Relationships are complex, and at times challenging. Whether you are in a new relationship, a long term couple, or facing specific issues, couples counselling can provide support, guidance, and tools to strengthen your connection.

Why Couples Counselling?

Couples counselling, also known as couples therapy or relationship counselling, offers a safe and confidential space for you to explore your feelings, communicate more effectively, and work through challenges. It's not just for couples in crisis, it's a proactive step towards maintaining a strong and resilient relationship. 

Benefits of Couples Counselling

  • Improved Communication: Communication is one of the key issues that couples might bring to a session. In counselling you are able to explore how you communicate in your relationship and learn effective communication skills to express your needs, concerns, and feelings constructively. 

​

  • Conflict Resolution: Couples, and even individuals within couples, may approach conflict in many different ways. Some might shout, some withdraw into silence. In counselling, you can identify your own ways of dealing with conflict and gain strategies for navigating these, enabling you to resolve issues in a healthy and productive manner.​

​

  • Enhanced Intimacy: It may be that intimacy has always been an issue within the relationship or it may be that it has declined over many years. Counselling can help you rediscover emotional and physical intimacy, fostering a deeper connection.

​​

  • Understanding Each Other: Ultimately, many of us just want to simply be understood by our partner, Counselling can offer a safe space for you to explore and understand each other's perspectives,values, and expectations.

​​

  • Building Trust: Trust is a key part of a relationship and there can be different ways in which it can break down. It might be over a series of moments or over one particular event, such as an affair. Counselling can help you work through infidelity together, address trust issues and rebuild trust through open and honest dialogue.

My Approach

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different approaches to ensure that therapy is tailored to you, as a couple. It is very much a collaborative process where we work together to see what you would like to work on and what might be helpful to you both. I aim to create a supportive environment where couples can openly express themselves and work collaboratively towards positive change.
