Couples Counselling
Find your way back to each other.
Relationships can be deeply fulfilling but also bring challenges. Whether you're struggling with communication, working through trust concerns, or simply wanting to strengthen your connection, couples counselling provides a supportive space to navigate these difficulties together.
​
I offer a warm, non-judgmental environment where both partners feel heard and understood. Using evidence-based approaches, including attachment theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and insights from Gottman Method training (Level 2), I help couples build stronger, healthier relationships. Our work together may involve exploring relationship dynamics, identifying unhelpful patterns, and developing practical strategies to foster trust, connection, and effective communication.
What You Can Expect In Couples Counselling
Couples counselling sessions provide a structured yet flexible environment where both partners have the opportunity to share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Sessions often begin with understanding your relationship history and key challenges, followed by identifying patterns that may be contributing to distress. From there, we work collaboratively to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and develop strategies for a more fulfilling relationship. Each session is designed to be supportive and productive, helping both individuals feel validated and heard while working towards shared goals.
