About me

Psychotherapist | Couples Therapist | Sandbach (CW11), Cheshire, Manchester and Online

Hi, I'm Lavinia. If you and your partner keep having the same argument, feel disconnected, or find yourselves walking on eggshells - you're not alone, and things can change.

I specialise in couples therapy, helping partners improve communication, work through recurring conflict, rebuild trust and feel closer again.

I also offer individual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, burnout and life transitions.

I can help with: anxiety and overwhelm, self-criticism, life transitions, stress, family and in-law boundaries, communication, trust ruptures, intimacy, and repair after conflict.

My approach is warm, honest and practical: we'll make sense of what's going on between you, and build small, realistic steps that help your relationship feel easier, closer and more like you again.

I use evidence-informed tools and techniques without the jargon. Sessions are real conversations with direction: we'll agree on goals together, explore what's working and adapt our approach to your needs.

I work with couples and individuals navigating: recurring arguments and communication breakdowns · trust and repair after conflict · intimacy and emotional disconnection · anxiety creeping into the relationship · reconnecting after a rough patch.
