Couples Counselling

Couples Counselling

Most couples who come to counselling have tried. The same argument keeps finding them. Different words, same place. Something is happening beneath the surface of how you relate to each other. Couples counselling brings to the surface what that is, and what becomes possible when you do.

How Does Couple Counselling Approach Relationship Challenges?

I don’t take sides. And I am not here to decide who is right or assign blame. I am here to facilitate you both slowing down long enough to see what is actually happening between you. That awareness is where change begins. As you start to understand what is driving your difficulties, not only what is happening, but why, new ways of relating start to become possible.

I hold what you bring with care and without judgment. I ask only that you come with some willingness to look at each other and at yourselves.

How We Begin

Here is what you can expect in the early stages of working together.

01

Initial Consultation

Before we meet, I speak with each of you individually for 15–20 minutes. Not to form a view, but to hear what you each would like from counselling.

02

Getting Started

Before the first session, I will send a counselling agreement and a short questionnaire for each of you to complete. It helps me understand your relationship before we meet in session.

03

First Session

Our first session is a space for us to meet and begin exploring what has brought you here. And we will get a sense of whether this feels like the right fit for both of you.

How the Process of Counselling Unfolds

After your first session, we will meet weekly to begin with. We will work through the patterns that have brought you here and gradually shift how you relate to each other. Sometimes I will suggest an individual session along the way. This is not about separating the work, but about supporting the relationship more fully on both sides. There is no fixed timeline. Some couples come for a shorter period to work through a specific issue. Others stay longer and go deeper. 

Over time, most couples find that something shifts not only in how they talk to each other, but in how they hear each other. Old patterns start to loosen. Trust becomes possible again. Differences that once led to conflict start to feel more natural. That’s not a guarantee. But that is what couples work is for.

If Your Partner Is Not Ready

If your partner is not ready to come yet, that does not mean you are stuck. Individual counselling can help you understand the patterns in your relationship, recognise how you respond, and begin to shift what you can from your side. Even small shifts in one person can change everything between two.

If you feel ready to begin, you are welcome to start your own counselling journey here.
