Conflict is a natural part of any relationship, but working through differences with trust and respect is key to a healthy partnership. This can be challenging, which is where relationship therapy helps.

Therapy isn’t just for couples facing separation, it strengthens communication, deepens understanding, and helps partners align their needs and goals. Whether monogamous or polyamorous, all relationships are welcome. Let’s build a stronger connection together. 

NEURODIVERGENT PARTNERSHIPS

Strengthening Connection in Neurodivergent Partnerships

Being in a neurodivergent relationship where one or more parties are neurodivergent presents with it’s own unique challenges. Often, neurodivergent individuals have different love languages, communication styles and needs when compared to neurotypical relationships. This can contribute to accidental hurt feelings, miscommunication and in extreme circumstances, promote burnout in one or more parties.

We specialize in helping neurodivergent individuals to improve their communication and ability to recognize their needs in a partnership. We also offer individuals helpful translations for emotional bonding to promote understanding in neurotypical + neurodivergent partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Relationship therapy is a form of therapy that is carried out by a trained psychologist, therapist, or counsellor with the purpose of addressing any difficulties that are present in a partnership. By openly addressing these struggles, and discussing them, individuals can find solutions that will strengthen their relationship.

Relationship therapy involves your therapist creating a dialogue that will help get to the bottom of your relationship issues. This is often done by asking very specific questions or engaging in a variety of activities to improve communication, trust, and understanding. Throughout relationship therapy, you will be equipped with skills to deal with your issues in your relationship. From the first appointment, the goals should be made clear and from that point on, the process and progress is measured relative to those goals.

The first thing that people usually associate relationship therapy with is infidelity. A betrayal of trust like this can bring about a myriad of different issues; primarily revolving around trust. Other common issues in a relationship that can be potentially improved through relationship therapy include: frequent arguments, poor communications, jealousy, expectations and assumptions, and sexual problems.

Relationship therapy is about learning to communicate with each other about particular issues affecting the relationship. On top of improving your communication skills, you will learn skills like: resolving arguments effectively, working through your problems together, understanding one another better, and acknowledging your partners feelings.

There is a common misconception that relationship therapy is only intended for when your relationship is going through a crisis. Anybody can potentially benefit from relationship therapy at any point in their partnership. If there is a specific life event or hardship that you’re facing, then we absolutely recommend seeking support. Even when you’ve worked through the initial issue that you were seeking help for, on-going relationship therapy may continue to strengthen your relationship and provide continual support throughout your time together.

Before you’ve committed to seeing a therapist, we recommend researching a myriad of therapists. It’s important to consider what specialties a therapist has, what their background is, and whether or not they take insurance (if applicable). Not all relationship therapists have the same approaches and philosophy to their work.

Once you’ve selected a therapist, all you need to do is be ready to openly communicate with your partner and your therapist, as the therapist should guide you through the remainder of the process.
