About Couples Counselling
I specialise in couple therapy, with thousands of hours of experience working with relationship issues. My background includes thorough and intensive training with relationship experts, Relate, alongside ongoing continuing professional development. I aim to offer you the highest standard of professional support, tailored to your individual needs and relationship.
Are you a couple who feel you’ve lost your way and no longer enjoy each other as you once did? Perhaps communication has become difficult, and you no longer feel heard, understood or seen by one another.
You may be trying to work through an infidelity, navigate a significant life event, manage the pressures of raising a family, or address challenges that arise in later life. Perhaps the spark has faded in your long-term relationship, intimacy has become limited, or your sex life isn’t where you’d like it to be.
Whatever difficulties you are facing, you may be longing to reconnect and rediscover the closeness you once shared.
There are so many reasons why couples seek relationship therapy. With the right support you can often find a new lease of life in your partnership or marriage, sometimes richer than you thought possible.
Sadly, sometimes couples decide that parting ways is the best option for them. I can also offer a space for reflection during this difficult time, helping you navigate separation and work towards an amicable ending, with understanding and respect for each other.
It is not just romantic relationships I work with. If you are struggling with a family member, work colleague, difficult friend or any relationship that would benefit from greater understanding and harmony I can work with you both to find a more positive way forward.
I am here to facilitate and help improve communication, I will not take sides, but help you both feel valued, heard and respected.
What to Expect
After an initial chat, I will invite you to attend an assessment session to gain more information, get some background and take a history. After our first session, I will then invite you to attend individually over the following two weeks. This gives me time to get you know you more on a one to one basis and helps me understand you more as a couple. We will meet the same time every week to create a consistent therapeutic space for you both.
Every 8 weeks we will review our work together. Sometimes if couples are in a stable place at this stage, appointments can go to fortnightly to maintain the work we have done.
If you would like to arrange a free 15 minute phone chat or a mini Zoom meet, please contact me.
