When love fades or is shaken................
A romantic relationship can be the source of both happiness, personal enrichment and growth. However, meeting our desire and need for intimacy can also represent one of our biggest challenges. When we feel that our needs for comfort, safety and intimacy are not being met we can feel lonely, sad, angry, apathetic and frustrated. It becomes difficult to think clearly, we can act rashly and become trapped into inflexible and destructive patterns of interaction. This may start to make us doubt our relationship. We can experience negative and critical thoughts and feelings both about our partner - and ourselves. If you recognize this, it may be wise to seek help to uncover and acknowledge the frustration and unmet attachment needs lying behind these problems. With a therapist's help it is possible to invite each other into a new kind of dialogue that can open for a new experience of your relationship focusing on understanding, appreciation, compassion and respect for both oneself and each other. Love can be rekindled and can grow! My work with couples and relationships builds on the practice of Emotionally Focused Therapy. This is a sucsessful, evidence based approach founded on a deep understanding of the science of love. |

Couples Therapy, Marriage Guidance
Relationships and the quality of life
Emotionally Focused Therapy
for individuals, couples and families
Experiencing joy, contentment and good health are closely connected to the quality of our relationships with others. As children and later as adults it is through the power of intimacy and trust that an experience of safety, and of being worthy of love establishes itself within us, allowing self-confidence and creativity to grow in our lives. When these qualities are lacking however, we can experience sadness, loneliness, inadequacy, and lack of trust in the world around us.
