What is couples therapy?
A lot of people seem to think that coming to couples work is a failing; it means the relationship has not really worked out, couples should be able to work out their own stuff themselves. That’s not how we see it.
The truth is, our relationships are usually the most important things in our lives. Why wouldn’t we pay attention to it, care for it, seek guidance.
Couples therapy is for understanding each other more deeply and, in the process, understanding ourselves. Ultimately, relationships are made up of individuals coming together.
”Intimacy is not something that happens to us. It is something we create together.
Dr. Alexandra Solomon
Why Couples Come To Therapy
Common things that bring couples to us that we help with are:
- Communication problems
- Betrayal
- Large life events – moving house, getting married etc.
- Lack of intimacy
- Lack of spontenaety
- Issues with sex
- Trust problems
Whatever it is, if things don’t feel right in the most important relationship in your life, it can be deeply troubling. We seek to help you understand yourselves and each other better. This doesn’t always mean an outcome that resolves all issues – sometimes it’s best for people to part ways – it means creating a very safe and respectful place where each individual can begin to open up to seeing the other again.

Meet The Therapists
Getting help as a couple from Being in it Together means working with either Jacqui or David, though Jacqui tends to lead the couples work.
Hello fellow travellers, my name is Jacqui.
I want this to reach people who are travelling through life feeling lost and alone. People who are sick and tired of their same old story that no longer serves them. People who keep trying to convince themselves that if they just erase the old story, or write a different one with new characters, then hopefully the old story will fade away. But instead, those old, rickety pages are far too comfortable and familiar, and before you know it you find yourself travelling through them again, heading toward the same ending.
Do you feel ready to open yourself to a new perspective, a new chapter, a different story? I’m sure by now you have wasted enough precious time. So, let’s not waste anymore.
I am willing to meet you as you are and stand with you through this journey. I too, have travelled through these pages. I know it’s messy and beautiful, difficult and life changing.
I offer you a space to be seen. A space to let go of your old stories, to lay down your armour and forge a new way, to create a new story with a different beginning, middle and end. One that you actually choose for yourself, that is bright, meaningful and real. You’d happily relive it over and over again.
Hello, I’m David. I’m trained to help people make the changes they want to become who they are.
