Counselling
Relationships can become stuck in patterns that are difficult to break, even when both people care deeply about each other. Arguments can become repetitive, communication can become harder, and it can feel like you are no longer on the same team. Couples counselling provides a space to slow things down, understand what is happening between you, and begin to reconnect.
I offer face-to-face couples counselling from my private therapy space in Wigan, or online through Google Meet. Whether you are struggling with communication, conflict, trust, feeling disconnected, or simply want to strengthen your relationship, counselling can help you explore the patterns within your relationship and understand each other's experiences more fully.
My approach is integrative and grounded in person-centred principles. I believe that both partners deserve to feel heard and understood, while also recognising that meaningful change often requires honesty and openness. I am not there to decide who is right or wrong, and I will not take sides. I am on the side of the relationship.
Together, we will explore the dynamics between you, the ways you each respond when things become difficult, and what may be happening beneath the surface. Sometimes couples become caught in cycles where both people are trying to protect themselves or have their needs understood, but the way they communicate creates more distance. Understanding these patterns can create the opportunity to respond differently.
I will encourage both partners to have a voice in the process. This means creating space to express your own experiences while also developing a deeper understanding of your partner's perspective. The aim is not simply to stop arguments, but to build a stronger foundation of connection, communication and understanding.
Couples sessions last 75 minutes and are charged at £70 per session. I also offer a £5 per session discount when you book and pay for a block of six sessions in advance.
I offer a free 20-minute consultation by telephone or Google Meet to help you decide whether I am the right counsellor for you as a couple. This gives us the opportunity to discuss what has brought you to counselling, answer any questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.
Evening appointments are available to help accommodate busy schedules. If you would like to find out more or arrange your consultation, please get in touch.
