Relationships and work with couples

We are living through a historical and cultural moment of profound change in the dynamics of couple relationships. The monogamous, exclusive structure of a relationship is increasingly being discussed and called into question, while new ways of being together are emerging alongside the traditional model of the monogamous couple.

The desire to open up a relationship, to enter a polyamorous constellation, or to find a “tailor-made” balance together with one’s partner can sometimes bring confusion and a sense of being lost. Equally, those who wish to invest in an exclusive relationship may feel inadequate or unable to meet the expectations of a contemporary society that explicitly encourages us to be “open”.

I welcome enquiries from individuals who sense that there are issues within their relationship, as well as from couples or constellations wishing to embark on a shared process, driven by more than simply the need to communicate more effectively. In this space, we work with this tumult of desires and feelings, sometimes opposing yet equally present in the mind, to bring a little more into focus about what the subject, or subjects, want for themselves — and to try to say something about what stands in the way of realising it.
