Couples therapy

Couples therapy can be very effective for couples experiencing relationship difficulties. By learning how to better meet each other’s needs, partners can create emotional safety within their relationship, resolve long standing conflict and begin to experience each other as a source of pleasure again.

In some cases, the sessions allow the couple to decide that it would be best to end their relationship. If this is the case, we will plan together how to manage the break up in the least destructive way possible, especially if you have children who will be affected.

Please be aware that this intervention will not be appropriate for you if you are currently experiencing physical, emotional or sexual violence/ abuse within your relationship. In this case, individual therapy would be more suitable.

Fee: £75 per 50-minute session.

Family therapy

Systemic Family Therapy sessions are designed to help families who are in difficulty. The focus of sessions is not on who is at fault or to blame, but on the context of the “problem” experienced by the family.

We will facilitate a safe environment which will allow everyone to hear each other’s views, learn to understand each other’s needs and look for solutions together. This work is based around building on the strengths that already exist in the family. The aim will be to challenge negative patterns and make way for new, positive interactions. Systemic therapeutic work is very effective in helping families to communicate better with each other and reduce or resolve conflict.

Families are often seen together but can be seen individually or in combinations of different members depending on what the difficulty is.

Fee: £75 per 50-minute session

Groups

Chronic illness group (18-40)

The goal is to reduce feelings of isolation and come together to engage in gentle, positive activities (or just rest and chat in our comfortable seating area!) All ability levels welcome - space is fully accessible.

Women’s circle

The Women’s circle is for women of all ages and backgrounds coming together in solidarity and support of each other.

Held by the facilitator, the emphasis is on taking turns to listen and bear witness to the other’s experience. Through this, we create deep and healing bonds.

Sessions may take place outdoors in warmer weather.

Come together to talk about the subject many of us fear the most.

Whatever your circumstances or beliefs, you are welcome to attend and engage in conversations that challenge you.
