Non-Monogamy

Exploring Non-Monogamous Relationships

Non-monogamy refers to relationship structures that involve multiple romantic or sexual partners, with the knowledge and consent of all individuals involved. These relationships come in many forms, such as polyamory, open relationships, or relationship anarchy. While non-monogamous relationships can be fulfilling, they also require strong communication, trust, and boundary-setting to maintain healthy dynamics.

The Role of Counselling in Non-Monogamous Relationships

Therapy provides a supportive space for individuals and partners in non-monogamous relationships to navigate the unique challenges of their relationship structure. Counselling focuses on fostering open communication, building trust, and setting clear boundaries to ensure that all parties feel respected and valued.

Building Trust and Communication

One of the key aspects of non-monogamous relationships is maintaining trust and open communication. Therapy helps individuals and couples discuss their needs, desires, and boundaries openly, fostering a sense of security and mutual respect in the relationship.

Managing Jealousy and Emotional Challenges

Jealousy and emotional challenges can arise in non-monogamous relationships, just as in monogamous ones. Counselling helps individuals manage these emotions, develop emotional self-awareness, and create strategies for navigating complex relationship dynamics.

Paul Chantry

Integrative Counsellor MBACP

We often think that we can manage on our own, but there comes a point when we need to reach out and seek support. Perhaps you are feeling anxious or depressed? Maybe you are finding life overwhelming or have a sense of sadness, hopelessness and despair? Or maybe you are feeling angry and frustrated? If you are experiencing any of these emotions then counselling can really help you to make sense of things, better understand yourself, and overcome the issues which are causing you distress. I am a qualified counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I have experience of helping people who suffer with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, self-harm, relationship and family conflict.  If you’ve never had counselling before then finding the right therapist can be confusing and intimidating, so it’s important that you take time to find the right therapist for you. Please don't hesitate to contact me for a free initial telephone consultation so that I can find out a bit more about what's troubling you and we can explore how I can help.

Joanna Miller Brighton

Joanna Miller

Integrative Psychotherapist

I’m an accredited psychotherapist with 15 years experience.I believe that the counselling relationship should be a creative space for both parties. It should feel comfortable and open enough to be free from anxiety and pressure in which new perspectives can emerge. In my view most mental activity takes place below the level of conscious awareness and my role is to help people gain access to it and insights from it.As an accredited therapist I am affiliated with several private healthcare companies including BUPA and AXA. I have an up-to-date DBS certificate which is registered on the update service. As well as working with individual adults, including trainee therapists, I have many years' experience working with children, couples and families. I have been a university counsellor so have a lot of experience working with students and young people and have also worked in secondary schools.

Cerrie Lantrua Brighton

Cerrie Lantrua

Counsellor

Clients often tell me how much they value having a space where they feel understood, where they don’t have to explain their neurodivergence or justify their experiences.I am neurodivergent myself, and I’m open about that. It’s not something I see as a limitation, but as something that shapes how I understand, relate, and connect. Alongside my training and experience, this gives me a way of seeing things that often helps clients feel recognised in ways they may not have experienced before.I’m naturally creative and tend to think outside the box, which allows me to consider different perspectives and gently step into what it might be like to be you, not from a place of judgement, but from a genuine willingness to understand.At the same time, I don’t assume your experience is the same as anyone else’s. No two people are the same. A big part of what I offer is taking the time to learn what you need, how you experience things, and what support feels right for you.You are the expert on yourself. My role isn’t to tell you what to do or who to be, but to walk alongside you as you begin to understand yourself more fully.I aim to create a space where you feel safe enough to be real. Where you don’t have to mask, filter, or find the “right” way to say things. A space where you can feel seen, heard, and genuinely understood.
