About James Kennedy

Marriage Counseling / Relationship Therapist

I have a life-long interest in relationships and in how they work. I have broad experience in providing counseling and coaching for couples with troubled relationships. I work closely with my wife, Dr. Sharyn Kennedy who has a PhD in Cognitive Psychology and is widely known and respected for her work at CBT Abu Dhabi.

We have an enduring interest in counseling and in what makes relationships work, or not. We know how hard it can be when marriages hit tough times, and we are qualified to help you to weather the storms with your mate.

Breaking it Down

There are many issues that seriously need relationship counseling: infidelity, divorce, lack of security in the relationship, intimacy problems, sexual issues and jealousy, to name just a few. These can generally be worked through if you are willing and ready to persevere. We will help you to get some clarity, and we can give you some strategies to help you move forward.

Marriage counseling in Abu Dhabi

Challenging times are normal in all marriages. Once the problems are addressed, troubled marriages can benefit greatly by restoring the romance and intimacy. Relationships need to be loving, rewarding and safe places. One thing is certain: more challenges will come. As a marriage therapist I’ll help you learn a range of skills and strategies that will strengthen your relationship.

Approach

Just as children need strong, loving and safe relationship bonds to blossom, so it is with adults. Our work is based on Attachment Theory, the proven link between strong relationship bonds and a full and happy life. Attachment Theory is part of all of our DNA. Good relationships are not only nice to be part of, they are essential for our survival. Without them we wither and die like fruit on the vine.
