Helping Individuals and Couples Change the Patterns That Keep Them Stuck
Psychologist in Rosebank, Jhb Couples Therapy
​
Relationships can be a source of support and joy — or of pain and disconnection.
When a partnership is strained, surface-level advice rarely helps. Couples therapy with me is structured, in-depth, and designed for connection.
​
You have to be committed to doing your part of the work to build the relationship that works for you both.
Couples Therapy in Jhb, and Online
​​
Couples come to see me when:
They desire more connection
They want to strengthen their relationship
They feel disconnection and desire more intimacy
They have transition challenges (new baby, blended families, relocation, career pressure)
Decision clarity (whether to stay, leave, or separate with care)
They want to deepen their understanding of each other
They are committed to taking personal responsibility for the health of their relationship.

How I work with couples
Intake process: one joint session, one individual session with each partner, then a joint feedback session to map the way forward (standard fees apply of 51 minute sessions)
From this I get a sense of the best way to proceed. Sometimes this may be embarking on individual sessions before we can move to joint sessions.
At the correct time, we would have a 1 or 2 day intensive. The 1 day intensive is R11 000 and the 2 day intensive is R22000. Thereafter we may continue on bi-monthly sessions (R3500 x 100 min) or 3 hour intensives (R5500).
Relational intelligence and connection is the work I do with couples. This may draw on Gottman's theory, EFT, Encounter-Centered Couples Transformation, and systemic work
We focus on nervous-system safety and safety between you: slowing reactive cycles so repair and reconnection are possible
The process is depth and commitment: therapy designed to shift patterns, not apply quick fixes, nor make one person's wishes the way forward - there has to be room for both people and a conscious shared healthy experience.

👉 Note: I take on a limited number of couples at a time. You may be placed on a waitlist.

What Others Say:
Couple 3
We were advised to have individual sessions with Farhana before we embarked on our couples journey. The individual sessions allowed us to shift our own patterns and perceptions, so when we did the joint session, we were much more willing to listen, and could self-regulate, which allowed us to co-regulate - a term I had not heard of before.
