Partners who reach out for couples counselling do so for a wide variety of reasons, such as communication difficulties, conflicts and disagreements over finances, intimacy, parenting, roles and responsibilities or other issues such as infidelity.  Many couples on the verge of splitting up seek therapy, to see whether the relationship can be saved or to navigate the breakup in the healthiest, least destructive way possible; especially where there are dependent children.

​

My role is to be an impartial and non-judgemental third party to help you identify patterns that are keeping you both stuck in a negative cycle.  The “neutral” space of the therapy room can be a safe haven for you both to express things that have been difficult or challenging, express your emotions, hopes, fears and identify any changes that would benefit the relationship. This process may promote greater compassion and understanding of both your own needs and those of your partner and it can make you feel heard.  It will help you both learn more productive ways of managing conflict and navigating problems as they arise.

​

I will provide impartial support, am non-judgemental and supportive to both of you.  I will provide you with guidance and resources that you can work on outside of sessions  so you can immediately start to improve the relationship.

​

Couples therapy may also be beneficial if one or both partners suffer from physical health problems, anxiety, depression or other challenges, as these issues can disrupt connection or drive a wedge between partners. In these cases, it is recommended that either one or both partners also pursue individual therapy.

​

As well as attending couples sessions, I recommend that each of you attend an individual session prior to or at the start of couples therapy for you to freely express thoughts and feelings about the relationship from your own perspective. 

​

Couples Session is for an extended period of 90 minutes: £95.
