Couples counselling
A calm space to slow things down and reconnect
You may be considering couples counselling because something in your relationship feels difficult or unsettled. Perhaps communication feels harder than it used to, there’s a sense of distance, or familiar patterns keep repeating despite your best efforts to change them.
I offer online couples counselling for couples in Bicester, Oxfordshire and across the UK, providing a calm, confidential space to slow things down and begin to make sense of what’s been happening between you.
When things start to feel stuck
When relationships feel strained, it’s rarely because one person is doing something wrong. More often, couples find themselves caught in patterns of responding to stress, fear, or disconnection — patterns that once helped, but now leave both people feeling unheard or stuck.
You might notice the same arguments repeating, difficulty repairing things after conflict, or a sense that you’re talking around each other rather than really connecting.
Couples counselling offers space to gently understand these patterns together, without blame or judgement.
How I work with couples
My work begins with creating safety and trust. Rather than rushing towards solutions, we take time to slow conversations down and explore what’s been shaping the dynamic between you.
Sessions offer space for both of you to be heard and understood. I help you notice what’s happening beneath the surface, support clearer communication, and work towards a steadier, more connected way of relating — at a pace that feels manageable for you.
This work isn’t about fixing either of you. It’s about creating the right conditions for understanding and change to develop naturally.
Is couples counselling right for us?
Many couples hesitate before reaching out. You may be wondering whether things are “serious enough”, whether counselling will make things worse, or whether it’s too late — or too early.
These questions are a natural part of caring about your relationship.
You don’t need to arrive with a clear plan or the right words. We can take things one step at a time, working carefully with what feels most important to you both.
The next step
If you’re considering couples counselling, I offer a brief introductory call. This gives you the opportunity to talk a little about what’s been going on, ask any questions you may have, and get a sense of whether working together feels right for you.
