Couples Therapy
Every relationship goes through moments of difficulty. Feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or caught in the same painful arguments can leave couples feeling lonely, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, especially when both partners care deeply about the relationship.
Couples therapy offers a supportive space to slow things down and make sense of what is happening between you. Rather than focusing on blame, the work is about understanding the patterns that pull you apart, strengthening emotional safety, and finding new ways of reaching one another with clarity and care. With support, it is possible to rebuild trust, restore intimacy, and reconnect in ways that feel meaningful and secure.
I specialise in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based, attachment-focused approach that helps couples recognise and shift unhelpful cycles, deepen emotional understanding, and develop more responsive ways of communicating. Whether you are navigating ongoing conflict, recovering from a rupture, or simply wanting to strengthen your connection, EFT offers a framework for change that is both structured and compassionate.
I work with couples of all backgrounds, identities, and relationship styles. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive of gender, sexual, and relational diversity.

What to expect of EFT relationship therapy
The first few sessions are joint sessions dedicated to exploring your relationship background and understanding current difficulties in the relationship.
The following step is an individual session with each partner, aimed at exploring each individual's family history and significant life events. This helps me make sense of each partner's attachment.
After individual sessions, we will resume joint couples sessions where we will start identifying the negative cycles that occur in the relationship. Together, we will work towards changing negative patterns of interaction and emotional responses, with the goal of re-establishing emotional intimacy and connection in the relationship.
Couples sessions are 51-minutes per session, and generally lasts between 12 to 20 sessions for couples with mild to medium relationship distress. However, the duration of treatment can be longer depending on the presenting issue.
“The most functional way to regulate difficult emotions in love relationships is to share them.”
