Every relationship goes through difficult times

Even the strongest relationships can reach a point where communication breaks down, the same arguments keep repeating, or you and your partner feel more like strangers than partners. This doesn't mean your relationship is over — it may mean you've reached a place where talking to someone outside the relationship could help.

Couples counselling offers a structured, safe space to slow down, be heard, and begin to understand each other differently.

 

What brings couples to therapy

 

  • Communication has broken down or every conversation becomes a conflict
  • Trust has been damaged — by infidelity, dishonesty, or repeated disappointments
  • You feel emotionally disconnected or more like housemates than partners
  • One or both of you is going through a significant life change
  • You're facing a specific challenge — parenting, loss, illness, or major decisions
  • You want to strengthen your relationship before problems become entrenched
  • You are considering separation and want to navigate it with care

I work with couples using a relational framework, drawing on Transactional Analysis to help you both understand the patterns and dynamics that have developed between you. This might involve looking at the roles each of you plays, the unspoken contracts and expectations in your relationship, and the early experiences that each of you brings to how you relate.

Sessions last 70 minutes, giving us enough time to work with both of your experiences without feeling rushed.

I see couples face-to-face in Horsham and online across West Sussex and the UK. Fees for couples sessions are £90.
