Psychological therapy, tailored to you

Good quality, close relationships across our lifetime can play a key role in maintaining good mental health.

But relationships can be tricky, right? All sorts of things can get in the way of having the meaningful and fulfilling relationship that you want and deserve. Perhaps you are hurting after a past relationship loss and feel anxious about getting close to

someone again. 

Maybe you find yourself always going for a particular ‘type’, which you recognise isn’t helpful for you. Or, when in a relationship, perhaps you engage in behaviours designed to keep someone close, but which actually have the opposite effect in the long-term and cause conflict or distance.

Whatever it is that is getting in the way of you having the meaningful and fulfilling relationship that you want, we can help. The good news is that all of the above can be worked through and it is possible to build happier and healthier relationships in the future.

Here at Brightside we can work with individuals and couples to help you to achieve your relationship goals.

Based on Attachment Theory and ACT, Dr Sophie has developed a 3-step model to help people to explore their past relationship pattens, identify the type of relationship that they need and engage in actions that can make this happen.

We have a better understanding of our relationship values

After coming to see Sophie we are communicating so much better. We have a better understanding of our relationship values and we can talk through and resolve any difficulties before they escalate into an argument
