Couples Therapy Sessions

Do you yearn to feel deep love and connection?

Do you and your partner keep fighting over the same things?

Do you find yourself wishing they’d do better/ try harder/ leave you alone/ go away?

Maybe you even consider leaving.

Maybe you’re successful in every other aspect of your life, but struggle to break out of old patterns with your partner. We can push our feelings down by working long hours and having extra drinks on the weekends – but this short term avoidance leads to long term pain. Which gets worse over time. And then the whole family is affected.

If any of this sounds like you, I can help. Whether you are just seeking out some better communication strategies to get through a rough patch, or trying to create the deepest, most loving partnership after years of struggling, I have a range of tools and modalities to help you navigate the challenges that inevitably come from sharing your life with someone. I am certified in the Pyschobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT), and also trained in Intimacy from the Inside Out - the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach to couples therapy. 

Both of these approaches hold that intimate relationships are the crucible for deep inner work and healing.

It is never really about the dishes, the long hours, or the kids.  We use these to hide from the deeper issues. Often because we have no idea what those deeper issues are. In fact, it is about feeling loved, having power, and being valued in our relationship. In fact, when I work with people on their relationship issues, generally other parts of their life improve as well.

Or perhaps you've done a lot of inner work and can understand the dynamics, but struggle to shift them. If that's the case then we can dive straight into the energetic work to help get results quickly. For some clients, as little as 2 sessions is enough to go from brink of separation to feeling deeply committed again.

I love helping couples reconnect with their bodies, make sense of their emotions, heal past hurts and lay down a whole new map for a richer and more connected life together. This can be done either in person at Heart and Soul of Wellness Centre in Murwillumbah, in my therapy room in Pottsville or on Zoom.
