Relationship Problems
Relationships can be one of the most rewarding aspects of our lives but they can also be extremely challenging.
Relationships are not static but are dynamic, complex and change at various points in their evolution. Early on attraction and falling in love (or lust) results in prominent dopamine activity biochemically in our brains which is why we find them exciting. Over time this initial dopaminergic activity wanes but hopefully in its place the levels of oxytocin rise. Oxytocin is the neurohormone responsible for human attachment whether this is attachment to our family, friends, partners or pets.
“They aren’t the person I married”
We change in many ways over the years. What we do, how we look, what interests us, how sociable we are, our sex drive. Also how we feel towards each other can of course change. It’s not uncommon for men/women to report that the person they are currently in a relationship with bears little resemblance to the person they first fell in love with.
Relationship difficulties can arise from a range of issues, including communication breakdowns, emotional distance, infidelity, differing values, or the cumulative strain of parenting, career pressures, or health concerns. These challenges often co-occur with individual mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or neurodivergent traits, all of which can impact relational dynamics.
Many couples who were once seen as “drifting apart” or “failing” are now more accurately understood as navigating deep emotional challenges without the tools or support they need. With the right therapeutic guidance and a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, it is entirely possible to rebuild trust, deepen connection, and create a more fulfilling partnership.
Our Approach to Marriage Support
At the Psyche Clinic, we take a comprehensive and non-judgemental approach to assessing and supporting relationships whether heterosexual or same sex relationships.
We do a thorough assessment in order to gain greater understanding of the situation. Any additional clinical problems such as depression, anxiety, psychological trauma or other mental health conditions are assessed and treated accordingly.
Therapeutic treatment may be indivisible or as a couple or both and will be by one of our highly trained clinicians with extensive experience in helping couples.
Whether those in the relationship want to stay together or separate our aim is to
facilitate a greater sense of effective communication in the relationship and explore areas of conflict in a safe therapeutic setting.
We will help you to consider deeper needs and patterns beneath the tension, address emotional wounds, and build healthier, more connected, and more sustainable relationships.
