Couples Counselling
Relationship Therapy for Deeper Connection
Couples counselling helps partners navigate relationship challenges, improve communication, and deepen emotional intimacy. Using psychodynamic principles, we explore unconscious patterns that affect the relationship and work toward greater understanding and connection.
Understanding Couples Counselling
Couples counselling provides a safe, neutral space where both partners can explore their relationship dynamics, communication patterns, and emotional connections. Rather than focusing solely on problem-solving, this approach helps couples understand the deeper psychological patterns that influence their interactions.
Using psychodynamic and Jungian principles, we examine how early attachment experiences, family patterns, and unconscious projections may be affecting your current relationship. This deeper understanding allows for more meaningful and lasting change.
The goal is not just to resolve immediate conflicts, but to help couples develop greater emotional intimacy, authentic communication, and a more conscious relationship with each other.

My Approach to Couples Work
I work with couples from a depth psychology perspective, recognizing that relationship dynamics often reflect unconscious patterns learned in early relationships. Understanding these patterns allows couples to choose more conscious ways of relating.
Rather than taking sides, I help each partner understand their own contribution to relationship dynamics while developing empathy for their partner's experience and perspective.
We explore how projection, attachment styles, and family-of-origin patterns may be influencing your relationship, creating space for more authentic and intimate connection.
