For couples who want to do the work together.

Couples counselling that is calm and non-judgemental, in person in Central Milton Keynes or online across the UK. Whether you're communicating past each other, navigating a breach of trust, or just feeling more like flatmates than partners — this isn't about taking sides. It's about making sure both of you feel heard.

What we work on

The shapes relationship difficulty takes.

No two relationships hit difficulty the same way. Some of the most common things couples bring:

  • Communication that goes around in circles or shuts down completely
  • A breach of trust, infidelity, secrets, broken agreements
  • Loss of intimacy or connection after years together
  • Disagreements about parenting, money, time, in-laws
  • Navigating a separation or wondering if you should
  • Major life transitions: new baby, new role, illness, retirement

Sometimes couples come because something specific has happened. Often it’s a slow build of small things, and that’s just as valid a reason to be in the room.

Getting started

Three steps. No pressure at any of them.

01

Book a free 15-min call

You can do it together or separately — whichever is easier. A relaxed conversation to see if this feels right, with no commitment on either side.

02

We meet for a first session

A 50-minute session for both of you. No agenda, no exercises — just a conversation so I can understand what's brought you here and what you're hoping for.

03

We work at your pace

Usually weekly or fortnightly, 60-minute sessions. We'll check in regularly on what's working. You decide if and when to end.

How I work with couples

Both of you. Neither of you. Some of the time.

Sessions are 60 minutes, with both partners in the room. My job isn’t to decide who’s right, it’s to slow the conversation down enough that you can both actually hear each other.

That usually means:

  • I listen to each of you carefully, separately and together
  • I’ll gently interrupt the dynamics that aren’t working
  • I’ll name patterns you’re stuck in (often news to both of you)
  • I won’t take sides, give ultimatums, or tell you what to do
  • We’ll work at the pace the relationship can hold

All couples are welcome here, regardless of gender, sexuality, or relationship structure.

Occasionally I might suggest a session with just one partner, if it would unlock something for the work together. Always discussed openly, never as a secret.

Fees

Clear, straightforward pricing.

Couples sessions are £75 for 50 minutes. The initial 15-minute consultation is free for both of you. Payment is by bank transfer before each session.

From clients

Words from people who've sat in the room.

Anonymised first names, used with permission.

Common questions

Things couples often want to know first.

The free 15-minute call is for both of you to ask anything. You can do it together or separately, whichever works.

Very common. The free call is a low-stakes way to find out what couples therapy actually is (and isn't). Reluctant partners are welcome, I won't push anyone into anything.

No. That's not my role. The aim is for you both to understand what's going on and what you want, whatever that ends up being. Some couples leave stronger together. Some part well. Both are valid outcomes.

Yes. Many of my couples work entirely online, easier with schedules, no travel. You just need a private space where you won't be interrupted.

Every couple is different. Some find a few sessions helpful for a specific issue, while others prefer longer-term work. We meet weekly or fortnightly depending on your needs.

It depends on the situation and timing. In some cases, individual work running alongside couples sessions can be helpful — but it needs to be set up carefully so both feel the process is fair and transparent. We'd discuss this openly if it came up, never as something happening in the background.

It's worth trying together first.

The free 15-minute call is no commitment, for either of you. A good place to start.
