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.

  • Emotional distance and attachment-based disconnection

  • Infidelity, betrayal, and attachment injuries

  • The impact of developmental history on current relating

  • Differences in attachment needs and emotional regulation
