Relationship Therapy

Struggling in Your Relationship? You're Not Alone.

​

Relationships can bring love, joy, and deep connection, but they can also be challenging. Whether you're dealing with communication breakdowns, recurring conflicts, or emotional disconnection, relationship therapy can help.

​

At VIVA Therapy, we provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where couples can work through difficulties, strengthen their connection, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

How Couples Therapy Can Help
​

Every relationship faces challenges, but when those challenges start to feel overwhelming, therapy offers a way forward. Couples therapy can help you:

  • Improve communication so both partners feel heard and understood.

  • Reduce conflict and break negative cycles that keep repeating.

  • Strengthen emotional intimacy and rebuild trust.

  • Navigate life transitions, such as moving in together, becoming parents, or recovering from infidelity.

  • Understand and address issues related to differing needs, expectations, and attachment styles.

  • Work together as a team rather than feeling like opponents.

 
Specialist Support for ADHD in Relationships

 

If ADHD is a factor in your relationship, you may experience additional challenges. ADHD can bring creativity, passion, and deep connection, but it can also introduce struggles such as:

  • Communication difficulties – Conversations may feel one-sided, with one partner struggling to stay engaged or the other feeling unheard.

  • Emotional intensity – ADHD can amplify emotions, leading to heightened reactions and difficulties regulating feelings.

  • Forgetfulness & distraction – Missed appointments, unfinished tasks, or zoning out mid-conversation can create frustration and hurt.

  • Parent-child dynamics – The non-ADHD partner may feel burdened with responsibilities, while the ADHD partner may feel criticised or micromanaged.

  • Hyperfocus & disconnection – At times, the ADHD partner may be so absorbed in a project that their partner feels invisible.

  • Differences in organisation & routines – Clashes over household tasks, time management, and structure can lead to ongoing tension.

Understanding these patterns is the first step toward creating change. Our therapists specialise in helping couples navigate the impact of ADHD with practical strategies and compassionate support. Rather than placing blame, we focus on how ADHD affects the relationship and how both partners can work together toward a more balanced and understanding dynamic.

​

A Balanced, Collaborative Approach

 

In our work with couples, we don’t see one partner as ‘the problem.’ Instead, we help both partners understand each other’s perspectives and needs. Whether you are dealing with general relationship difficulties or ADHD-specific challenges, our goal is to support you in building a healthier, more fulfilling connection.

Rather than staying stuck in blame or frustration, therapy will help you develop skills to:

  • Communicate more effectively and avoid misunderstandings.

  • Manage conflict in a healthier, more productive way.

  • Strengthen emotional connection and intimacy.

  • Find practical solutions that work for both of you.

 
Ready to Reconnect?

 

If your relationship is struggling, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your bond, work through a crisis, or understand the impact of ADHD on your relationship, couples therapy can help.
