Intimate partner therapy offers a space for people in relationship to slow things down and think together about how they relate. This might include partners in monogamous or non-monogamous relationships, and people navigating different relationship structures or transitions.

Sessions focus on patterns of communication, boundaries, intimacy and attachment styles, and how these shape connection, conflict and emotional safety between partners. I work in an affirming, non-judgemental way, including with people who are opening up relationships or practising non-monogamy and want support that is thoughtful, consent-led and emotionally attuned.

This work can be helpful whether you’re responding to something specific, navigating change, or wanting to understand your relationship dynamics more deeply. Sessions are offered for two people

This work might be helpful if:

• you find yourselves returning to the same arguments or dynamics without much shift

• communication feels tense, shut down, or easily escalates

• there’s a sense of distance, resentment or loss of intimacy

• you’re navigating change together, such as life transitions, identity shifts or changes in relationship structure

• trust has been impacted and you want space to understand what’s happened and what’s needed

• you want to strengthen your relationship, not only respond to a crisis

• you’re in a non-monogamous relationship, or considering opening up, and want a space that understands this without pathologising it

You don’t need to be on the brink of separation to begin intimate partner therapy. Many people come because they want to understand their relationship dynamics more deeply and relate in a more conscious, intentional way.

I also work with individuals who want to explore relationships, attachment and identity outside of partner work.

If you’re unsure whether intimate partner therapy is right for you, a free 15-minute consultation call can help you think things through and ask any questions before booking.
