies that keep you out of connection with one another. I explore what patterns are being repeated in your relationship so that you can move away from hurtful dynamics, fear, breaches of trust, disconnection and communication challenges. And move you towards safety, understanding, intimacy & connection. This includes sex therapy work to address sexual intimacy, connection or disconnection and differences (see My Approach for sex therapy description)
I also help you to work through the de-coupling process to reduce conflict, increase communication, understanding & cooperation and find mutual agreement, where possible to figure out the best way forward for all parties involved. This also extends to working through co-parenting, finances and dividing your life. We come into relationships offering the best of ourselves & many want to leave in the same generous, communicative & connected way. Relationship therapy for this phase can be of immense help.
Money is one of the biggest sources of conflict in relationships, often reflecting deeper emotional patterns, power dynamics, and unresolved personal histories. Together, we will explore your beliefs, emotions, early life experiences and behaviours around money, so you can create a healthier financial relationship, feel like a team & reduce conflict.
Relationship therapy with me may also look like:
co-regulation to shift from reactivity (fight, flight, freeze, etc.) to safety, connection & attunement
see each others perspectives & accept one another
(re)build safety & trust with one another and move into embodied connection & intimacy
heal and repair from traumatic experiences within the relationship
normalise and educate on sexual differences; move into acceptance & agency
finding a shared language to experience pleasure
navigating polyamory or open relationships
addressing differing money beliefs & scripts
reducing sexual and financial shame
increasing your ability to have sexual or financial conversations
understanding how trauma has impacted your sexual or financial relationship
understanding how financial stress has caused emotional distance, resentment & avoidance; helping you to reduce the stress & work through the hurts to restore intimacy
mindfully de-coupling
