Couples Counselling

​I'm really passionate about helping couples and I've had the privilege over 10 years of helping many couples from all walks of like, backgrounds, religions, faiths and sexuality. In more recent years, I wanted to gain more knowledge and understanding of couples dynamics because it's a specialism, and very different to individual therapy. In 2024 I studied Relationship Psychotherapy and achieved a Postgraduate qualification (Advanced Diploma), so I can now understand your relationship difficulties and dynamics in a more specialist capacity and on a deeper, more thorough level. I draw upon Emotionally Focused Therapy, which includes Attachment Theory, ask me any questions about this if you're curious to know more. 

​

Common reasons couples seek therapy;

​

Communication difficulties, a betrayal (sexual or financial for example), distrust, unhappy with how your partner makes you feel, you feel unheard or unseen, loss of sexual intimacy or there's a change in how you feel towards your partner or each other,  and so on.

 

How would I help you both?

​

I enjoy helping you achieve what you need,  and I can be challenging when needed, giving you sound advice and encouragement, with plenty of compassion and kindness, as well as fun and laughter where relevant. But, I don't do all the work, we all need to do our bit of work together to make it work, which I will guide you with.

​​

Within your first appointment and with your help, I will spend time understanding what the difficulties are within your relationship - as well as the good things which you may have lost sight of.

In your second appointment, I will see you both individually for an hour, where I'll learn about your past and current relationships with parents/carers and past intimate partners as well as how you experience your current relationship. 

Going forward.......From appointment 3, I have understood your relationship goals, what your difficulties are and what's impacted you both within the relationship.  I will create a Roadmap of what I think we need to focus on and understand about your relationship to create long term change. I will communicate this to you so we can all collaborate.​

​

Fee for 1 hour appointment is £110 (this reflects my level of qualifications and experience)

I offer a free 15 minute Zoom meet for us all to meet prior to committing.
