optionalKatie Thompson – Couples & Relationship Therapist
she/her
I am dedicated to providing a warm and supportive environment for couples experiencing challenges in their relationships or personal lives. My practice incorporates Imago Relationship Therapy, which creates a structured space for partners to feel heard and understood. This approach helps couples move away from conflict towards greater empathy and connection.
In our sessions, we will typically:
- Engage in the Imago Dialogue process to enhance communication.
- Explore each partner's experiences and feelings without blame.
- Work towards rebuilding closeness and understanding.
- Create a safe space for both partners to express themselves.
- Address individual concerns alongside relationship dynamics.
Personal Touch
Katie offers a free 15-minute telephone call, giving you the opportunity to discuss your needs, ask any questions and find out more about how she works. It is a chance to explore whether she is the right therapist for you, with no obligation to book an appointment.
