We have a wealth of expertise amongst our team of practitioners, with a wide variety of specialisms and interests. So we decided to create a blog that’s made up of the different voices in our group practice. Most of the blogs are focused around current events, popular culture, film and television, all through the analytic lens of our relationship therapists. You will also find some blogs by anonymous contributors who are drawing from their personal experiences in relationships. We hope you will find our blog entires both thought provoking and entertaining.
Couple fit: Marianne and Connell
When I first meet a couple for an initial consultation, one of the thoughts I hold in mind are ‘why did this couple choose each other’
As a couple therapist, understanding the ‘couple fit’ is an important part of the work. This is to do with the unconscious reasons couples gravitate towards each other and it explains that feeling of connection that is often felt when potential lovers ‘click’.
Recently, two of my clients told me I should watch the BBC series Normal People, so how could I resist, especially as it’s about a couple and the trajectory of their relationship.
