More than two

For three or more of you, in whatever arrangement you have

For three or more people in a relationship, including triads, larger networks and households, and for people working out how to open one up.

Sessions run 80 minutes. Everyone who wants to take part can come. At the start we agree who comes to which sessions, how we handle time with one person alone, and what stays between whom. We treat each connection as its own, and we ask about the whole group too.

You might be

  • A triad, or a larger group

  • Opening a relationship that was closed

  • Closing one that had opened

  • Sharing a home, or not

  • Raising children together, or not

Three women laughing together in warm light.

What to expect

  • How we work

    We draw on systemic approaches, which look at how each person and each connection shapes the whole. We name the approach we are using, and we say when something falls outside what we do.

  • What this is not

    It is not a place where a structure gets judged as a problem to fix. We don't rank partners, and we don't set your rules or boundaries for you.

  • How long, how often

    Sessions run 80 minutes. A larger group can take longer to find its rhythm. Your clinician sets the pace with you, and we never promise a number of sessions.

  • How it is paid

    The fee is set per session, not per person, and you divide it however you agree. It is given in writing before you start.

    How fees work

Three questions

Who is the client when there are three of us?

All of you who take part are. We agree at the start who comes to which sessions, and we go over it again whenever things change.

Can some of us come separately?

Sometimes, if everyone agrees to how it will work first. We set that up in advance so that nothing said alone becomes a secret that hurts someone.

Do you work with relationships that are open or non-monogamous?

Yes. We don't treat openness as the cause of a problem, and we don't treat closing a relationship as a fix.
