About Talking through therapy

Couples Counselling

Relationships can be deeply rewarding, but they can also bring challenges that feel overwhelming or difficult to navigate alone. Couples counselling offers a safe, neutral space for both partners to express their thoughts and feelings, understand each other more clearly, and work through conflict with support.

Whether you're struggling with communication, trust, emotional distance, or ongoing patterns that keep repeating, couples counselling can help you:

• Improve communication and active listening
   
• Rebuild connection and emotional intimacy
   
• Understand each other's needs and perspectives
   
• Navigate conflict in healthier, more respectful ways
   
• Explore difficult topics in a supportive and non-judgemental environment

How I Work

I offer a range of counselling services tailored to your needs and preferences.

For individual counselling, you can choose from:

• Face-to-face sessions in a safe, confidential space, allowing time to prepare and process.
   
• Telephone counselling  for those who prefer voice-only conversations, to create your own familiar surroundings.
   
• Zoom sessions offering flexibility and access from the comfort of your own space. The benefits from seeing each other helps build a therapeutic relationship.

I currently offer sessions online via Zoom, making it easier for both partners to attend from wherever they are.

 No matter the format or approach, my aim is the same: to offer a supportive, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. 

 Working Together 

In my work I use an integrative counselling approach. This means I draw on different therapeutic models to create a way of working that best supports you as an individual.

Depending on what you bring to counselling, I may draw from approaches such as:

• Person-centred therapy  offering empathy, acceptance, and a non-judgemental space to explore your feelings
   
• Psychodynamic therapy  helping to understand how past experiences may be influencing your present. Patterns and values and childhood beliefs which may not be useful now. 

• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)  offering practical tools to manage unhelpful thoughts, anxiety, and stress
   
• Gestalt therapy  supporting awareness of the present moment and how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours connect in the here and now
   
• Transactional analysis and inner child work  encouraging self-awareness, healing, and personal growth
