Relationships
Counselling
Standard fee: £70
Who Can I Help?
Relationships counselling is for all partnerships, regardless of background, ethnicity, gender identity, or belief system. It provides a safe and inclusive space where individuals in any kind of relationship—romantic (monogamous/polyamorous/open/etc), familial, friendship-based, business partnership or otherwise—can address their unique challenges and goals. Everyone deserves the opportunity to nurture healthier, more fulfilling connections, no matter their circumstances or experiences.
Relationships can bring immense joy, but they can also face challenges that test connection, trust, and communication. Whether you're navigating conflicts, coping with changes, or seeking to strengthen your bond, relationship counselling provides a safe, supportive space to explore and address these issues together. It’s about fostering understanding, rebuilding trust, and finding new ways to connect and thrive as partners.

How do we begin?
1. Free 15-min Phonecall
Your free 15-minute introductory call, easily scheduled via email, allows us to get acquainted and discuss your needs. This will be offered to each partner individually. You can then choose to book a first session or get in touch when you're ready.
I will send all partners a client information form to complete and a counselling agreement to read and sign before our initial session. That first session provides an opportunity to determine if we're a good fit for each other. It also allows you to share your background, ask questions, and set the stage for our therapeutic journey together.
3. Onward Regular Therapy
We will then have regular therapy sessions. We will regularly review therapy progress, empowering us to work collaboratively towards achieving the goals we've established together.
Integrative Approach
I work in an integrative way and adapt my therapeutic approach to provide the kind of therapy that works best for you. I provide an empathic, non-judgemental and genuine space that facilitates self-exploration, growth and healing. I work closely together with my clients to provide a warm, confidential and safe space.
I draw my practice from many different theories including attachment theory and the person-centred approach.
Availability
I am currently open to taking on new clients. I work Monday to Thursday. I have very flexible working hours. I can offer daytime, early morning and late evening sessions, to better suit your schedules.
Please get in touch to discuss your availability.
Payments
Standard fees:
-
£70 for 50-minute sessions
-
Payments through bank transfer before each session.
Please reach out if you would like a reduced rate for your sessions, I am happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.
Languages
I provide sessions in English or French.
(Due to insurance coverage, I can accept UK and international residents except anyone living in the USA.)
All sessions are currently held online on GoogleMeet.
This allows for partners not living in the same location to still access relationships therapy. You can decide to use one or multiple devices, depending on what feels most comfortable for you.
Please note:
Where a third party is paying for your session(s), I require them to sign a third-party payment contract. This confirms that while they are paying for the sessions, the sessions are completely confidential and they are not entitled to any information about you or your support.
