Couple's Therapy

Cost: $220 per session | 1 hour
​
Finding the right therapist for you is important. Contact me for a FREE initial 20 minute telephone consultation. This will give us a sense of each other. You don't need to be with your partner during this conversation, just as long as I get to speak to both partners before booking a session

​Therapy sessions are held in-person in Thornbury. I can also provide both online and telephone sessions if that is what you need. All online sessions are held through Zoom and the zoom link will be sent to you on the morning of your booked session.

Repairing Relationships With Care

Our intimate partner can act as the greatest mirror for our hidden insecurities and wounding as well as our deepest capacity to love another. So, if you have found yourself on this page, then you are ready to experience yourself and your intimate other in a very different way. Repairing the relationship has begun…..

My therapeutic approach to couple’s therapy is informed by two of the greatest couple’s therapists; Sue Johnson, who developed Emotional Focussed Therapy (EFT) for Couple’s and Ether Perel. I have completed all necessary training in Emotional Focussed Couple's Therapy with Jenny Fitzgerald,  and I have a particular interest in helping couples navigate the tumultuous aftermath of an infidelity!

Emotional Focussed Therapy is based on attachment theory and uses attachment and connection to create therapeutic transformation. EFT attempts to find new solutions to old problems and relationship distress is seen as a coping strategy. The approach explores stuck interactional patterns, emotional unavailability and insecure attachment, to reveal how each person protects themselves in the relationship. The therapist supports each person to move beyond their secondary emotions of anger, frustration, helplessness and despair, towards their primary emotions such as sadness, disappointment, fear and longing, where unmet attachment needs live. It requires each person to be with the vulnerability of the other.

Esther Perel’s amazing wisdom on intimacy, desire, sex, eros and infidelity speaks to the complexity of our capacity to love and be loved. Her work empathically enables people to take responsibility for the hurt caused to the other as well as each person’s exiled desires.
​
Couple’s therapy is a process. It takes time, commitment and above all, courage to touch into our own shadow side and own it completely. But, in the true spirit for connection and love, it’s truly worth it!

The Process

We begin the therapeutic relationship with an initial FREE 20 minute telephone consultation prior to booking any session. Finding the right therapist is a process and this initial contact will give us a sense of each other. It is important that I speak with each person, either separately or together, and that each individual initiates the contact. If you both decide to give it a go, you will attend the initial and subsequent sessions together. Individual sessions during the process are an option if each person requests it and/or I feel it would be beneficial to the relationship repair. If ongoing individual sessions are required for either partner, then I will encourage each person to seek individual therapy with another therapist.
