Make room for the conversation you need.

You may be finding it difficult to communicate, returning to the same disagreements, feeling disconnected, or adjusting to a change in your life together. A session gives you time to describe what is happening and consider what you would like to be different.

What you might like to talk about.

Coming alone or together.

You do not need to have agreed on every issue before making an enquiry. Let us know whether you would like to attend alone or with your partner. We discuss participation, privacy, suitability and the session format with you before confirming an appointment.
