Therapy
Fundamentally I support people to deepen their relationship with themselves and with each other. Sometimes this deepening doesn't take us to where we imagine it would. I follow what is already emerging in your experience and support you to embody that in life. Therapy can support us to discover new things about ourselves and our partners. Things that may surprise us or that we may be unsettled by, at least at first. As new things are uncovered and can be more in plain sight we can get to know them and see if they hold insight for our lives and relationships.
Who I work with.
I work with couples who experience a lot of conflict, need support making sense of this and with developing new ways of communicating with each other. I work with those who're going through changes, who're questioning what keeps them together. I work with couples who are considering whether or not to separate and would like support navigating that process. I work with those who're navigating issues such as betrayal and trust and need help to understand each other more fully.
I work with couples in monogamous relationships as well as those in open or polyamorous relationships. I work with couples who are at the beginning of their journey of opening their relationship and those who have been practising for some time. Monogamy and non-monogamy are both valid forms of doing relationship/s and I will support you with what's right for you.
I also work with polyamorous groups who are in conflict and need support to work through it and to come to agreements and understandings.
I support LGBTQIA+ individuals with navigating their experience in this often unaccepting world. I work with people who're questioning their identify and would like to embrace all aspects of themselves. I support transgender folks to make sense of their experiences and (for some) navigate their transition.
Practicalities.
I work in Stroud, UK and online via Zoom. I charge £70 per session. I currently have 2 concessionary slots available at £55 for those who need it.
Generally sessions are weekly, at the same time each week. If budget or capacity doesn't allow this then fortnightly is also possible. You decide what we focus on and we'll go at your pace, for the duration that you choose.
If you have questions and would like to speak first I offer a free 20 minute initial chat.
If, at our first meeting, you don't feel a yes to carry on with sessions, there's no obligation to continue.
