The Churn
Many of the couples who sit in my therapy room today are navigating challenges that simply did not exist ten years ago.
Relationships
Sensory overload and intimacy
We often talk about intimacy as if it should be instinctive. As if, with the right person, it will simply click into place and feel effortless. For many neurodivergent people, especially those with ADHD, autism, or sensory processing differences, it rarely feels that simple.
Work versus relationship
Balancing work and relationships requires intention. It asks for conscious choices, shared responsibility and a willingness to prioritise the couple alongside professional ambition.
Rewriting inherited relationship scripts
When a couple walks into the therapy room, I don’t just meet two individuals. I meet two entire histories. Their parents, siblings, caretakers, even grandparents. These are all present in the ways a couple speak, argue, reach or retreat. Our early experiences with receiving care have a lifelong impact on how we naturally interact.
