“Why this might be different”
Fifteen years working as an attachment-based couples therapist has given me a rare depth of understanding of relationship dynamics, and heavily informs the way I now help individuals cultivate healthier, more satisfying relationships.
ACT — Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT focuses less on getting rid of difficult thoughts and feelings, and more on changing your relationship to them.
Most of us spend a lot of energy avoiding or arguing with uncomfortable emotions, often making things worse. ACT is about making room for what’s hard while still moving toward the life you actually want, rather than waiting to feel better before you start living differently.
It’s especially useful for anxiety, avoidance, people pleasing, and that stuck feeling between what you want and what you actually do.

If this describes something you are living with, you are welcome to get in touch to talk about working together. You do not need to have it all worked out first, and you do not need to be certain about what you want to do about the relationship itself. Making sense of it is where we begin.
