Couples Therapy

Romantic relationships can be challenging over time. A relationship is never going to be easy everyday.  Life can be hard and this can be reflected in the relationship.

 

Day to day life offers a number of challenges and without nurturing your relationship it is easy to find yourself drifting away from your partner.  This can be due to any number of life challenges including, work circumstances, family, children, financial, bereavement, stress, anxiety.  Once a pattern of bickering starts it can leak into every area of communication.

​

Even if your relationship feels like it has broken down and there has been a loss of intimacy or arguments are frequent with effort and commitment it is possible to reconnect emotionally. 

 

 

 

If you are experiencing difficulties in your relationship, you may try to resolve tensions and problems between yourselves first. If this method isn’t proving itself to be successful - you may want to seek help from a professional and undertake relationship therapy or couples therapy. This type of therapy can be useful for any body who is in a relationship, regardless of age or gender.

Sasha Louise works with couples using Emotional Focus Therapy (EFT), helping clients move deeper within their emotions to get a better understanding of what they are feeling and to guide them through the processes and techniques and to lead them through any conflicting emotions.  Both partners are responsible and so both must work together to aid progress.
