Relationship Therapy in Winchester

Dr Ellie Birtley provides accredited and professional relationship therapy in the Winchester area for individuals and couples who are struggling.

We are all aware of the honeymoon period. The first 12-18 months of a relationship can be filled with colour, intimacy, and excitement. When this starts to disappear, or when the romanticism of the relationship begins to quieten down, we can be left worried wondering, “what happened?”

When this becomes a continuous worry and old patterns re-emerge signalling a breakdown of communication, defences can be put up and negativity can fill the relationship. This is where therapy can step in and create to real improvement.

Sometimes a safe space to openly express and understand the emotions that are flowing through the relationship can be the key to get everything back on track. My practice is in Midhurst, near Winchester, and the process we would undertake there will explore the repeated patterns, improve communication, and discover healing and forgiveness.

I am accredited by the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT) and I use an integrated approach, meaning that I can help provide therapy using numerous approaches and techniques. These can be:

• Imago theory - this forms the core of my approach
• Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Systemic Therapy
• Psychodynamic Therapy
