Joanna Harrison Couple Therapy

My book ‘Five Arguments All Couples (Need To) Have And Why The Washing Up Matters’ is out now.

Being in a relationship isn’t always easy, however well we get along – and my experience of working with couples has shown me that there are some core areas that all couples need to navigate and negotiate as part of finding a way to a workable and intimate relationship. These are the “Five Arguments” that I have written about in my book and these are often the issues that being in couple therapy can help a couple improve between each other.

You can buy my book here if you are interested to read about these areas. If you would be interested to book a consultation please email me here.

I am passionate about us all having better education about relationships and am often asked to comment or advise – here are some links to articles or podcasts that I have been involved with.

How to have happier, healthier relationships

I was asked to give some of my thoughts on how to have happier, healthier relationships with our partners in this Guardian piece and one of the things I talked about is how when we have resentments with each other, it comes up in the most domestic and seemingly small aspects of our lives. We need to pay attention to these because these can be wonderful clues that there is something that needs attention in the relationship. Often what happens is that because the resentment is expressing itself in something small, one person says – you’re over-reacting, why are you so upset or angry about this “small” thing. But what is actually happening is that there is something underneath the small thing that is finding a way to show itself. We can all do this – much easier to express stuff sideways or indirectly than risk the difficulty of an intimate or potentially difficult conversation but actually when we find a way to address these issues it can clear the air.
