Therapy For Couples
“Successful couples need more than better communication—they need clarity, trust, and long-term solutions. I help you rebuild connection, navigate conflict, and create a relationship that truly works”
Our relationships mirror the inner work we’ve yet to do, shaping our well-being. Therapy helps you build a strong, fun, and deeply connected partnership rooted in trust, passion, and spiritual alignment.
How I Can Support You in Couples Therapy
I am deeply passionate about understanding relationships and have dedicated years to helping individuals and couples build healthy, fulfilling connections. Relationships often trigger our deepest fears, but they also hold the key to growth, healing, and deeper intimacy. My mission is to help you identify how past attachment patterns shape your present insecurities—and guide you toward breaking free from them for good.
-
Strong relationships require effective communication and the ability to navigate conflict without breaking connection. I help couples and individuals develop:
✔ Clear, confident communication skills to express needs and emotions effectively
✔ Conflict resolution strategies that prevent recurring arguments and resentment
✔ Emotional intelligence tools to handle disagreements with understanding, not reactivity
💡 Why This Matters: Many high-performing professionals struggle to balance work demands with emotional connection, leading to miscommunication and frustration in their relationships. Learning to communicate with clarity and emotional attunement is key to sustaining love and respect.
-
Betrayal can shake the foundation of any relationship, but healing is possible with the right guidance. Whether you’re rebuilding after infidelity or navigating long-standing trust issues, I provide:
✔ Betrayal recovery therapy—helping couples rebuild trust and re-establish safety
✔ Self-trust work for individuals struggling with insecurity, jealousy, or abandonment wounds
✔ Tools for honest, vulnerable communication to prevent cycles of secrecy and avoidance
💡 Why This Matters: Trust issues don’t just affect romantic relationships—they impact self-worth, friendships, and even professional dynamics. Learning to repair and rebuild trust leads to deeper, more fulfilling connections.
-
For many couples, intimacy fades under the weight of life’s responsibilities. I work with individuals and couples to:
✔ Reignite emotional and physical intimacy—even in long-term relationships
✔ Address barriers to connection such as stress, resentment, or body image struggles
✔ Explore the emotional roots of intimacy issues, creating deeper passion and closeness
💡 Why This Matters: Many high-achieving professionals struggle to be fully present in their relationships, impacting emotional and physical intimacy. Learning to prioritise connection and vulnerability can transform your relationships.
-
Navigating relationships as a queer or lesbian couple comes with its own unique emotional landscapes and societal pressures. My work is rooted in:
✔ Affirming, inclusive support for those navigating relationships, identity, and self-acceptance
✔ Guidance on overcoming external and internalised stressors that impact queer relationships
✔ Couples therapy tailored for LGBTQ+ dynamics, ensuring both partners feel heard and valued
💡 Why This Matters: Many therapy spaces still lack true inclusivity for LGBTQ+ couples, leading to misunderstandings and unhelpful advice. This space is for deep, transformational relationship work without judgment or outdated frameworks.
-
Parenting is more than just raising children—it’s about breaking generational patterns and leading with emotional intelligence. I help parents and blended families:
✔ Heal their own inner child wounds to prevent passing down unresolved patterns
✔ Navigate complex family dynamics, including co-parenting, blended families, and same-sex parenting
✔ Develop emotionally secure children through intentional communication and boundaries
💡 Why This Matters: High-stress environments and complex family structures can create emotional disconnect. When parents do their own inner work, they create healthier, more emotionally attuned relationships with their children

Couples therapy typically involves weekly or biweekly sessions. I will help identify the issues causing problems in the relationship and develop strategies for resolving them. Homework tasks and reflective exercises are usually set, and I may provide psycho-educational resources and suggestions on relevant topics to enhance the relationship.
-
Well, I thought you’d never ask! I’m an integrative couples therapist and coach. So all that means is lots of what I do stems from finding out how and why your past environments have shaped your relationship and what needs to change in the present to allow the desired future you both envisage. I’m solution-focused and can include a directive approach to reaching your goals (where the coaching bit comes in handy!) Technically, your relationship is my client, which sounds strange but handy, as it leaves me very impartial. I utilise mindfulness, somatic practices (a fancy word for connecting to your body), and, most importantly, a humanistic approach to guide you both to feel clearer, empowered, and connected at the bare minimum!
-
The length of couples therapy varies depending on the couple's needs and goals. Some couples may only need 6 weekly sessions, with the aim of doing drop-ins. While others may need longer-term therapy, I like to keep the process structured, so regular interval reviews are part of my service.
-
I ask to see each partner individually before we begin; usually, 1-2 sessions is enough; the key reasons for this:
To Gain Deeper Insight into Individual Perspectives - Seeing each partner separately allows me to understand better personal experiences, emotions, and concerns that may not surface during joint sessions. So I can build a more comprehensive view of the relationship and the individual factors contributing to issues.
To Address Personal Issues Affecting the Relationship - I want to help identify personal struggles—such as mental health concerns, past trauma, or unresolved emotional issues—that may be affecting the relationship. It can help to feel unfiltered without the complexity of your partner's presence, which can sometimes inhibit honest sharing.
To Provide a Safe Space for Sensitive Topics - Partners may feel uncomfortable or hesitant to discuss specific issues—such as resentment, feelings of guilt, or sensitive past events—in front of the other. Individual sessions provide a safer environment for sharing these concerns, which can be addressed more effectively in joint sessions.
To Assess Power Imbalances or Abuse - As difficult as it is to address, I sometimes see power imbalances, controlling, or abusive behaviours; the individual sessions can help reveal these dynamics in a safer, private setting. This is especially crucial in cases where one partner may feel intimidated or unable to speak freely in joint sessions or when one isn’t aware of their toxic traits.
To Build Trust with Each Partner - It helps strengthen the therapeutic relationship between me and each of you. Creating a sense of trust and openness.
To Respect Privacy Boundaries - Fostering open communication: I’m not a gatekeeper for secrets! If it affects the other person, honesty is the best policy!
