Opening Up a Relationship
Opening up a relationship can bring excitement, connection, and growth, but also questions about trust, jealousy, attachment, and boundaries. Explore consensual non monogamy with LGBTQ+ affirming therapy.
Opening up a relationship can be exciting, freeing, and deeply affirming—but it can also bring up complex emotions, especially if it hasn’t worked out in the past or you’re exploring it for the first time. At my practice, I support LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating consensual non-monogamy (CNM) in all its forms—whether that’s open relationships, polyamory, relationship anarchy, or something uniquely your own.
If you’re considering opening up a relationship, it’s completely normal to have questions or worries. You might wonder about trust, boundaries, jealousy, or how to communicate effectively with your partner(s). These are not signs of failure—they’re part of the process. If you’ve tried before and it felt difficult, you’re not alone. Many people find that with the right support, new approaches, and greater clarity, CNM can become a healthier, more positive experience.
In our work together, we can use therapeutic models to help you explore your needs, values, and agreements. Together, we’ll focus on strengthening communication, navigating emotions, and co-creating relationship structures that feel right for you.
Whether you’re curious, cautious, or committed, you deserve a space where your relationship choices are respected, and your wellbeing is prioritised.
