Let’s talk about communication green flags!

Healthy communication doesn’t mean never arguing, it’s about how you show up when things get hard. Imperfect conversations can still sound like respect, curiosity, and repair.

Which green flags stand out to you?

External stressors are stressors that happen outside the relationship i.e. a rough meeting at work, getting stuck in daily traffic, or ongoing concerns such as caring for a sick parent.

Internal stressors are stressors that exist within the relationship i.e. disagreements on which house project to take on next, differing views on parenting, or the never ending tension around who does what at home.

Regardless of how secure or strong a relationship is, people experience stress differently; what feels overwhelming to one may feel neutral to the other.

Because stress is experienced differently, partners often miss how deeply it’s affecting their own well-being and their relationship, which can lead to miscommunication and misunderstanding.

When we acknowledge our own stress and seek to understand our partner’s internal and external stressors, we create more room for effective communication, emotional regulation, intimacy, and meaningful connection.

It's time to have a conversation about the stressors in your life. If this is something you'd like help with, don't be shy to book a session; I would be happy to work with you!

"Am I still attracted to my partner?"

A common question.
A vulnerable one.
And not always a sign the relationship is over.

Stress, life changes, unresolved resentment, and disconnection can all influence attraction. Attraction starts in the mind, with emotional safety, trust, and connection.

When it comes to long term relationships, sustaining attraction requires more than physical looks. Attraction can also stem from:

• Emotional attraction: kindness, empathy, safety, reliability, feeling seen and supported.
• Intellectual attraction: meaningful conversations, curiosity, ambition, openness to growth.
• Mental attraction: shared mental load, initiative, planning without being asked, noticing when your partner needs support and stepping in.

Take some time to reflect. What parts of your relationship could use attention to help attraction grow?

If you’d like support exploring this, you can book a session online. Link in bio.

Differences in relationships, including s*xual desires, are normal and healthy. Exploring those differences with curiosity and communication can deepen s*xual intimacy and connection.

This can look like:

• Knowing your own and your partner(s) different arousal triggers (what turns you/them on) and taking turns intentionally incorporating them into your s*xual relationship.

• Welcoming and accepting your own s*xuality, as well as your partner(s)

• Avoiding shame. Shaming a partner for their desires is often rooted in personal fear or discomfort and can be deeply damaging to the relationship.

Important: Accepting your partner’s s*xual desires does not mean agreeing to act on them. It simply means not shaming your partner for having those desires.

Gaslighting happens between people. It’s when someone repeatedly dismisses, minimizes, or denies your experiences in a way that makes you question your reality.

Self-gaslighting happens within yourself. It’s when you internalize those messages and start invalidating your own feelings and experiences, often without realizing it.

Knowing the difference between gaslighting and self-gaslighting can be powerful. Awareness of both is an important step toward rebuilding self-trust and emotional safety.

We often talk about stress in terms of burnout, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed, but we forget the impact it can have on our s*xual connection and intimacy.

When couples struggle with their s*x life, they often blame themselves or each other, rather than the stress they’re carrying. Thoughts like, “My partner must not want me,” or “I must not be attractive,” can feel so real, but they’re often stress talking, not the truth.

Stress increases cortisol, and cortisol decreases desire. It’s one of the most common (and overlooked) reasons couples experience a dip in s*xual connection.

Long-term stress affects everyone differently. For many women, it can reduce s*xual pleasure and physical arousal. For many men, it can make it harder to achieve or maintain an er****on.

The most important part? Approaching intimacy as a team. When couples work together to manage stress, they tend to feel more connected, emotionally and physically.

Try viewing the issue through a physiological lens rather than a personal one. Stress impacts hormones, arousal, focus, and performance. When couples understand this, they can respond with compassion instead of self-blame.

If this is something you’d like to work on, I’m here to help. I offer individual and couples counselling, and you can book a session anytime through the link in my bio.

Attachment styles describe how we relate to others. How we seek closeness, navigate conflict, and feel safe in relationships. These patterns begin in childhood through our early relationships with caregivers, and they often carry into adulthood:

• with parents
• in friendships
• in romantic relationships
• in professional or social dynamics

It’s also completely normal to have different attachment styles in different relationships.

The good news? Attachment styles can change. With awareness and consistent effort, patterns like anxious attachment can shift toward a more secure style. It takes time and hard work, but the growth is absolutely worth it.

Do you know what your attachment style is?

If attachment styles are something you’d like to explore further, don’t hesitate to book a session. I would be happy to work with you! Link in bio to book online.
