You know it's possible. In fact, you've felt it before.

There was a time when your relationship felt easy. Natural. 

But lately, you feel completely disconnect. Lost. Alone.

Maybe you’re struggling with something that happened recently, or perhaps something happened long ago and your relationship never really recovered. Maybe it seems like you’ve both just been drifting apart slowly.

Regardless of what’s happened (or what hasn’t happened), this is where you’re at and you’re ready for change.

Something’s got to change.

Using the most effective and scientfic couples therapy in the world, The Gottman Method, we will work to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy in conflicting situations, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.

If you or your partner are struggling with any of the following relationship issues, couples therapy is advised:

• Frequent fights or conflicts

• Infidelity, trust, or commitment issues

• Poor or problematic communication
• Issues with sex life or intimacy

• Disagreements or strain over finances

• Feeling disconnected or misunderstood

• Complications with relatives (i.e., in-laws) and friends

• Problems related to raising children, parenting styles, and other family stressors

• Differences in beliefs and decision-making

• Major life changes

• Reoccurring thoughts of separation or divorce
• Infertility struggles and challenges

 It is incredibly easy to let the day-to-day stress of work, kids and family affect you – not to mention external issues that may not be addressed, like differing family dynamics, mental health issues and unexpected life events.

Your relationship doesn’t have to be in total crisis for therapy to make a significant difference.

Even the healthiest and strongest relationships experience times where one or both partners feel lonely, stuck, or like their love has run its course.

The truth is, every relationship can benefit from couples therapy. We all have space to grow and therapy can help lay the groundwork in preparing for challenges that may come our way.

Couples therapy begins with the most thorough and scientific assessment to date.

Appointment 1:
During our first session together, we will discuss the history of your relationship, as well as the current pain points – what’s bringing you in for therapy now. A short conflict assessment will take place where both partners wear a pulse oximeter and discuss an area of disagreement. During this time, I will observe you, your heart rate, and communication styles whilst you talk.

Following this appointment, you will both be asked to complete a very thorough online 450 item questionnaire through the Gottman Institute, called the “Relationship Checkup” (£35 one time fee). This online couples assessment tool automatically scores a relationship’s strengths and challenges and provides specific recommendations for intervention.

Appointment 2 &3:
Each partner will be scheduled to return for one individual appointment. During this time, the therapist and partner will discuss their concerns for the relationships, as well as a more thorough interview of their background, relationship/communication habits and learned behaviours, history of relationships and attachment figures, etc.

Appointment 4:

After your assessment, I will provide you both with thorough feedback about your relationship, The Relationship Report, what I think has happened to get you to this point, and how I can help.

From here, we will discuss frequency, duration, and goals for therapy. 

Appointment 5+:

Intervention begins.

The interventions are designed to help couples strengthen their relationships in three primary areas: friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning. Couples learn to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions and to repair past hurts.

Interventions designed to increase closeness and intimacy are used to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection, and create changes which enhances the couples shared goals.

Relapse prevention is also addressed.

You love your partner, and you’re determined to find lasting happiness – and you deserve that.

Couples Therapy: £85 per session
Each session lasts 50-55 minutes.

Yep, I totally get that.

All couples go through periods of difficulty, whether due to life transitions, loss, infidelity, or simply feeling disconnected.

Choosing to get help by seeing a therapist can be difficult, but it can be the first step towards creating a better relationship.
