Couples Therapy/ Family Therapy

Would you like to improve your romantic relationship? You’ve come to the right place.  Couples are often refreshed by Buckinghamshire Psychology’s solution-focused approach to couples’ therapy.  We are deliberately selective about the types of couples we accept, because we know we get the best results with a very specific type of couple.  We work with couples that are:

• Open to feedback.  One of the most frequent compliments we get from couples is that our therapists do more than just “listen and reflect” back to the couple.  We offer specific interventions and ideas for you to try at home, starting from the very first session.  If you’re a couple who is seeking more than a “venting session”, you have come to the right place.
• Ready to transcend the basics: Buckinghamshire Psychology only accepts couples that are already fully capable of interacting without risk of physical harm to one another.  We work best with couples that have a baseline level of health such that no one is threatening to harm himself/herself or his/her partner, even during your most stressful moments.  Passionate behavior is one thing; domestic abuse is another. If domestic violence is a current or past concern, we encourage you to seek help with a specialist in that area because we work exclusively with couples who are never a danger to self or others.
• Time Conscious:  You will get the best results if you and your partner are able to attend your appointments on time so that you can actually use the full session time.  We understand that coordinating schedules between busy people can be a challenge, so we offer video appointments as well to offer maximal flexibility.  Similarly, we also respect your time: At your first or second session, we’ll offer guidelines on how many sessions seems to be an appropriate ballpark figure for your goals as a couple.  We’ll be happy to revisit and revise these goals with you anytime– we encourage transparency on all sides (at least in terms of “time goals”:).
