ND affirming couple therapy: a couple moving from distress to greater connection

Neuro-affirming Couples Therapy

Relationships can be a source of joy and connection as well as safety. However, being in relationships can also be tricky at times and feel like a source of demands, disconnection and frustration.  

If you are in a mixed neurotype relationship, you are more likely to have issues with how you communicate and empathise with each other. You probably also have different needs around being validated by each other. 

Are you looking for a safe and understanding space for couples therapy? I offer neuro-affirming couples therapy that is designed to support and empower both partners, whether neurodivergent or neurotypical. I strongly believe that every relationship is unique and deserves tailored care.

Why Choose Neurodivergent-Affirming Couples Therapy?

Understanding and Empathy

Firstly, we recognize that neurodivergent experiences vary widely. Consequently, my approach is rooted in understanding, developing empathy, and fostering greater acceptance. This helps both partners feel understood and valued for who they are. Additionally, together we endeavour to create a safer environment where both partners can express themselves freely.  

Tailored Approaches for Unique Relationships

Every couple is different, and so are their needs. Therefore, we use a variety of therapeutic methods adapted to support neurodivergent and neurotypical partners. This way, we can address specific challenges and leverage unique strengths. For example, we may use communication strategies that cater to different processing styles.

Building Stronger Connections

Our goal is to help you build a stronger, more understanding relationship. By focusing on mutual respect and shared goals, I guide couples to navigate their differences. Moreover, I emphasize the importance of celebrating each partner’s individuality, which ultimately strengthens the bond between you.

Skill Development for Couples

Therapy sessions can help you develop essential skills for a healthier relationship. For instance, I focus on improving communication, managing stress, and enhancing emotional connection. Additionally, we provide tools to help you navigate sensory sensitivities and executive functioning challenges together.
