Couple/Relationship Therapy

If you’re a couple looking for support in improving how you communicate, manage conflict, and resolve important decisions together, relationship therapy might be right for you. Whether your relationship is monogamous or polyamorous, we offer a safe space to create a healthier connection. Our experienced and qualified therapists are dedicated to helping clients explore the issues in relationships with empathy and understanding.

Our range of therapeutic approaches focus on building effective communication techniques, dealing with challenges around trust and betrayal, developing intimacy skills, and sexuality related matters. We use EFT, PACT and other relational modalities such as Imago therapy. Our therapists draw on the latest research from leading clinicians such as Esther Perel and Tammy Nelson so that our clients have numerous tools and techniques available for enhancing their intimacy and building stronger, more secure relationships.

At our practice we positively welcome all kinds of relationship configurations. We provide an inclusive atmosphere where you can work together to improve the one thing that matters most: your relationship.

“The point is that couples should feel secure in knowing they can reach out to their partner at any time, anywhere, and their partner will be receptive.”

— Stan Tatkin
