Questions you might have

What if only one of us wants to come?
That’s more common than you’d think and it’s still worth getting in touch. We can talk about whether individual relationship work, or a gentle invitation for your partner to join, makes more sense as a starting point.
No. My role is to support the relationship and both of you within it. That means challenging both partners with care, and making sure each of you feels genuinely heard.
Not at all. Many couples come for preventative work; to deepen connection, navigate a transition (a new baby, a move, retirement), or simply to communicate better. Earlier is often easier.
Therapy can still help to separate well, to co-parent constructively, or to gain clarity if you’re not yet sure. There’s no agenda from me about whether you stay together or part.

Most couples benefit from at least 8–12 sessions, though this varies widely. We’ll review progress together regularly so it always feels worthwhile.

Yes, sessions are available in person and securely online, which is especially helpful for busy couples or those with childcare to juggle. Please note that confidentiality is always my number 1 priority, whether in person or online.

Yes. Everything shared in sessions is confidential, in line with professional ethical guidelines. If we ever do individual check-ins, I’ll be clear with both of you about how that information is handled.
