I am a certified Imago couples’ therapist. This means I have completed the clinical training and demonstrated my skills in this approach.

Bring back the joy of being together

     All couples meet difficulties over time. Some face a crisis (an affair, destructive jealousy, loss of trust). Others are going round in cycles, falling in & out of love, patching up conflicts with another ‘new start’, feeling hopeless, then hopeful and back again. The lucky ones already have a good relationship but sense they can raise their level of satisfaction and have a genuine connection.

     Difficult times in your relationship are painful, but they can pave the way to longer-lasting happiness together. We all want to replace discomfort and pain in our couple with feeling connected, seen and validated by our partner. That’s what the Imago approach excels at! I can help you build your best relationship.

What is IMAGO ?

     I genuinely love the IMAGO Relationship Therapy model. It’s the best approach I know to help couples, whether they are struggling or simply want a closer connection. It is a very practical method which has helped thousands of couples all over the world to bring back the joy of being together. Because Imago addresses the way we relate within our relationship, it is effective for all couples and all types of difficulties, regardless of age, sexual orientation, race, cultural background, and social status.

     Imago focuses and builds on the positive aspects of your relationship, those which are already there, and it guides you to build the best version of your couple. Ultimately, Imago is about helping you (re)experience a sense of real connection with your partner. This is the glue which will hold you together when you feel pulled in different directions.

 

Learn to overcome your differences

     Unlike more traditional approaches to couple counselling, Imago will first focus on helping you to communicate in a way that feels safe for both of you, before addressing the most painful aspects of your relationship. Imago will help you talk without triggering each-other. It will allow you to really hear each other, and get each-other’s experiences. This paves the way to overcoming your differences. I can bring to you the wonders of Imago Relationship Therapy.

Most common issues I support people with:

• Same Sex and LGBTQIA+ Relationships
• Relationship Crises (loss of trust, jealousy, affairs)
• Communication Difficulties
• Older Couples
• Managing a separation/divorce and co-parenting
• Managing religious or lifestyle differences (e.g. vegan)

Fees

• Initial couples appointment: 60 min. - £90
• Follow-up couples appointments: 90 min. - £140

For most couples, the first appointment lasts 60 minutes and is charged £90. It is about starting to learn the essential tools of the Imago approach, and focuses on feeling safe and connected together.

Further appointments are generally 90 minutes long and charged £140. In these appointments you will take turn to discuss the points which are difficult or painful for you  in the relationship, and you will create together a blueprint of your best relationship.

Outside of appointments you will be able to use the tools of Imago to (re)build your relationship everyday, little by little. Couples move on at different paces, and of course, the complexity of your history as a couple and as individuals will influence the speed at which you overcome your difficulties. But I would expect positive change to be evident by the 5th or 6th session.
