If you are feeling disconnected in your marriage and want to emotionally re-engage with one another then my therapy can encourage long term changes in behavioural patterns to create a deeper sense of connection and overall wellbeing.
We all feel stuck sometimes; either in life generally or in our relationships. We increasingly hear of people struggling with low self esteem, low mood and motivation, anxiety and depression diagnoses are becoming more common. We hear of relationships falling apart for a myriad of reasons; money, trust issues, infidelity, loss of connection to name a few. The key factor that causes relationships to break down is the failure to communicate effectively and re-connect before the problems arise.

Hi, I’m Bex, I’m integrative psychotherapist which means I use many different approaches rather than one type of therapy. I’m also trauma informed which means I’m specially trained to understand how trauma impacts how we see the world. I use a holistic approach to see the whole person in the bigger picture of their human experience rather than taking a purely clinical method. I have a particular interest in working with people to support them in relating and dating more successfully. Whether it’s marriage stress or mother stress, I can help you improve your relationships.

I work with adults, couples, and adolescents, providing a non-judgmental space to work within and support you in therapy. I will help you explore and gain insights into your experiences and overcome difficult feelings and behaviours. How we communicate and form relationships in life are fundamental but often can be difficult and complex. How we feel about ourselves can be equally as complex, often challenged by feelings of not being good enough. Childhood experiences shape patterns of thinking, behaving, and feeling and may not work for us in adulthood, leading to struggles and unhappiness.

Marriage Counselling

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?

Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?

Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?

Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
