The essence of a healthy, happy relationship lies in learning to navigate these ups and downs together. Sometimes, partners can resolve their challenges depending on the issue's severity and their ability to communicate effectively.
Couples counselling helps partners of all types resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. Whether to rebuild or to part ways, it offers a path for thoughtful decision-making.
As a couples counsellor, our role is to guide you through your relationship's challenges. With specialised training in relationship dynamics, we offer tailored support for each unique partnership. My approach focuses on providing a safe space where both partners feel heard and understood.
In our sessions, you can expect to:
- Improve Communication: Learn better ways to talk and listen.
- Understand Each Other: Gain insight into each other’s perspectives.
- Resolve Conflicts: Develop healthier ways to navigate disagreements.
- Rekindle Intimacy: Explore paths to deepen your emotional connection.

Our therapeutic focus also extends to individualised relationship issues & other concerns.
Couples counselling works by guiding partners to recognise and address their unique relationship issues. After an initial evaluation assessing the couple's strengths and areas for improvement, we collaborate to define your therapeutic goals. This process involves exploring various methods and strategies to work together effectively, both during and outside of therapy sessions, aiming to foster a healthier and more fulfilling relationship.
We offer two key therapy approaches: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples express and understand each other's feelings to better meet needs and desires. Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) targets specific issues with clear goals and practical solutions for quick, positive changes.
Partners will typically attend sessions together, either virtually or in person. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, there may be times when individual sessions are recommended to supplement your progress. This approach allows me to understand each partner more deeply, assess their personal needs, and develop an optimal plan for moving forward.
By addressing both individual needs and those of the relationship, we aim to improve your ability to express feelings, discuss issues with your partner, and effectively resolve conflicts.
