Couples therapy

Relationship counselling for intimate partners

Couples therapy can be of benefit to any intimate relationship

A relationship you both enjoy is absolutely worth the shared effort!

No matter what stage you're at 

Whether you are in your first passionate, intimate relationship as a teenager or have been a long-term married couple needing change, or reigniting lost intimacy, you’re in the right place to get help.

You can discover as much about yourself as you do about your particular relationship dynamics.

Your unique path to a healthy, long-term relationship as a couple is both a challenge and a miracle

Whether you come alone for individual counselling, as a couple, or with your family for relationship counselling, we can have meaningful conversations that benefit your everyday life.
So, if you are If you are overthinking and second guessing, you are unnecessarily struggling.

When couples therapy is helpful

When you stop gaining the intimacy, open communication, trust and strong emotional support that a quality couple relationship brings your mental health is affected. It’s time for one or both of you to get professional help.

When you are ready I am here to support your next steps

Together, we will work on your couple's relationship

How your relationship moves forward will unfold through your courageous discussions. 

In our sessions together, I strive to create a warm and nurturing environment where you both feel heard, respected, and valued.

My part setting the scene

These are the qualities of a trusting, healthy relationship that I endeavor to model:

  • Listening actively
  • Communicating openly
  • Supporting you non-judgmentally
  • Respecting your boundaries
  • Encouraging your strengths
  • Empowering problem-solving

Some principles for our time together

You deserve a unique approach

Because you are two unique individuals with your own couple dynamics, every aspect of our session needs to be tailored to ensure that both of you feel confident that your needs are being taken into account. Even theories and techniques will be used in a flexible way to ensure that you both feel at ease.

Every session is all about you, and your unique relationship!

Trusting the process helps successful sessions

This means embracing open communication and vulnerability with your partner and me. By actively participating, we can collaborate to help us decide ways forward, including what exercises you might do in the session and at home. By showing patience, committing to your own growth, and implementing strategies, you and your partner can build a stronger, more connected relationship.

You both be yourselves

For you to get the most from your sessions you both need to be you.  

If my approach feels right for you, we’ll continue to work that way. If not, your feedback is invaluable to ensure our sessions continue in a way that suits both of you. 

Strengthen your emotional bond and build a deeper connection as a couple through relationship counselling.

We aim to work together

Working together to get a win-win situation is better than compromise. That way, you both feel okay to move forward to the next stage; in session and in your usual shared space. 

When you are ready book a session

Couples therapy (relationship counselling) supports intimate partners to have healthier quality relationships. 

A couple can still benefit with one person committed to change, coming to individual counselling on their own.
