Navigating the Space Between You
If you are looking for couples counselling in the UK, you may be feeling stuck, disconnected, or caught in repeating arguments that never fully resolve.
I offer relationship counselling for couples who want to:
Sessions are 75 minutes and available indoors, online, or outdoors (walk-and-talk therapy).
My Approach
Transactional Analysis for Couples
My work is grounded in Transactional Analysis — a practical and insightful form of psychotherapy that helps couples understand their communication patterns and relational “scripts.”
In sessions, we explore:
- How you speak to each other (your transactions)
- Reactive cycles that escalate conflict
- Unconscious roles such as Parent, Adult, and Child
- How early experiences shape present dynamics
This approach helps you move from reactive exchanges to more grounded, Adult-to-Adult communication.
My work is also ecological and co-creative — meaning we consider the wider systems influencing your relationship (family, work, culture, environment), and we shape the therapy together based on your goals.
Taking the First Step Together
Committing to marriage or relationship counselling is a meaningful investment in your shared future.
I offer a free 30-minute consultation (online or in-person) with both partners together.
This gives you space to:
- Explain what brings you to couples therapy
- Ask questions about my approach
- Ensure the space feels balanced and safe
- Decide whether I am the right couples therapist for you
There is no obligation — simply an opportunity to explore.
Couples Therapy FAQ
What happens in the first session?
In our first 75-minute couples therapy session, we will:
- Explore what brings you to relationship counselling
- Clarify what each partner hopes will change
- Begin identifying recurring patterns
- Agree how we will work together
The aim is understanding — not blame.
How many sessions will we need?
Some couples find clarity within 6–8 sessions. Others choose longer-term therapy to address deeper, long-standing relational patterns.
We review progress regularly to ensure the work remains useful and appropriately paced.
What if my partner is reluctant to attend?
It is common for one partner to feel unsure about couples counselling.
In this work, the client is the relationship — not one individual.
The free consultation allows both of you to experience a balanced, non-judgemental space before committing to ongoing sessions.
Do you see us individually as well?
To maintain a clear and safe therapeutic container, I generally work with you together in couples therapy.
If individual therapy is needed, I can discuss referring you to a separate therapist to maintain professional boundaries.
What if we have already decided to separate?
Couples therapy is not always about staying together.
It can also support:
- Conscious uncoupling
- Respectful separation
- Co-parenting conversations
- Processing grief
Parting well can be just as important as staying together.
