Couples often experience a breakdown of communication, which causes arguements. These may become repetitive cycles of self-destructive behaviour, where anger expressed spins out of control. A loss of emotional closeness, trust and physical intimacy follows, which can lead to crises in the relationship, affairs and the threat of divorce.
As a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist I help individuals and couples to understand causes of their difficulties and rebuild rebuild love and connection.
About me and my practice
I use a THREE-STEP APPROACH TO REBUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP
1) Gain Awareness:
Start by gaining insight into your relationship dynamics and identifying underlying issues. Understand how initial excitement can fade over time, leading to power struggles and emotional distance. Recognize common patterns like one partner being direct while the other withdraws, or past experiences triggering sudden arguments.
2) Improve Communication and Conflict Resolution:
Develop new communication skills to foster a healthier relationship. Replace negative criticism with active listening and empathetic responses. Utilize techniques like mirroring , paraphrasing what has been said before responding to ensure both partners feel heard and understood. These approaches lay the foundation for creating greater trust , forgiveness and meeting of each others needs.
3) Rekindle Love and Connection:
Focus on nurturing your bond by showing care and appreciation. Spend quality time together, express gratitude, and offer support to each other. By prioritizing acts of love and connection, you can reignite the spark in your relationship and foster a deeper connection.

I am Including some client testimonials
Aryeh is an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable clinician with an extensive set of skills and techniques at his disposal.. We have spent 12 years at war repeating the same horrible patterns and going in miserable battle cycles. After two failed attempts at marriage counselling, this was our last hope. Aryeh has counselled us out of trouble into a happier and more harmonious place in our marriage.
We were struggling after lockdown, but with Aryehs guidance we learned a range of tools that got us right back on track. In fact after a few sessions we had turned things around so much that we set a date for our wedding and are now happily married.
When we approached Aryeh our marriage had been very unsatisfactory for a long time and I had little hope marriage counselling would help but within a few sessions the surprising effectiveness of Aryeh's techniques and guidance had improved our relationship remarkably.
We came to see Aryeh as a married couple who had lost their way in communicating with one another most essentially in empathy. Having hit what felt at the time like rock bottom it was amazing to get to a point whereby we felt incredibly close again and reconnected on a deeper level than before.
You have helped us enormously to move past our problems and find a better way to communicate. We are both very grateful for all your help.
