Relationship counselling

Would you like to explore your relationship with yourself & others? Are you  experiencing relationship problems and struggling to communicate effectively? Are you feeling disconnected and unsatisfied in yourself or in your relationship but feel stuck  ?

Sitting alongside you I offer a space to explore your communication styles and the unique challenges that being in a relationship you may often face.

I aim to meet you where you are in your relationship whilst navigating your uniqueness as an individual and exploring how you bring parts of yourself into your couple relationship.
