The My Therapy difference

Because the fight doesn’t stop when the session ends.

Our approach

Our unique relationship approach

Rational Intimacy Based Relationship Therapy (RIBRT) — our proven approach for lasting relational change. Specifically developed for last-chance couples — designed to help couples in crisis find hope and a way forward.

  • Rational — we examine how partners interpret each other’s behaviour through their own lens of meaning.
  • Intimacy — we help couples create a safe emotional space and re-establish emotional connection.
  • Relationship — we work with the relationship itself, not only the two individuals in it.
  • Therapy — we go deeper than counselling, addressing attachment styles and family-of-origin patterns so the relationship can truly heal.
  • The aim is not just to stay together, but to become truly happy together and create a relationship that feels like a safe space.
