You might be longing for a deeper connection in your relationship.
Or maybe you’re noticing repeating patterns.
You might be struggling to rebuild trust.
Or maybe managing conflict feels overwhelming.
You might be trying to make sense of an affair and wondering whether your relationship can survive.
Or maybe you’re navigating a life transition that’s putting pressure on your relationship.
You might be finding it hard to negotiate differing needs and preferences.
Or maybe you’re unsure how to move forward together.
Couples therapy can help.
And often, what you get out of it is closely linked to the effort and willingness you both bring.
It also asks something that can feel challenging: a different way of relating, where understanding each other and creating emotional safety becomes more important than anything else.
What often follows is a shift in the relationship itself.
Not because either of you has changed who you are,
but because something begins to change in the space between you.
The focus moves away from trying to fix/change each other,
towards awareness, emotional safety and spontaneity.
I draw on Transactional Analysis and Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my work with couples, as they provide a strong and well-established framework for understanding relationships.
I offer two ways of working with couples. You can choose the option that feels most helpful for where you are in your relationship.
Ongoing Couples Therapy
A space to explore and work through your relationship issues over weekly or fortnightly sessions.
We can work on a short-term basis (6-12 sessions) or longer term.
Sessions are 60 minutes (the first session is 90 minutes).
Fee: £80 per session (the first session is £120)
This option may be helpful if you:
Want ongoing support to work through various issues
Would like to change repeating patterns or conflict that feels hard to shift
Wish to build understanding, connection and trust over time
Are ready to engage in the therapeutic process.
Couples Assessment & Feedback Session
A structured, two-part process to help you gain a clearer understanding of your relationship and consider possible next steps.
Session 1: Assessment (90 minutes)
We explore your relationship history, current challenges, and the patterns between you.
Session 2: Feedback and Next Steps (90 minutes)
We build a shared understanding of your relationship and focus on practical tools and different ways of relating to support change.
Fee: £240 for both sessions
Couples Assessment & Feedback Session may be helpful if you:
Want a clearer understanding of what is happening in your relationship and possible next steps
Would like a structured, reflective starting point before committing to ongoing therapy.
Following the Couples Assessment & Feedback Session, couples may choose to continue with ongoing couples therapy, either in the short or longer term. Others may return for further review sessions. While some find that the insight gained is enough to support some change on its own, deeper and more lasting change in a relationship typically takes time and ongoing work.
How Does the Couples Therapy Process Work?
Our first session lasts 90 minutes. This allows us to explore your relationship, including its history, and your individual viewpoints. Subsequent sessions last 60 minutes and offer ongoing support as you build new skills and develop insights.
In our work, we will build a detailed picture of your relationship, review your strengths alongside areas that feel challenging. Together, we will collaboratively decide how to move forward, what to focus on, and discuss your therapy goals (which we will revisit from time to time).
My aim is to facilitate sessions in a way that feels safe and supportive for you both, so you can explore and experiment with new ways of relating to each other. As soon as it feels appropriate, my role will become less central; allowing what you practise in our sessions to take root in your everyday life.
If you’re ready to take the next step, feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange an initial call.
