Over 10 years.
Helping my clients – whether as individuals or couples – develop insight, take on steps to change and development new and better ways of relating to others and themselves.
I have recently helped a young couple who were experiencing a significant level of mistrust. I was able to help the couple understanding their core emotional needs – the woman had a fear of abandonment and lashed out when her partner emotionally withdraw in fear of being hurt. Through the therapy, they understand this relationship chemistry was not working. The approach resulted in the couple better communicating and developing a deeper level of trust. This approach included: 1) bringing insight into the underlying issues of their relationship – linked to childhood unmet emotional need and 2) cognitive and behavioural strategies to recognise when triggered and act in more adaptive ways.
