Counselling for Couples
There are all sorts of reasons why you might be considering couples counselling.
Perhaps you're:
-
Stuck in the same arguments
-
Finding it hard to say what you really need
-
Feeling yourselves drifting apart
-
Coping with change or loss
-
Starting something new together and wanting to stay connected
Couples therapy isn’t only for when things are falling apart. It can be a space to slow down, to listen, and to really see each other again.
If you feel unsure about what happens in couples counselling, or whether it’s right for you, you’re not alone. My aim is to offer a calm, straightforward space where we can think together about what you both need.
I’m a BACP Accredited Counsellor with advanced training in attachment, which means I pay close attention to how our relationships shape who we are and how we connect.
I’m currently completing specialist training in couples counselling, and I’ll be offering a block of sessions at a reduced rate from February 2026.
How couples counselling can help
When a relationship feels tense or distant, it can be difficult to make sense of what’s going on. You might find yourselves stuck in the same pattern: one of you trying to talk while the other withdraws, or both of you shutting down to keep the peace.
In counselling we look at what happens between you — not who’s right or wrong. We’ll explore the emotions that sit underneath the arguments, silences or misunderstandings, and the hopes that lie beneath the surface.
Together we can:
-
Notice the patterns that keep you stuck
-
Understand what drives those patterns and how they began
-
Find safer ways to talk about what feels painful or confusing
-
Rebuild trust, warmth and teamwork in your relationship
Our early experiences often shape how we show our needs, respond to conflict and reach for each other when things feel hard. When we can understand this together, it becomes easier to step out of old habits and find a new way to connect.
The goal isn’t a perfect relationship — it’s one where you can communicate more openly, repair more easily, and feel more secure with each other.
Sessions take place online via Zoom, so you can join from home or wherever feels comfortable and private.
Next steps ...
If you’d like to explore how couples counselling could help, get in touch. I'll be offering a set of eight weekly sessions at a reduced rate for couples from February 2026.
This reduced rate will be £20 per session.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you reach out. We can take it one step at a time, and see together whether this feels like the right space for you both.
