Therapy for Relationship Difficulties
Relationships can be a source of connection and support, but they can also leave us feeling hurt, confused or repeatedly caught in the same patterns. You may find it difficult to trust others, worry about being rejected or abandoned, struggle to express what you need, or find yourself giving too much in relationships while your own needs are pushed aside.
Sometimes the difficulty is less obvious. You may notice that similar problems seem to arise in different relationships, feel drawn into dynamics that leave you unhappy, or find yourself wondering why being close to other people can feel so complicated. Understanding these patterns can be an important part of changing them.
Understanding your patterns in relationships
The ways we relate to others are shaped by many things, including our earlier relationships and experiences, what we have learned to expect from other people, and how we have learned to protect ourselves when relationships feel uncertain or difficult.
Together, we can explore what happens for you in relationships and begin to recognise patterns that may be repeating. I can support you in navigating difficulties with trust, boundaries, closeness or communication, while developing a clearer understanding of your own needs and how you want to relate to others.
