Relationship Therapy at Sea Spray Psychology

‍

Both Alex and Philomena are Gottman Level 2 trained and are equipped to work with a variety of relationship issues. Alex and Philomena have an interest in working with relationships where one or more partners are neurodivergent. It is important to note that we cannot work with partners where there is an active affair, or if there is significant family violence (please refer to the Orange Door if you need support).

Gottman Therapy provides an evidence-based framework to work through issues in relationships. It is unofficially neuro-affirming. It is quite prescriptive, which can suit the Autistic brain. It respects that everyone brings their unique self, whatever that may look like, to the table when they engage in the therapy. One of the most important aspect of Gottman Therapy is to restore and strengthen friendships, which is a lovely and effective tenet of the therapy. Initial therapy usually lasts six-months with follow-ups at the year mark and two year mark.

Philomena primarily works with couples, and has an interest in working with older couples.

Alex works with couples, as well as those in non-traditional relationships and relationships where kink is a prominent factor.
