Romantic relationships are rarely smooth sailing. Whilst they often begin with wonderful feelings of hope and connection, often over time and with different life stressors, couples find they get caught in negative patterns of interaction. These negative patterns might include regular arguments, hostility, shutting down, nagging, overthinking, or turning to other people or activities outside of the relationship. As time moves on, these behaviours lead to increasing amounts of disconnection between the two of you which is probably what brought you here!
As well as regular weekly or fortnightly couple's therapy sessions, for those who are time limited, we also offer an intensive sessions package. These include up to five hours per day (with breaks) for 2 or 3 days. The goal of these sessions is to help you gain a greater overview of your relationship, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your partner. This will enable you to have more clarity of your negative patterns, help you with any present crisis and find a healthier direction forward.
