Couples / Relationship Therapy

Available face-to-face

Are you looking for effective relationship counselling in Brighton and Hove that will help you reconnect, improve communication and sustain meaningful change?

The quality of our relationships greatly determines our quality of life and I am passionate about helping people to connect. In relationship therapy I work by focusing attention on relational dynamics and communication skills. Partnerships tend to improve when couples develop fundamental skills for navigating their challenges.

Learning new ways of communicating takes time, courage and commitment and with and the help of an effective relationship therapist, partners can often repair and strengthen their relationship.

Couples therapy can help:

  • Communication challenges or repetitive arguments
  • Opposite needs for closeness/ connection & distance/ freedom
  • Lack of responsiveness, accessibility, initiative, engagement
  • Feeling insignificant, unheard, resentful, alone
  • Criticism, complaints and demands versus affirmation and requests
  • Confusion and heartache over recurrent misunderstandings
  • Cycles of blaming, interrupting, debating, etc.
  • Emotional unavailability, withdrawal, walling off, shutting down
