Olivia | Relationship and Couples Therapist

Relationship and Couples Therapy Margate

Hello and Welcome!  I’m Olivia, an experienced professional relationship and couples therapist who helps individuals and couples navigate the complexities of their relationships.

 Relationships can be a source of great angst when they are floundering, communication has broken down or  trust has been eroded. We each bring our own expectations, insecurities and defence mechanisms that inevitably shape our interactions, potentially leading to conflict, misunderstandings or emotional or physical distance.

Some of us may find ourselves prone toanxiety in relationships, constantly seeking reassurance or feeling overwhelmed by fear of failure. Others may lean toward avoidance, pulling back when intimacy or conflict arises, which can also create distance. These patterns are common and frustrating but once identified, relationships can heal and be more satisfying than ever before.

My Approach

As a therapist, I provide an open and curious space to explore your relationship and understand the dynamics that are causing distance and distress. Using researched and trusted methods, we will work towards your goals.

Ultimately, the journey of couples therapy is about raising awareness and giving context to the sometimes dysfunctional way we strive to be loved, understood, accepted and cherished. The beauty of this process goes beyond healthier intimate relationships, into a better relationship with ourselves and others in our lives.

If you are looking for a growth-oriented approach to feeling better and functioning better, I would be pleased to walk this path with you.

I offer a no-fee 20-minute consultation where we can discuss your hopes for therapy, explore how we might work together, and look at availability. I work locally and internationally.
