Couples Therapy Stockton-on-Tees

Hi I'm Wendy,

I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change.

For couples:
Couples therapy provides a safe and supportive space to think about and explore any issues you may have. The aim is not to point the finger and blame, but to help both parties reconnect emotionally – to listen to their partner differently, learn to communicate more effectively and create, a happier and healthier relationship.

Who Should Consider Couples Therapy?
It’s for all couples of all ages and at all stages of their relationship not just for those in crisis. Therapy for couples can resolve a current problem, prevent problems from worsening, or provide a “check-up” for a happy couple experiencing a period of transition or increased stress.

Common issues addressed in couples therapy include:
Money, parenting, sex, affairs, family and friends, chronic illness, conflict, communication breakdown.

What happens in a couple’s therapy session?
The therapist looks at each person and how their role in the relationship, difficulties, need and wants affects each other and the couple. A therapist is always a neutral party.Couples therapy can be a powerful way to change the course of your relationship so both partners can be happier in the relationship.

What problems can couples therapy help with?
Couples bring a wide range of issues to counselling, from lack of intimacy and communication breakdown to trust, jealousy and infidelity issues. Family conflicts and difficult life transitions can cause problems within a relationship, as can work-related stress or financial problems.

What couples therapy can't do:
Counselling isn’t a magic bullet that will solve a couple’s relationship problems. Counselling can help you understand yourself and others better, and offer tools and guidance, but it can’t change a person or a relationship if people aren’t ready to put in the effort and commitment.

A therapist can guide and help you, but it’s the couple who must do the hard work. For some couples, the safest and healthiest option may be for them to separate. And couples counselling can be an important part of the process.

I feel so privileged to be working with all my clients and support them on their journey, I learn from my clients just as much as they learn from me.

Clinical Approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) , Couples therapy, Gottman metod, Integrative therapy to what the client needs.

Online therapy

Face to face session in my Stockton-on-tees therapy room. Online for the rest of the UK.

I use Teams for my sessions online.

Online therapy is often more convenient, accessible as it can be done from anywhere. It is secure and confidental, offering many of the benefits of face-to-face counselling with the added convenience of online therapy, video chat sessions tend to use a secure platform or app chosen by your therapist.
