Bereavement
When you're experiencing difficulties as a couple, it might be that you're simply seeking new ways to navigate old conflicts. The aim of couples therapy is to help you find healthy ways to communicate together. I like to think of it as finding a way to argue well together, and then working out how to repair things afterwards.
When relationships become stuck – whether that's you and your partner, you and your sibling, a parent or colleague – having these tricky conversations together with a trained therapist can support you in conducting this dialogue constructively and help in sharing your vulnerability.
Couples Therapy
As a systemic therapist, I can work with you individually to help you understand any emotional difficulties connected to your relationships. I offer a safe space for you to talk openly about any issues or dilemmas you may have – personal or professional.
Problems in your work life, for example, may be spilling over and affecting your other relationships. Individual therapy offers you the opportunity to develop your potential, strengthen your self-worth, and regain balance of mind whilst navigating all kinds of relationship turbulence. Ultimately, to equip you with skills to steer yourself towards the life you wish to lead.
Individual Well-Being
When any one person in your family is experiencing difficulty or distress, it usually has an impact on everyone else in the family unit, even if it affects each person differently.
Stressors can be acute, temporary, or they can be cumulative, seeping into various aspects of your family life to cause pain, confusion, worry and uncertainty for everyone. Patterns inevitably emerge between different family members and sometimes these are unhealthy.
Family therapy is not about deciding who is right or wrong in any given situation. Instead, it explores the various inter-family relationships and focuses on how each affects the other, and the family as a whole.
