Couples Counselling
Relationships can bring deep joy and connection, but they can also feel painful and confusing when communication breaks down or distance grows between you. If you’re feeling stuck, unheard, or disconnected from your partner, you don’t have to face it alone. Couples therapy offers a safe, supportive space to slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to rebuild trust, closeness, and emotional connection.
My approach to couples counselling
When couples come to me, it’s often because things have started to feel stuck, or conversations all too quickly turn into arguments, leading to a growing distance between the two of you. My role is to help guide you both through this difficult stage, bringing you both towards a deeper understanding of each other, and a renewed connection.
My approach is framed around Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, which provides a solid framework for couples exploration. My knowledge also draws on The developmental model, which recognises that relationships naturally move through stages. In the early phase, couples often feel deeply connected (symbiosis). Over time, differences begin to show as each partner starts to express their individuality (differentiation and individuation). These transitions can be challenging, but they’re also opportunities for growth.
In our sessions, we can look at the patterns of behaviour that are informed by our deepest attachment needs - those needs that we all have - to feel loved, seen, and accepted for who we are. Together we can work on better communication, deeper emotional understanding, and stronger intimacy.
My approach is safe, adaptable, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Whether you’re feeling in crisis or simply want to feel closer again, I offer a compassionate, structured space where both partners can be heard, and where healing and reconnection can begin.
Fees
Dependent on your needs, there are different fee packages that are available. You may want to commit to a package of sessions, or an extended assessment session to really get the work going, or pay as you go for individual sessions.
Extended Assessment Session
£150
The extended assessment session gives us the time and space to slow down and really focus on you as a couple, and as individuals within that partnership. Many couples find that a standard one hour session can feel a little rushed, and sometimes leave things raw at the end. This extended time allows for a fuller exploration of what’s been happening between you, what each partner brings to the relationship, and what you both hope to change. It’s also a chance to see how therapy works, share any worries, and begin setting clear goals for the journey ahead, leaving you both feeling grounded, understood, and ready to begin.
Couples package
£630
This package offers a supportive and structured start to your journey of reconnection. It begins with an extended assessment session, giving us the time to really understand your relationship and what you both need. Each partner then has an individual session to explore their own experiences and how these shape the patterns between you. The four couples sessions that follow provide the space to work together with direction, purpose, and care. Committing to this package provides a clear sense of direction and focus, helping you both feel supported, understood, and confident in the process of creating meaningful change.
PAYG Session
£100
For those who prefer flexibility, pay-as-you-go sessions offer the freedom to dip in and out of therapy as needed, without any upfront commitment. You can book sessions at your own pace, giving yourself space to reflect between sessions, or return when new challenges arise. This option suits couples who want to explore therapy without a fixed timeframe, or who value the ability to take things one step at a time - no commitment, no upfront bill, just the opportunity to focus on your relationship when it feels right.
Communication Workshop for couples
​​
Effective communication is one of the most significant factors in relationship wellbeing. The ability to stay attuned to your partner and hear what they are saying can be difficult when you are feeling hurt, dismissed, or misunderstood.
​
This practical and supportive workshop is designed to help you understand what's really happening in those difficult moments, and to give you concrete tools to communicate more clearly, more kindly, and more effectively. Working with research-based frameworks, you'll leave with a much clearer sense of your own patterns — and a set of skills you can use straight away.
​
This workshop is designed for couples attending together who want to develop better ways of managing difficult conversations.
Educational in nature, this workshop complements, but does not replace individual or couples therapy.
​
All materials are provided. No prior experience of therapy or counselling is required.​
