When life feels overwhelming, you don't have to face it alone.

Counselling for couples

When relationships feel difficult

Relationships can be rewarding, but they can also be complicated. Even strong relationships can go through difficult periods, and sometimes it can feel hard to find a way forward together.

Individual counselling can provide a valuable space to explore relationship difficulties on your own. Couples counselling offers something different: the opportunity for both partners to come together and explore what is happening in the relationship, with the support of an impartial counsellor.

A space to understand each other

Couples counselling can give you the opportunity to talk openly about your feelings, needs and concerns, including the things that may feel difficult to say to each other at home.

My role is not to take sides or decide who is right or wrong. I will respect each of you as an individual, with your own experiences, thoughts, feelings and values, while helping you to listen to and understand one another.

As a person-centred couples counsellor, I will support you both to explore who you are, how you relate to each other and what may be getting in the way of the relationship you want.

Through this process, you may develop a greater understanding of yourselves and each other, communicate more openly and gain greater clarity about what you both want for the future.

The aim isn't to tell you what you should do. It's to create a safe space where you can explore your relationship honestly and decide what feels right for you, whether that means finding a way forward together or understanding what you need to do next.

Couples counselling may be helpful if you're experiencing:

Frequent arguments or conflict

You don't have to wait until your relationship reaches breaking point to seek support.
