Relationships can be deeply fulfilling, but they can also become stuck in painful patterns of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. Couples therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what is happening between you and to find healthier, more connected ways of relating to one another.

I believe that effective couples therapy should feel safe and collaborative. Together, we will explore your relationship dynamics, communication styles, and the emotional needs that sit beneath recurring difficulties. Sessions provide an opportunity to slow things down, reflect on what is really happening between you, and develop clearer, more respectful ways of expressing yourselves.

Couples come to therapy for many different reasons: feeling disconnected, struggling with communication, recovering from betrayal, facing external pressures, or simply wanting to strengthen their relationship before problems become more entrenched. Whatever brings you here, you will be met with warmth, professionalism and care.

My approach to couples therapy is integrative, drawing from person-centred principles but also being solution-focused and gently directive. This means I work in a way that is warm, impartial and kind, whilst actively helping you to identify unhelpful patterns and move towards practical, meaningful change. I aim to support both partners to feel heard and understood, without blame or judgement.

My role is not to take sides, but to help you work as a team again — whether that means rebuilding trust, improving communication, navigating a life transition, making sense of repeated conflict, or having the ending to the relationship that you would like. I offer structure and guidance where helpful, while always respecting your individual experiences and the pace that feels right for you both.

Therapy is not about deciding who is right or wrong, but about understanding what is happening between you and creating space for change. My aim is to help you develop greater awareness, deeper empathy, and practical tools that support a more secure and satisfying relationship.

What to Expect

Once you get in touch and express an interest in starting couples therapy, I will arrange to meet with each of you individually. Ideally, these appointments take place within a few days of one another. After both individual sessions, we will schedule your first joint session. All ongoing sessions will be attended together.

During our work, we will draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to explore the areas you’ve identified as needing attention. I take an active role in the process — asking for clarification, helping each of you understand how your words are being heard, and supporting you both to express your thoughts and feelings more clearly.

Between sessions, I may suggest tasks or reflections for you to work on at home. These are designed to support the progress we’re making in the room, and engaging with them is an important part of the therapeutic agreement we enter into together.

Frequency and Charges

Sessions are initially one hour in length. Sometimes we may find that an hour doesn’t give us quite enough space to explore everything that’s emerging. If that becomes the case, we can agree together to extend future sessions to 90 minutes.

I usually recommend attending weekly or fortnightly. The right frequency depends on how much time you feel you need between sessions to reflect, put new ideas into practice, and complete any tasks we’ve agreed on.

60 minutes — £70

90 minutes — £85
