Couple Psychotherapy

What will happen?

Initial contact is usually made by one partner over the phone or via email. You will have been referred to me by a third party, or you will have found me yourself. During our first phone call I will invite you to tell me a little of what is motivating you and your partner to want to see me. We will arrange an initial meeting for the three of us.

During this appointment, I will listen carefully to your shared account of what is troubling you in your relationship. The three of us will think together and try and understand some of the issues that are causing difficulties. If we all agree that further discussion would be helpful, then the three of us will meet regularly for an initial exploratory period. During this initial process, I will continue to listen carefully and share my insights and ideas with you and we will think together about what is happening for you.

We will discuss the treatment options which appear to be indicated and we will agree on how to move forward with the therapy.
