Shifting from Conflict to Connection

I am an Independent COSRT Specialist Sex and Relationship therapist dedicated to helping partners move past their individual struggles and towards genuine relational connection.

When was the last time you was truly happy in your relationship?

Is your relationship facing significant emotional distress?

Discovery of an affair or betrayal?

Seeking therapy for Intimacy difficulties?

Is porn use become an issue in your relationship?

Based in Chester offering Couples Counselling and Sex therapy exclusively Online, I offer sex-positive, inclusive and goal focused therapy. Whether you are seeking to repair your relationship or build a deeper emotional bond, I provide the tools needed to create lasting change in a Short-Term Therapy.

Understanding Your 'Stuckness'


Feeling stuck: repeating the same arguments over and over again.

Feeling unheard: Not being seen or listened to by your partner.

Parent dynamic: always being the 'pursuer' and feeling like a parent to your partner.

Physical disconnection: Sexual intimacy has changed.

Betrayal: Navigating the pain or an affair or a breach of trust.

Without professional support, these patterns can lead to a total breakdown in communication, problematic behaviours, and deep-seated resentment.

How Can Couples Counselling Help?

Do you feel like the same patterns show up week after week? Perhaps you misunderstood or feel like you are constantly walking on eggshells. This "stuck cycle" can make connection feel like a distant memory.


I offer the specialist clarity needed to break that cycle. By blending Relational life therapy (RLT) the Gottman method, and Imago therapy, I guide you through the vital stages of Harmony to Disharmony and Repair.

In our first consultation, I gather a deep understanding of your unique relationship dynamics and the specifics details of your repeated patterns. From there, I tailor our sessions to help you become aware of how you are 'showing up; for one another, giving you the tools to transform unhealthy habits into relational harmony.

What is Couples Counselling and Relationship Therapy?

Couples therapy is a unique space, quite different from individual therapy. I work with the relationship 'being the third entity' created by the two of you.

My approach is compassionate and lovingly honest. I focus on creating a sense of 'togetherness' rather than allowing you to exist as two individuals living in parallel lives.


How I Work as a Couples Counsellor and Relationship Therapist

Therapy Sessions

Process

My approach is CompassionateLovingly honest, and Relational. Following our initial consultation, I offer an individual session to each partner. This allows me to understand the issues from your unique perspectives.

Sessions

I ask that you are truly honest in our sessions, with myself and with one another. This transparency is what allows the process of therapy to be truly beneficial.

While some communication issues may be resolved in a short period of time, more long-standing or complex issues may need further support to truly heal.

Note on Confidentiality

I maintain a strict confidentiality agreement with each individual that I am working with, either during couple sessions or individual sessions.

It is the responsibility of the couple to share relevant information with each other outside of our sessions if required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if our communication issues feel too big to fix?

Often, couples feel "stuck" because they are using the same old tools for new, complex problems. Therapy introduces a new way of speaking and listening that moves you away from defensiveness and back toward curiosity and understanding.

How do we begin repairing our relationship after trust is broken?

Repairing trust requires a safe, neutral space where the "why" can be explored without the conversation collapsing into further hurt. We focus on honesty and compassion towards creating a new path for your future together.

Can you help with mismatched desire?

Yes. Mismatched desire is one of the most common reasons for seeking support. We look at the emotional and physical barriers to intimacy, helping you both navigate your needs without shame, guilt, or pressure.

How do you help will issues of Problematic porn use?

With having honest conversations around how this is showing up for you, how it was disclosed and creating an understanding around curiosity, boundaries and understanding of the behaviour within the relationship.
