Why Couples Counselling?

Maybe you're in a relationship that has been good, but now things have changed and you are experiencing problems or feel in crisis. Maybe you don't want to give up on the relationship but you can't see the wood for the trees?  Perhaps you're uncertain about going your separate ways.

I offer couples counselling to help you gain perspective and clarity on difficult issues that may feel overwhelming or gridlocked, so you can move forward in your life.

Couples come for different reasons, such as to make a difficult decision, to give the relationship a chance and work through issues, or to get support in realising you want to go your separate ways.   Whatever your reasons, I am very respectful of your needs.

I come from a belief that relationships hold much potential for personal growth and mutual fulfilment.  In helping couples understand deeper underlying issues behind relationship problems and taking steps to relate differently, I believe a deeper connection and love between couples is possible.

How long do we need to come for?

This depends on where you are in your relationship now and where you would like to get to. 
I offer short term couples counselling for between 6-8 weeks of ongoing weekly sessions at £80 per session. You are also welcome to come for longer term counselling to go further and to deepen the process.
