Couples Therapy for relationships where AS is present
AS impacted Couples Coaching
If you are a couple impacted by neurodiversity, it’s vitally important that therapy is suitable to your needs and your relationship challenges.
Traditional methods of therapy often fail to recognise the impact that AS can have on a couple.
For example, AS can impact how couples communicate. For therapy to be effective, it needs to take communication differences into account. Therapy needs to be designed for your situation.
I’ll work with both of you and I’ll help you work together.
Through therapy and coaching, you will learn to understand each other’s needs, along with the challenge each of you experience.
You’ll be relieved to find someone that understands your couple situation and unique challenges.
How ND Couples Coaching can help
Couple Coaching with me combines education, interpretation, reflection and strategies. Couples report almost immediate improvements as increased awareness of each other calms the couple dynamic and improves the relationship.
Couples Coaching for ND Couples can help with:
- Education around the core traits of AS that are prevalent in your couple dynamic
- Repairing any resentment or damage caused by misunderstandings over the years
- Learning new strategies to minimise future misunderstanding and hurt
- Creating goals for you as a couple as you move from disconnection to connection.
What to expect
The Coaching Packages begin with an Initial Consultation followed by six sessions.
- Sessions are every two weeks to give you time to process the session and practice techniques at home.
- Each session will focus on a trait that is causing difficulty to the couple, e.g. overwhelm, burnout , compromised social interactions, emotional dysregulation. We will reflect on your history as a couple using a neurodiverse lens. We aim to give you another dimension to understanding your history and current relationship
- I share strategies and behavioural changing tools as a couple you will take them home to implement them
- A final session to think about whether the work we have done is sufficient, or whether you need any further help as a couple.
Outcome of therapy
Couples that complete the six sessions always report a significant difference in the quality of their communication and connection. Some choose to do another set of sessions where they may choose to take a deeper dive into their past.
Ongoing support
You are always able to contact me for support. Many of my couples do periodically check in. Couples may contact me with an issue that is still lurking or come to me for an MOT on their couple as I know and understand their history.
