We all desire to be in a loving relationship and when there is a problem in our significant relationship we become distressed. We are designed as people to be attached to others, in a close loving relationship. For many years I trained in many different couples’ therapies which helped me understand what was going wrong in relationships. However, the past year I have obtained extensive training in Emotion Focused Therapy which is researched based and has a 75% effectiveness rate to help couples repair their relationship and understand how they used to get caught in negative patterns. The results are transformative as couples are able to regain trust and a secure connection with the person they love.

Very often people living together still miss love, intimacy and affection for a variety of reasons: stress, career goals, lack of trust, inability to communicate. In other cases, couples long for the feeling and harmony they experienced when they first met, and they complain that the chemistry in their relationship has changed - perhaps - irreparably. My counseling highlights the importance of IMAGINATION and CHANGE. Talking to each other is useless unless people make an effort to project themselves together into the future as two changing entities. Learning how to dream together as two dynamic individuals is vital to building a relationship that accepts and wins the challenges of life.
