Couples & Relationship Therapy

Every relationship goes through difficult periods. The pressures of daily life, unresolved conflicts, changing needs, and life events can all take their toll on even the strongest partnerships. If you and your partner are struggling, that doesn't mean your relationship is broken. It means you're human.

Couples therapy gives you a safe, structured space to work through the things that have become difficult to talk about on your own. I help you understand each other better, communicate more honestly, and find practical ways to rebuild closeness and trust.

What brings couples to therapy

There is no single reason people seek relationship support. You might recognise one or several of these:

Communication breakdown — conversations that turn into arguments, or silence that has replaced real connection
Infidelity and trust — recovering from an affair, rebuilding trust, or addressing dishonesty
Growing apart — feeling more like flatmates than partners, losing the sense of being a team
Conflict patterns — the same arguments repeating without resolution, criticism or defensiveness that has become habitual
Intimacy problems — mismatched desire, physical disconnection, or difficulties with sexual closeness
Life transitions — the arrival of children, career changes, retirement, bereavement, or health challenges that shift the dynamic between you

Whatever has brought you here, the fact that you are looking for support is a positive sign. It means you care enough about your relationship to invest in it.

How I work with couples

My priority is making sure both partners feel heard. That means creating a space where each of you can speak honestly, without fear of judgement or blame. I am not there to take sides or to tell you who is right. I am there to help you understand each other.

My approach is practical and skills-based. As well as exploring the patterns that are causing difficulty, I give you concrete tools you can use between sessions — communication techniques, ways of managing conflict, and exercises to help you reconnect emotionally and physically.

What to expect

An initial session where I get to know both of you and understand your concerns
A safe, balanced environment where both partners have equal space to talk
Practical homework between sessions to put what you have learned into practice
A typical course of 8 to 16 sessions, depending on your situation and goals
Regular check-ins to make sure therapy is working for both of you

Sessions can be held in person at my Epsom, City of London, or West End consulting rooms, or online via video call.

Individual relationship therapy

You do not need your partner to attend for therapy to be effective. Many people come to me on their own to work on their relationship patterns, whether they are in a partnership or not.

Individual relationship therapy can help you understand how you show up in relationships, what triggers your emotional responses, and how to break patterns that may be holding you back. If your partner is unwilling or unable to attend, that does not mean you cannot make meaningful changes.

Working on your own can be a powerful way to shift the dynamic in your relationship — and the skills you build will benefit every close relationship in your life.
