Couples and Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy offers a space for couples and all people in relationships to slow things down, make sense of what's happening between you and explore new ways of relating. Together, we can look at the patterns, experiences and difficulties that may be getting in the way of feeling connected, and find a way forward that feels right for you.

Sexual concerns
Sometimes there isn't a straightforward problem to name. You might simply feel that something between you isn't quite right, or that you'd like your relationship to feel different. We can start there too.
What to Expect
Relationship therapy is a collaborative process, and we’ll work together to understand what’s going on in your relationship and what you’d like to change. We’ll begin with an initial assessment, exploring your relationship dynamics, personal experiences and the patterns that may be shaping how you relate to each other.
The focus of our work will depend on what brings you to therapy. Through talking therapy, we may explore your thoughts, feelings and communication patterns, as well as past experiences and the ways you’ve come to understand yourself and your relationships. Where appropriate, we may also introduce practical exercises to support the changes you’d like to make between sessions.
Therapy can be a longer process, but you may begin to notice meaningful shifts after just a few sessions. Everything happens at your pace, and you remain in control of what you bring to therapy.
An inclusive space
Relationships can look very different from one person to another. I work with people across a wide range of identities, sexualities and relationship structures, including monogamous couples, consensually non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships, as well as people exploring kink and BDSM. I welcome LGBTQIA+ clients and relationships. Whatever your relationship looks like, you don’t need to fit into a particular idea of what a relationship should be. We’ll work with what matters to you, your relationship and the way you want to connect.
Getting Started
Finding the right therapist is really important, and I offer a free 15-minute consultation to give you the opportunity to talk through what you're looking for, what you'd like support with and whether working together feels like the right fit. If you’re ready to take the next step, please reach out to arrange a time.
