Couples therapy invites partners into a space of vulnerability, emotional attunement and being deeply present. It is not about fixing each other but about rediscovering one another through the lens of emotional safety and responsiveness. 

 

A therapist become a facilitator of connection and reconnection, gently guiding each person to explore the fears, longings, and attachment needs that lie beneath the surface of conflict. 

​

The work is not merely about communication techniques, but about being curious and expanding the emotional awareness of the relationship, whilst making room for paradoxes like autonomy and closeness, eroticism and domesticity, anger and tenderness. Creating space where moments of rupture are not pathologised but are seen as opportunities for repair and transformation. 

​

The focus is on recognising the destructive cycles that repeat to keep partners locked in defensiveness and  or distance. It also involves helping them co-create new patterns to move forward based on accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement. The goal is not about creating perfect harmony, but emotional resonance to support the couple in feeling 'seen' by each other.
