Host Alex Smith speaks with Jem Stopes, a COSRT Registered Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist specialising in couples work – they help couples navigate the complexities of intimacy, connection, and conflict.
Jem’s background in conflict mediation and behavior change, particularly with perpetrators of domestic abuse, has significantly influenced their therapeutic style, which is characterised by a blend of frankness and kindness.
When not in the therapy room, you’ll likely find them producing community events with their mobile sauna, dancing, or planning their next adventure — currently involving a motorcycle and the mountains of Oaxaca.
Jem’s approach to therapy is informed by their belief in the importance of addressing underlying issues that lead to conflict, rather than merely treating surface-level problems. This perspective has led them to focus exclusively on couples counseling, allowing them to draw on their full range of skills and experiences.
Jem’s philosophy for getting couples counselling is “Relationships are hard, getting some support along the way isn’t a failure, it’s just common sense!”
Jem hosts a free online monthly peer support group for non-monogamous people. See http://jemstopes.co/enm for more info
