Couples therapy
The argument that keeps coming back, the distance that crept in, the thing neither of you says. An hour, with both of you in the room, in JLT.
What to expect
How it tends to start
In short
It is always easier to describe the other person’s part than your own. A third person in the room is what changes that.

A free 15-minute call
Informal, and with a licensed psychologist. Three or four broad questions about what has been going on — enough to point you at the right person, not enough to need preparing for.
A first consultation, together
What each of you wants out of it, which is not always the same thing, and whether couples therapy is the right form for it at all. Both of you would ordinarily be there.
The work is on the pattern
Not on who is right. What gets looked at is the loop the two of you are in — how it starts, what each of you does next, and where it reliably ends up.
What people bring to it
- The same argument, on a loop
- Communication that has stopped working
- Trust, and repairing it
- Intimacy and distance
- Big transitions: moving, children, work
- Questions about separating
Who you’d be sitting with

Questions people ask
The ones that come up most often before a first appointment.
Ordinarily, yes — the work is on what happens between you, which is hard to do with half of it in the room. If one of you would rather start alone, individual therapy is the better door.
That is one of the things couples bring, and it does not disqualify you from the room. Working out what you each want is part of the work rather than something to settle beforehand.
Reaching out is the hardest part
Please complete the form so we can best assist you — tell us as much or as little as you’d like. The usual next step is a free 15-minute call with one of the psychologists. What you write stays between you and us.
