My Process

Your Couples Therapist & Guide to Connection

As your couples therapist, I provide a safe space where you can express yourself without fear of fighting or being unheard. My role isn’t to give advice but to guide you in new ways of listening, speaking, and resolving even difficult conversations peacefully while embracing differences.

With both lived and professional experience, I bring insight into relationship dynamics that couples often don’t realise. Miscommunication and misunderstanding are the most common reasons for breakups, and in my sessions, couples frequently discover surprising new perspectives about their partner and themselves.

Exploring the Path to a Stronger Relationship

Whether you’ve been in a relationship for years or are just starting out, certain recurring issues or negative feelings might be holding you back. You may be planning for children, marriage, or other major life decisions, but these discussions seem to end in conflict.

Perhaps you’re already parents, facing disagreements on parenting, in-laws, or where to live, feeling like you’re not on the same page. You might even be attending alone, looking to explore your feelings independently and gain clarity about your relationship.

No matter your situation, you’ll be listened to, valued, and respected. Together, we will explore the concerns that brought you to counselling and determine the best approach for your unique needscollaboratively agree on the focus and frequency of sessions to suit your circumstances; and work on actionable steps between sessions, because real change happens when you approach things differently in everyday life.

In my sessions, there’s no blame or arguing—only clarity, understanding, and productive communication. You’ll leave with new ways of listening, speaking, and tackling challenges as a team.
