Couples Therapy
Relationships take work — and sometimes that work needs a supportive guide. Couples therapy is a space where both partners can be heard, understood, and supported in building a healthier, more connected relationship. Available online to couples in India and internationally.
How Couples Therapy Works
Couples therapy at Dandelion Psychotherapy uses Transactional Analysis (TA) as the primary framework. TA helps partners understand the ego states (Parent, Adult, Child) they operate from during interactions — and how these dynamics create friction or closeness.
Sessions are held jointly with both partners on a video call via Google Meet. Occasionally, Yoshita may suggest brief individual check-ins to support the overall process. The goal is never to assign blame — it is to understand, reconnect, and grow together.
Being Queer Affirmative, the practice welcomes all relationship structures and identities without assumption or judgment.
Who Is Couples Therapy For?
Recurring Conflict
You keep having the same arguments without resolution. Small disagreements escalate quickly. You feel stuck in a cycle of blame or withdrawal.
Emotional Distance
You feel disconnected from your partner — like roommates rather than a couple. Intimacy, affection, or emotional closeness has faded over time.
Trust & Repair
Trust has been broken — through betrayal, dishonesty, or unmet expectations. You want to rebuild but don't know where to start.
Life Transitions
Major changes — moving in together, career shifts, family pressure, or becoming parents — are straining the relationship in new ways.

What to Expect in Sessions
Being Heard Without Judgment
Both partners get equal space to express themselves honestly. The therapist ensures each person feels heard, validated, and understood — without taking sides.
Understanding Patterns
Using Transactional Analysis, Yoshita helps you both recognise the recurring cycles in your interactions — the scripts, games, and dynamics that keep you stuck.
Learning New Ways to Communicate
Sessions focus on building practical communication skills. You will learn to express needs clearly, listen without defensiveness, and respond rather than react.
Confidential & Non-Judgmental Space
What is shared in sessions stays in sessions. The therapeutic space is free from blame — focused entirely on growth, understanding, and moving forward together.
