Couples therapy

I see couples either in person or on zoom. In person sessions are at my practice in Totnes at Chapel House Studios. Couples sessions are usually weekly, cost £100 and last 80 mins.

I work with couples on an open-ended basis, meaning there's no commitment to any specific number of sessions and we continue working together for however long feels useful. I typically work with couples for around a year.

Our work together will be tailored to your needs but broadly I will help you -

• deepen connection with your partner

• understand your relationship dynamics

• stop the cycle of blame, attack and defense

• build empathy and understanding for one another's different perspectives

• take responsibility for your own contributions to the dynamics

• improve physical, emotional and sexual intimacy

• work through acute crises, traumas and losses

• clarify your make sense of your feelings

• build on the relationship's strengths and resources

• learn how to communicate your needs in a way your partner can respond to

• for couples who have decided to end their relationship I can help you end on the best possible terms

I know from personal experience how helpful therapy can be and I also know what a big step it can feel like. If you're not sure or have further questions then please get in touch and we can talk it through together.
