I am flexible regarding my availability. 

I work with the dynamics arising in the therapy room, together with an understanding of dynamics that have existed in the past of both partners to address the issues that the couple are facing at the stage they have reached in their relationship when they come to me. All issues can be worked through to a better place providing that there is motivation for things to improve and a willingness for each partner to reflect on themselves. 

I tend to draw on a variety of different trainings, depending on what arises as the work progresses-each therapy is unique and adaptable. 

My practise is mainly focused on couples and the emotional and sexual issues that they are encountering. Common areas of difficulty tend to be around communication, sexual differences or low/no sexual interest especially in longer term relationships and trust issues that arise from feelings or the actuality of betrayal. There are also couples who come when their relationship is in a good place to educate themselves about ways of being that can protect their relationship from difficulties in the future. 

I tend not to work with specific questions in the first session, but instead let partners talk about what is on their mind and why they are seeking help. I do not want to do anything to shut down the full expression of what is going on, but i am also aware of the importance of ensuring that emotional expression is contained sufficiently so that partners do not leave a first session struggling with what has been stirred up in the aftermath. So I am looking for a balance between these two positions. My hope is that all three of us leave the first session with a good idea of what it might be like to work together on the issues that have become problematic.
