Relationships are hard work. Don't be discouraged, I am here to help!
My foundational therapeutic approach is narrative therapy, which is non blaming, non shaming, empathetic but accountability holding and results orientated. I also draw on a number of other models and modalities including The Developmental Model, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Informed Therapy.
See here for more information on narrative therapy as well as my qualifications and experience.
Sessions are 90 minutes long, $185 (incl gst). I currently work online via zoom or in-person in Kingsland.
The first session is to get to know each other, the issues you are wanting to work on, to understand my theoretical approach and get an understanding of the direction I would take. (I intend for you to come away from that first session with helpful ways already to be thinking about the problem(s) in the relationship.) If you are then interested to progress from there, I ask for an additional three session commitment where we will address specific goals that we have identified.
Effective relationship therapy would normally require approximately 6-20 sessions, dependent on the number/intensity of issues that have built up, degree of prior unresolved trauma, and the willingness of both parties to look at their contribution to the relationship dynamic.
I have worked with individuals and couples in relationship work in the following areas:
- conflict/communication breakdowns (including conflict around parenting, care of elderly parents, conflicting career challenges, conflicting desires for children, IVF challenges, and many more)
- sexual issues (including from past sexual assault, differences in sexual desires/preferences, issues around pornography use, infidelity, etc)
- issues related to polyamorous/open relationships
- relationship issues resulting from one partner going through a gender transition
I support couples in same gender or opposite gender relationships (or both) and those who are questioning their sexual and/or gender orientations.
