If you are looking for couples counselling, something in the way you are relating is likely no longer working for one or both of you. Communication may feel strained or stuck, the connection you once had may feel distant, or recurring arguments may be leaving you both feeling frustrated or misunderstood. Sometimes this happens gradually over time; sometimes a life event or transition brings things to a head. Either way, there is often a sense that something needs to change.

 

Many couples seek therapy at a point of crisis—when resentment, disappointment, or emotional distance has built up and the relationship feels fragile. You may be unsure whether things can improve, or whether separation is the only remaining option. Couples counselling offers the space to slow things down and intentionally unpack what has been happening between you.

 

My role as a couples therapist is to help you notice and interrupt the unhelpful patterns you may be caught in together, and to support you in rebuilding communication and empathy where these have broken down. I work collaboratively, offering clear guidance, practical communication exercises, and opportunities to practise new ways of relating both in sessions and between them.

 

Difficulties in relationships are often shaped by unconscious patterns from earlier experiences, which can become activated between partners in ways that are painful and confusing. I will help you explore and begin to untangle these patterns, so that you can respond to each other with more understanding and choice. This work can be challenging and requires commitment, particularly when emotions feel intense. My commitment is to be reliable, fully present, and alongside you throughout the process.

 

If you would like to explore whether this way of working feels right for you, we would begin with a full initial session to get a sense of your relationship, your hopes, and how it feels to work together.

 

I offer regular weekly couples therapy, as well as more flexible arrangements for couples who are unable to commit to a fixed time.
