Imagine a Relationship Where You Feel Understood, Supported, and Deeply Connected
Seeking relief from constant conflict? To bridge that growing gap between you? Ways to break away from unhealthy patterns of relating? Support as you navigate new or ongoing consensual non-monogamy? Or are you simply wishing to enhance your relationship and build intimacy with intention?
I'm committed to guiding clients towards greater clarity in their relationships and fostering the development of stronger relational skills. My focus is on providing support and tools to help partners understand each other better and communicate more effectively, without making unrealistic promises about 'fixing' the relationship. As a relationship counsellor and coach, my approach is deeply integrative, blending the insightful strategies of the Gottman Method, systems theory, and emotion-focused therapy with the developmental insights of Bader and Pearson, as well as the dynamic perspectives on relationships from Esther Perel and Martha Kauppi.
I emphasize the importance of understanding each partner's emotional landscape and the partner's shared history, while also exploring the impact of external systems and developmental stages on their relationship. My sessions are enriched with somatic and embodiment practices, fostering a deeper connection to bodily experiences and mindfulness, crucial for addressing stored trauma and stress. This trauma-informed approach ensures a safe and supportive environment, allowing partners to navigate their challenges with empathy and understanding.
Tailoring my methods to each unique relationship, I focus on fostering growth, healing, and a harmonious balance between individual needs and shared goals. Reach out today to see how counselling and coaching can make a difference in your relationship.
