Couples counselling in Kingston Upon Thames, London and Leeds, helping you both to achieve a more rewarding relationship and make better sense of life, love and living.

Hello Couples

Whether you’re looking for couples therapy, marriage counselling, or relationship counselling, I provide a safe, supportive and impartial space where you can work through the challenges in your relationship together.

What is couples counselling?

couples counselling and couples therapy is about a space and time dedicated to your relationship. It is about helping you both to work together to make it as loving and fulfilling as it can be. No sides are taken and neutrality is maintained, which enables us to explore, understand and identify the aspects of your relationship that is causing you concern, hurt and anger. Compared to the positive aspects of the love, support and the ways in which your relationship is working.

Is couples counselling right for you?

Couples therapy and couples counselling is right for you if you are looking for a safe and non judgemental space to explore what is going on in your relationship and what you want from it. Whether that is to work on remaining a couple and improving the relationship or separating, the choice will ultimately always belong to you the couple.

How couples counselling can help

Couples counselling helps you both recognise your patterns of conflicts, misunderstandings and why resolving difficulties can be difficult. Sometimes identifying how for each member of the couple history and culture are playing out unhelpfully in your relationship informing beliefs, values and expectations that create misunderstandings, disconnection and distance. This helps couples in therapy to for example better understand each other and what is going on their relationship, as well as improve communication and connection.

What to expect

To get the most out of your relationship counselling sessions you would attend weekly, whether we meet online or in person, your couples counselling appointments will be a safe, confidential and nonjudgemental space. I bring many years of training and experience working with different types of couples (see below), to ensure you are both heard and supported in what you want for your relationship.

From point of your enquiry, I will work with you both to arrange the practical elements of your regular appointments whether your couples work is short term (6 to 12 weeks), or long term (6 months to open ended).The length of time you may need will depend on many factors including where your relationship is now and where you would (both) like it to be. Plus how deep-rooted or long-standing any issues are. This would be discussed to form a shared understanding of both of your needs.
