Every relationship faces challenges. Whether you are struggling with communication, trust, intimacy, or unresolved past experiences, couples counselling offers a safe space to explore what is happening between you.
At my practice, I work with couples using an integrated approach, drawing on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and Systemic perspectives to help you both feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. This integrated method helps you uncover the underlying patterns in your relationship, offering insight and practical tools to foster communication, understanding, and growth.
At the heart of my work is the belief that everyone deserves to be valued and understood without judgment. In our sessions, I provide a warm, compassionate space where you can each express your thoughts and feelings openly, without fear of blame or criticism. By focusing on empathy, genuineness, and acceptance, I help you reconnect with your needs and each other.
Many relationship difficulties stem from unconscious patterns shaped by past experiences, perhaps childhood attachment wounds or past relationships that still influence how you relate to your partner. By exploring these deeper dynamics, we can uncover what might be driving conflict, emotional distance, or repeating patterns of hurt.
Through this exploration, you gain a deeper understanding of yourselves and each other. Together, we can bring these unconscious dynamics into awareness, enabling greater empathy and intimacy.
Your relationship doesn’t exist in isolation. Family influences, cultural expectations, and external pressures (such as work stress or life transitions) all influence how you interact.
Systemic counselling enables you to recognise how you both contribute to the current challenges by looking at the relationship as a whole. It creates opportunities to shift unhelpful patterns and build healthier ways of relating.
Together, we explore how you communicate, where misunderstandings arise, and how to break unhelpful cycles, allowing for deeper connection and mutual support.
Couples counselling is not about assigning blame or finding a right or a wrong partner. Instead, it is about:
Improving communication: Learning to listen and express yourselves in ways that foster connection rather than conflict.
Strengthening emotional bonds: Deepening understanding, trust, and emotional intimacy.
Addressing recurring issues: Breaking free from negative cycles and creating space for new patterns.
Navigating transitions: Supporting you through life changes such as parenthood, loss, or work stress.
Every couple is unique, so our work is tailored to your needs. However, sessions typically involve:
Whether seeking to rebuild trust, navigate a crisis, or improve your connection, couples counselling offers a space to pause, reflect, and rebuild together.
Choosing to seek help is a courageous step that shows your commitment to each other and your relationship. If you are ready to explore how I can support you both, please get in touch to book an initial session.
