Immigrating/relocating Couples Therapy:

Based on existential lifeworld theory and developed through doctoral research and extensive clinical work with couples, I offer group structured programmes and personal therapy programmes to helps partners understand and strengthen their relationship through periods of change, uncertainty, and identity shift.

Rather than focusing on symptoms or “fixing” communication, the programme works with five core relational domains—stability, belonging, couplehood, identity, and meaning—as anchors that support resilience and connection during transition.

Couples are guided through a structured process that integrates reflection, dialogue, and practical relational tools, helping them move from confusion and disconnection toward clarity, teamwork, and shared direction.

This programme is particularly suited to couples experiencing:

> relocation or recent international move

> cultural and identity transitions

> increased stress, distance, or role changes within the relationship

> a desire to strengthen the relationship during change, not only after crisis

Tali offers a unique approach to therapy, focusing on the human search for meaning and the importance of choosing one's attitude in any given set of circumstances. In her work she is integrating coaching, existential and Adlerian modalities to create a tailored approach to each couple. Her therapy sessions are designed to be creative and supportive, aiming to help clients understand and accept their experiences, open up new ways, fresh mindsets, and realize their freedom to choose. Tali's work is grounded in her existential and practical approach, drawing on her extensive clinical experience and research in Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology. She is a certified Couples Counsellor by the National Counselling Society and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Tali completed doctoral level studies in Psychotherapy and Counselling psychology, her thesis research focuses on the effects of immigration on couples' relationships.
