Counselling for Couples
When your relationship feels harder than you'd like it to feel
Most couples don’t reach out because of one dramatic moment.
They reach out because something feels off.
You’re talking, but not really connecting.
You’re stuck in the same arguments.
You’re living busy, parallel lives.
Or a life transition - becoming parents, shifting careers, children growing up — has changed the shape of your relationship.
You might be feeling:
-
Hurt, misunderstood or shut out
-
Stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change
-
More like housemates than partners
-
Overwhelmed by the mental load and resentful of how much you carry
-
Unsure how to repair after conflict
-
Worried that you’re quietly drifting apart
And yet, beneath all of this, there’s a wish:
You want to feel closer. You want to feel understood.
You want things to feel easier, kinder, more connected.
That’s where couples therapy can help.
How I help couples
Couples therapy offers a calm, structured space for you to pause, understand one another more deeply, and rebuild the connection that’s been missing.
I work in an attachment-informed way, helping you:
-
Understand the patterns you fall into as a couple
-
Make sense of what each partner is feeling beneath the surface
-
Improve communication so you can talk without becoming stuck in the same cycle
-
Repair ruptures and strengthen trust
-
Navigate life transitions with more awareness and less resentment
-
Reconnect with each other, even when things feel strained or distant
My role isn’t to take sides or decide who’s “right”.
It’s to help you understand what’s really happening between you - and to guide you towards a more secure, compassionate way of relating.
Next steps ...
If you’d like to explore whether couples counselling feels right for you both, you’re welcome to book a free introductory chat. It’s a chance for us to meet, talk informally about what’s been happening, and for you to get a feel for how I work.
I’ve completed initial couples counselling training, and I’m now undertaking advanced clinical training to work at greater depth.
Because of this, I am offering an initial block of eight weekly sessions at a reduced rate of £20 per session.
Sessions last 50 minutes and are held weekly via Zoom, and you’ll meet with me together as a couple. After the initial block, we can review what you’ve found helpful and consider the best next steps.
