Couples Counselling

Helping you communicate more openly, navigate challenges, and strengthen your relationship

Book Your First Session

Relationship counselling

I offer counselling in North Wiltshire for couples and relationships of all kinds, at any stage. This may include romantic partners, or a parent and adult child who want to improve their relationship or communication.

My role is to create a safe, balanced, and supportive space where difficult conversations can happen more constructively. I work to ensure that both of you feel heard and are able to hear one another, so that a deeper shared understanding can emerge.

You might come with a specific issue that feels urgent, or with a sense of being stuck in ongoing patterns—perhaps the same arguments, misunderstandings, or ways of relating that don’t seem to shift. Our work will be shaped by what you bring; I don’t follow a fixed formula.

What to expect

Sessions offer a structured but flexible space where each of you has the opportunity to speak and be heard. I may ask questions, reflect what I’m noticing, or invite you to speak directly to one another, with me there to support and guide the conversation.

Where helpful, we might agree small things to try between sessions.

We can explore both:

  • the issues affecting your relationship (such as an affair, family pressures, or life changes), and

  • the patterns between you (how you communicate, how conflict unfolds, and how you reconnect afterwards)

Often, both are important.

Couples counselling is not about “saving” a relationship at all costs. Sometimes the work leads to strengthening and deepening your connection; sometimes it involves finding a respectful and thoughtful way to move forward separately. My aim is to support you in finding the best way forward for both of you.

I usually offer weekly sessions at a regular time, with some flexibility where needed. We can discuss what works best for you in our first meeting.

 FAQs

  • Each session is an hour long. I don’t work to a fixed length of contract; we would do counselling for as long as it feels helpful. You are free to end at any time.

  • I charge £85 for an hour-long session.

  • I work from my garden cabin in Ashton Keynes, SN6. This is 5 minutes from Cricklade, 10 minutes from Cirencester, and 20 minutes from Swindon or Malmesbury.  

    I prefer to see couples in person. I can offer sessions online if this is difficult, but I recommend having at least one meeting in person if possible.

  • I recommend finding childcare while you do counselling, as this enables you to focus fully on your relationship as a couple without the distraction of your child’s needs. However, if that is absolutely impossible, we could trial having a session with a baby present. Once the child is mobile however, I can’t have them in the sessions, for safety reasons.

Taking the first step can feel difficult, especially when things are already under strain.

If you’re considering counselling, you’re very welcome to get in touch. I’ll do my best to make the process feel straightforward and supportive from the outset.
