Polyamory and ethical non-monogamy counselling and therapy
Your relationships,taken seriously.
What might bring you here
Opening, agreements and change
Opening a relationship has become a real decision, and you are not sure what you want or what happens if you disagree. An agreement was broken, or turned out not to mean the same thing to everyone. A new relationship changed the time and attention available elsewhere.
Jealousy, time and hinging
Jealousy has caught you off guard. Hinging is taking more time and emotional energy than expected. You may be questioning an arrangement you once wanted.
Different relationship structures
You and a partner want different relationship structures: monogamy for one of you and polyamory for the other. A difference that seemed manageable earlier has become harder to live with as the relationship deepens.
How much of this is about non-monogamy?
Your relationships do not have to become the focus of counselling just because they are non-monogamous. Non-monogamy may matter when decisions about family or disclosure affect more than one relationship. Or you may be coming to talk about anxiety, burnout, shame or grief. Your relationships can still be part of the conversation without becoming the explanation for everything.
Where I stand.
I do not think either monogamy or non-monogamy is inherently better, and I will not steer the work in either direction.
Monogamy is not something to outgrow. Non-monogamy is not a moral failing.
I have lived in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships. That experience helps me approach the work without treating either one as the standard. My focus is what you want, what you are unsure about and what is actually happening in your life.
Get in touch.
Make an appointment if you’re ready, or request a free 15-minute consult if you’d rather speak first. You can also send me a message with any questions. I’m happy to answer them.
