Therapy for Relationship Difficulties in London

 

Relationships can be the source of our greatest comfort and our deepest stress. Whether you are struggling in a relationship, recovering from one ending, or finding it hard to let anyone close, therapy offers space to make sense of what keeps happening and why.

 

I am a BACP-accredited psychotherapist in central London and online. I work individually with men and women, gay and straight, on relationship and intimacy difficulties.

 

What we might work on

  • Recurring arguments, distance or feeling unheard

  • Loss of intimacy, desire or sexual connection

  • Trust issues, infidelity or jealousy

  • Fear of commitment, or patterns of choosing the wrong people

  • Difficulty dating or feeling lonely

  • Breakups, divorce and their aftermath

  • Navigating open or non-traditional relationships

  • Anxious, avoidant or insecure attachment patterns

 

How therapy can help

Individual therapy focuses on you: how you relate to others, what you need, and what gets in the way. We often find that patterns in current relationships connect to earlier experiences, family dynamics or long-held beliefs about yourself.

 

We may also look at your attachment style: the patterns of closeness, trust and independence you learned early in life. Understanding whether you tend to seek reassurance, pull away, or swing between the two can help explain why certain conflicts or fears keep returning, and open up new ways of relating.

 

As those patterns become clearer, you gain more choice in how you respond. Clients often find they communicate more openly, set clearer boundaries and feel more secure, whether they stay in a relationship or move on.

 

When relationship strain affects sex, you may also find my pages on sexual performance anxiety and erectile dysfunction helpful.
