From Flatmates to Lovers Again: trauma-informed EFT couples therapy and sex therapy in Auckland and online worldwide
It really is possible to understand each other better and fall deeply in love again with your partner, even if you've been disconnected for years.
I help couples to stop having that same argument, again and again, understand each other better, and enjoy a truly fulfilling relationship using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) intertwined with sex therapy and tantric practices.
You can love each other and still feel lonely.
You can share a life and still feel like flatmates.
You can want intimacy and still tense up when it’s “supposed to happen.”
If you’re stuck in the same argument, shutdown, or cold distance, you’re not broken.
You’re caught in a relationship pattern.
And patterns can change.
I'd love to help you get started with a complimentary "Get the Love You Desire" Discovery Session.

What we do together
I use EFT therapy (Emotionally Focused Therapy) to find the real problem underneath the conflict.
And I integrate sex therapy and tantric practices in a grounded, consent-led way.
So intimacy isn’t another place you feel judged, pressured, or alone.
So your body can feel safe enough to want.
This is trauma-informed therapy.
We go at a pace your nervous system can actually handle.
We don’t bulldoze with “communication tips” while your body is screaming no.
I only have 2 spaces open for these sessions all month and once they are gone, they're gone!

"The intimacy between us now is so much deeper."
"My relationship with my husband was almost destroyed. With Tarisha's help I understand my husband so much better now and I'm so much more connected to myself. The intimacy between us now is so much deeper, whole new level. Thank you! Thank you for your love and care, Tarisha."
"When I reached out to Tarisha, after 4 years of marriage my husband and I were in a very disconnected place and nothing seemed to change that."
"When working with a Tarisha she helped us to realise the negative patterns that we were both doing and practising within our relationship. She helped us to gain realisation and gave us the tools to make better choices before heading to that “stuck” state. We have come out the other side and we are truely happy and are able to read and communicate so much better, both feeling so much more fulfilled. We have been working with Tarisha as a couple for over a year in addition I have attended one of her women’s workshops which was an amazing experience. "We are so grateful for her patience, knowledge and expertise and I would highly recommend her to add value to anyone’s relationship or marriage no matter how young or old it is."
"I feel like I was given a new life."
"I can't believe my relationship with my husband changed so much! We are again in love as 14 years ago, but now this feels so much deeper. Wow! Just in one weekend! Where were you before, Tarisha? I feel like I was given a new life."

I work online and in my office in Ponsonby, Auckland. I also lead couple's intensives and couples and women's retreats.
I have a particular interest in working with couples who want more sexual fulfilment, experience sexual difficulties and/or have a history of unwanted sexual experiences. I'm trained in supporting clients with sexual trauma as well as using tantric arts to bring more joy into couple's sex life.
Whether you've been feeling dissatisfied in your relationship for years, have just experienced a breakdown in trust or starting a new relationship, it all comes down to (re)creating a solid emotional connection with your partner that can withstand life's ups and downs.
I offer an evidence-based approach of Emotionally Focused Therapy that has been proven to consistently show excellent follow-up results, and some studies show that significant progress continues after therapy.
EFT is the only model of couple intervention that uses a systematic empirically validated theory of adult bonding as the basis for understanding and alleviating relationship problems. EFT has been proven to be successful across different kinds of clients and couples facing co-morbidities such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
In brief, EFT works very well, results last, and it works across different populations and problems https://iceeft.com/eft-research.
In our work together I will...
... guide you to identify the painful communication cycle you and your partner inadvertently engage in...
... show you how to change your negative cycle into a positive one that creates more connection and understanding...
... help you share with your partner what you need in a way that they can hear and respond to positively...
... help you find a way to bring a deep emotional connection with your partner...
... show you how to update your communication so you can understand each other better...
... help you create exciting and satisfying sex life...
... show you how to resolve long-standing disagreements so you're not constantly arguing about the same issues...
... encourage you to nurture your relationship so that your relationship nurtures you.
Of course, I can't promise you that your relationship will work out. Sometimes we are just not meant to be together and things don't work out no matter what we do. But I can promise that you will gain clarity, understand each other better, and more importantly you will understand how you work and what you contribute to the difficulties so you don't have to repeat painful relational dynamics.
I'd love to hear from you,
