How couples therapy can help
Couples therapy offers a space where both of you can feel heard, understood, and supported.
We slow things down and explore what’s been happening in your relationship, not just the surface issues, but what’s underneath them. Often, the same patterns repeat, leaving both partners feeling frustrated or disconnected.
Together, we work to:
- Improve communication and reduce conflict
- Understand patterns that keep you feeling stuck
- Rebuild trust and emotional connection
- Strengthen your relationship as partners
- Create a clearer way forward
This isn’t about blaming either of you, it’s about understanding each other and finding your way back to connection.
What to expect
In the first sessions, I will get to know you both individually and as a couple, to understand your relationship story and dynamics.
We’ll explore:
- How you communicate
- How you respond during stress or conflict
- What may be getting in the way of connection
- What you hope will change
Together, we set clear goals and begin working towards them at a pace that feels right for you.
Sessions are offered in-person in Cheltenham and online, with flexible appointment times including evenings and weekends.
My approach
My work is trauma-informed and evidence-based, drawing on:
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy
- Psychosexual Therapy (ATSIP trained)
These approaches support trust, communication, intimacy, and emotional connection.
Alongside my private practice, I have extensive experience working with families in complex situations, which informs a grounded, practical approach to relationship work.
Through structured conversations and practical tools, I support couples to move from feeling stuck and disconnected to feeling more understood, connected, and secure.

- Infidelity or trust issues
- Parenting and family stress
- Financial pressure
- Life transitions, illness, or grief
- Pre-marital counselling
