Couples Therapy

Rebuilding Connection Across Cultures and Perspectives

Relationships are shaped by cultural norms, personal histories, and evolving identities. Our understanding of love and intimacy is deeply influenced by how we were raised, the cultures we inhabit, and the stories we carry with us. When partners come from different cultural backgrounds or have contrasting models of relationships, it’s natural for misunderstandings and emotional distance to emerge.

In therapy, I offer a space where couples can explore these dynamics with openness and curiosity—free from blame or fixed roles. Together, we look at how cultural influences, attachment patterns, and lived experiences shape the ways you relate, communicate, and connect.

My Work with Couples Focuses On:

  • Recognising recurring patterns that may be causing tension or disconnection
  • Improving communication to foster understanding and deeper connection
  • Exploring emotional and relational dynamics to create a more balanced and supportive partnership
  • Navigating cultural and identity differences – exploring how diverse backgrounds shape our expectations of love, commitment, and intimacy.

Many couples struggle not because they lack love, but because they are unaware of the cultural scripts and relational patterns that shape their interactions. In therapy, we bring these hidden dynamics into awareness—creating space for new ways of relating that feel more authentic, intentional, and emotionally fulfilling.
