Marriage
Marriage is one of the most significant and rewarding relationships we experience—but it can also be among the most complex and challenging. Far from being a static union, marriage is a dynamic relationship that evolves over time and can be affected by emotional patterns, life transitions, and personal histories.
Marital 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.
There is ongoing conversation about whether modern relationships are more strained than in the past. While the expectations and social structures surrounding marriage have shifted, the underlying vulnerabilities—emotional disconnection, unmet needs, and difficulties with intimacy or conflict—have long been part of human partnerships. What has changed is our willingness to seek help and our understanding of how to support healthy, resilient relationships.
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 Psyche Clinic, we take a comprehensive and non-judgemental approach to assessing and supporting relationship and marital challenges. Every couple or individual begins with a thorough psychological assessment to understand the full picture—not just the surface-level conflict, but also the underlying emotional, cognitive, and relational dynamics at play.
We recognise that relationship difficulties rarely exist in isolation. Our assessments explore the presence of co-occurring factors such as unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodivergent traits, or attachment patterns, all of which can significantly affect how individuals relate to themselves and to one another.
Treatment is highly individualised and may include joint or individual therapy, support with emotional regulation and communication skills, and guidance around navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or making difficult decisions. Where appropriate, we also work collaboratively with GPs or other care providers to ensure holistic and integrated support.
Our aim is not just to reduce conflict—but to help individuals and couples understand the deeper needs and patterns beneath the tension, address emotional wounds, and build healthier, more connected, and more sustainable relationships.
Evidence-Based Treatment Tailored to You
Our approach to relationship and marriage therapy is tailored to each couple or individual, drawing on a range of evidence-based modalities designed to support emotional connection, healthy communication, and long-term relational wellbeing. Depending on your needs, therapy may focus on understanding patterns of conflict, rebuilding trust, and addressing any underlying psychological or interpersonal difficulties.
We offer a combination of:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour within the relationship
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to explore attachment dynamics and deepen emotional connection
-
Trauma-Informed Therapy for couples impacted by past relational wounds, betrayal, or individual trauma
-
Communication and Conflict Resolution Skills to reduce reactivity, foster empathy, and improve day-to-day relating
-
Psychiatric Support, where appropriate, to address underlying mental health concerns that may be affecting the relationship
All therapy is delivered in a discreet, supportive environment by experienced clinicians who understand the complexities of intimate relationships. Whether you're navigating a period of disconnection, facing a crisis, or seeking support for long-term growth, our goal is to meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity and compassion.
