Couple Work
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy can help you to:
- Identify repressed attitudes towards one another.
- Highlight dysfunctional patterns of communicating.
- Help to resolve difficult conflicts.
- Achieve effective ways of communicating without fear or anxiety.
- Increase awareness, empathy and understanding.
I work with all types of couples: heterosexual, LGBTQ+; married or co-habiting; separating or divorcing; with or without children to consider.
You may benefit from relationship counselling if you are struggling with:
- Conflicted Attachment Styles
- Co-dependence
- Infidelity and Betrayal
- Anger
- Boredom
- Different parenting styles
- Stressful factors at home or work
- Resolving historical issues without fear of judgement or animosity
Deciding to end a relationship is difficult, no matter what your circumstances are. For those of you who have decided to go your separate ways, relationship counselling for breakups becomes an opportunity not only to form an understanding of what has happened, but to begin to heal, giving space for the grieving process that many couples may experience. Those who have children may also want to address tangible aspects of the separation including co-parenting.
Get in touch
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange a free 15 minute phone or video consultation. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
All enquires are usually answered within 24 hours, and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure phone and email services.

Sessions
Individual Therapy
Sessions are for a 50 minute ‘hour’ (the remaining ten minutes is so I can reflect and be fully present for each client). My fee is payable by BACs in advance of the session.
Your session is your time. If you arrive late, we'll still finish at the normal time.
Couples Therapy
Session duration is 60 minutes and in some cases 90 minutes. My fee is payable by BACs on the day of the session.
I am not able to conduct the session if only one of the couple attends and if you arrive late, I will still end the session at the normal time.
Guidelines
- If therapy is to be beneficial, it is important that you are available for your weekly sessions on a regular basis.
- I ask for 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel, because your time is held for you. Sessions cancelled with less notice are charged in full.
- Please come to sessions sober, so that our time together is useful.
- I'm not an emergency service. If you need urgent support, please contact your GP or the Samaritans.
