Couples Counselling

I am passionate about helping couples improve their communication.

With better communication comes the chance of deeper understanding, connection and intimacy.

Sadly, most of us don’t learn how to talk about what’s happening for us, so when we experience difficulties, differences or disappointments in our relationship we don’t have ready access the tools or habits we need to repair our relationship. Sometimes, we are in stuck in such bad communication habits we make difficulties worse with blaming, judging or hurtful language or behaviour.

It is possible to learn how to communicate thoughts and feelings openly, listen actively when your partner is talking and ask for what you want and don’t want in your relationship.

I take a decisive and practical approach which includes communication exercises and homework.

I will treat both of you and your histories with respect and won’t hesitate to (gently) point out any behaviours that run counter to your stated goals.

In addition to my psychotherapy training, I completed an intensive one year group  PAIRS  relationship training with my partner, as well as a 12-month Couples Training Program with couples psychotherapists Terry Cooper and Jenner Roth at Spectrum.

Additionally, I have undergone  Terry Real's Relational Life Training for Therapists working with couples.

I welcome individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+.
