Couples & Relationship Counselling
Couples Counselling in a safe, comfortable and private setting
Working with couples is an incredibly rewarding part of my role. Unlike my work with individuals, I get the opportunity to see both sides of the power struggle. Witnessing the relationship dynamics playing out in the counselling room has shown me that very rarely is it one persons 'fault'. The behaviour from both sides has an impact on the relationship - negatively and positively and therefore both sides have responsibility.
The breakdown of communication and connection results in couples becoming stuck, unaware in a 'power struggle', where neither side feels heard or understood.
My role is to help provide you with a framework to enable safe, honest and open communication. I will help you explore ways to reconnect with each other and together re-visualise the relationship you both desire.
What Issues Can Couples Counselling Help With?
Many different relationship issues can be successfully tackled with talking therapy, including:
- Couples counselling
- Sexuality/intimacy
- Emotional intimacy
- Infidelity
- Bereavement and loss
- Domestic violence
- Bullying
- Anger management
- Abuse
- Trauma
Gestalt Therapy & Imago Relationship Therapy
As a counsellor, I specialise in Humanistic Gestalt therapy, which concentrates on the immediate present and how your past affects you and influences your emotions now, rather than how you felt at that time. I also use Imago Relationship Therapy which helps set up a safe framework for dialogue in the counselling room and at home.
If you are having difficulties in any area of life and feel as though you need some support, get in touch with me today to see how I may be able to help.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. 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.
