Couple Psychoanalytic
Psychotherapy
Being in a couple can stir up strong and sometimes confusing feelings. At times, these can be hard to express, and partners may find themselves reacting in ways that feel out of character or difficult for the other to understand. This can lead to patterns of conflict, distance or hurt that feel hard to shift.
Couple psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers a space to slow things down and think together about what may be happening in the relationship. Rather than focusing only on what is being argued about, the work pays attention to the underlying emotional dynamics between partners.
Therapy can be short- or longer-term and is open to couples of all backgrounds and sexual orientations.
