Therapy for Relationship Issues
for Couples and Individuals Online and in the UK
Relational patterns tend to persist, often despite awareness, attempts at change, or shifts in circumstances. Therapy addresses the factors that maintain these patterns: attachment dynamics, developmental history, emotional regulation, and the ways people protect themselves within intimate relationships.
I work with individuals exploring their relational histories, attachment patterns, and current relationship struggles, and with couples addressing conflict, disconnection, betrayal, or attachment-based difficulty.
Structured, depth-oriented therapy examines how patterns form, what keeps them active, and what becomes possible when they shift. It is suited to those willing to engage with underlying dynamics before seeking a resolution.

Working with Individuals
Relational patterns often have developmental origins. Individual therapy examines how early attachment experiences, family dynamics, and past relational injuries shape current intimate relationships, including patterns of anxiety, avoidance, emotional reactivity, and self-protection.
Individual therapy addresses:
Attachment-based anxiety and avoidance
Repetitive relational patterns
Difficulties with intimacy and trust
Fear of abandonment or engulfment
Emotional regulation in relationships, including anger and jealousy
The relational impact of childhood neglect or abuse
Sexual difficulties, including shame and desire concerns
Loneliness and chronic disconnection
Recovery from breakups and relational loss
Therapy focuses on changing what maintains these patterns rather than advice-giving or skill-building. Sessions are weekly and held online via Zoom.
