Specialisations and Expertises

My work as a couples therapist covers a range of relationship challenges. Here’s a deeper look at my areas of expertise:

1. Adultery, Affairs, and Infidelity
   Rebuilding trust after infidelity is one of the most challenging processes for any couple. My approach focuses on understanding the causes of infidelity, helping each partner process feelings of betrayal and guilt, and fostering an environment where honesty and empathy are encouraged. Together, we can explore the possibility of healing, whether it leads to a stronger bond or a healthier separation.

2. Attachment Issues
   Many relationship struggles stem from attachment patterns developed in childhood that influence how we connect with partners in adulthood. I work with couples to identify anxious, avoidant, or insecure attachment styles and explore how these play out in their relationship. By understanding and reconfiguring these attachment styles, partners can learn to support each other’s emotional needs more effectively.

3. Communication Problems
   Communication is the foundation of a healthy relationship, yet many couples face significant barriers in expressing themselves openly and constructively. I assist couples in developing communication strategies that emphasize active listening, empathy, and respect, allowing each partner to feel heard and understood while fostering constructive dialogue.

4. Cultural Differences
   When partners come from different cultural backgrounds, they may have distinct values, beliefs, and customs that impact their relationship. I help couples navigate these differences with sensitivity, creating a deeper understanding of each other's perspectives. We work to build a shared cultural framework that honors both individuals’ backgrounds.

5. Divorce
   When couples decide to end their relationship, therapy can ease the process, especially when children or long-term commitments are involved. I support clients in managing the emotional, logistical, and communication aspects of separation to promote amicable transitions and create healthier dynamics post-divorce.

6. Emotional Infidelity
   Emotional infidelity, where one partner forms a deep emotional connection with someone outside the relationship, can be as damaging as physical infidelity. I help couples address the underlying causes of emotional infidelity, focusing on restoring intimacy, trust, and emotional closeness between partners.

7. Family Problems
   External family dynamics can create stress and tension in a relationship, especially when dealing with boundaries, in-laws, or blended family structures. My approach helps couples establish healthy boundaries and prioritize their relationship, enabling them to manage family pressures while maintaining a united front.

8. Intimacy Issues
   Emotional and physical intimacy is essential for a fulfilling relationship. I support couples in exploring the factors impacting intimacy, such as stress, past trauma, or life changes, and guide them in rekindling emotional connection and physical closeness in a safe and respectful manner.

9. Marriage Problems
   Long-term relationships can face periods of dissatisfaction, routine, or unresolved conflict. I work with couples to reignite the bond, assess patterns that may be harming the relationship, and foster new habits that bring more joy, respect, and commitment to the partnership.

10. Relationship Conflicts and Fights
    Frequent arguments can stem from deeper, unresolved issues within the relationship. I assist couples in identifying the root causes of their fights, promoting healthier ways to resolve conflicts without causing emotional harm, and teaching strategies to approach disagreements with understanding and compromise.

11. Sexual Difficulties
    Sexual compatibility and satisfaction are often impacted by personal insecurities, differences in desire, or health issues. I work sensitively with couples to address sexual challenges, encouraging open communication around needs, desires, and boundaries, with a focus on creating a fulfilling and respectful intimate connection.

Most common issues I support people with:

• Communication Difficulties – Addressing misunderstandings, conflicts, and barriers to open, effective communication that can lead to resentment or detachment.

• Trust and Betrayal – Supporting couples in rebuilding trust following instances of betrayal or infidelity, and developing skills to foster honesty and transparency.

• Emotional Intimacy and Connection – Helping individuals and couples strengthen emotional bonds, especially when they feel disconnected or when affection has diminished.

• Attachment and Unresolved Past Trauma – Exploring how attachment styles and past relationships influence current dynamics, behaviors, and expectations.

• Differences in Needs and Values – Working through conflicts stemming from differing values, life goals, or expectations to create mutual respect and understanding.
