Couples counselling offers a supportive space to explore relationship difficulties together. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in repeating patterns, or struggling to communicate, couples counselling can help you slow things down and understand what’s happening between you.

If you’re unsure whether couples counselling or individual support would be most helpful, we can explore this together.
Relationships can be hard - you don’t have to navigate this on your own.
”Both of us were apprehensive about couples counselling, but Sam made us feel really welcome and helped us to understand the way each other thinks. We have really grown as a couple and as individuals and this is due to the amazing work that Sam does. We couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you!”
