Relationship and couples counselling

A space to explore, listen, understand and reconnect.

Relationships are living systems. They shift, stretch and respond to the pressures and experiences around them. When communication becomes strained or old patterns take hold, it can feel difficult to stay connected.

Relationship and couples counselling is not only for moments of crisis. Many partners seek counselling to deepen their connection, strengthen their communication, and create a more compassionate and resilient relationship.

Whatever brings you to counselling, I offer a calm, grounded space where you can pause together to listen more deeply, explore your relationship with honesty, curiosity and care, and begin to understand your relationship with greater compassion.

In our relationship and couples counselling work together, I'll help you:

  • find clearer, kinder ways to communicate

  • understand recurring patterns that leave you feeling stuck

  • explore intimacy, desire and sexual connection

  • navigate trust, repair and reconnection

  • manage conflict in a way that supports growth rather than distance

  • work with differences in values, needs or life stages

  • understand how your histories and attachment styles shape the present moment

I may offer you simple practices or reflections to explore between sessions, helping you integrate new ways of relating into everyday life.

My approach is gentle and collaborative. I draw on humanistic and relational models, attachment theory, and established approaches to couples therapy to help you discover new ways to communicate, reconnect and navigate challenges together.

I offer a steady, non‑judgmental presence, creating a space where both partners can feel safe, respected and understood. This integrative approach allows the work to be responsive to the unique needs and rhythms of your relationship.

Duration: 60 or 90 minutes. Longer sessions can offer more space to settle, explore and move at a pace that feels supportive for both partners.
Fee per session: £80 or £100
Frequency: fortnightly
