• What is it

    • Couple Counselling and Couple Psychotherapy aim to help the partners understand their dysfunctional pattern(s), reduce conflict, and rebuild connection.

    Who it’s for

    • repeating conflict / shutdown

    • trust injuries / resentment

    • communication breakdown

    • intimacy disconnection

    • “same argument, different day”.

    How I work with couples

    • focus on the relationship dynamic

    • identify cycles + triggers

    • slow down escalation

    • increase emotional safety + repair

    • practical between-session experiments (optional).

    When individual work is needed

    • If significant trauma activation is present, we’ll discuss whether a few individual stabilisation sessions are helpful alongside couples work.
