Relationship counselling

Online relationship counselling

Whether you're stuck in the same argument on repeat, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling distant from someone you love, relationships can be some of the hardest work we do. I offer warm, practical online therapy, for individuals and couples, to help you communicate, reconnect and feel understood, wherever you are in the world.

Relationships shape so much of how we feel, and when they're strained, everything else feels harder too. This isn't only about romantic partners. It's family that doesn't understand you, friendships that leave you drained, in-laws, colleagues, or the tricky dance of staying close while staying yourself. Whether you come alone to understand your own patterns or together as a couple, counselling gives these things the space they deserve.

How I help with relationships

As an integrative therapist I'm trained in a broad range of modalities and choose what fits you. For this work I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), communication and boundary work, and mindfulness-based techniques (MBCT). We look at the patterns you keep landing in, the needs underneath the conflict, and practical ways to relate that feel healthier for everyone.

Communicate clearly

Learn to express what you need and hear the other person, without it tipping into blame or shutdown.

Break the conflict cycle

Understand the repeating argument beneath the arguments, and find a calmer way through it together.

Set healthy boundaries

Work out where you end and others begin, and hold limits with warmth rather than guilt or resentment.

Rebuild connection & trust

Repair after hurt, rebuild closeness, and decide together what you both want the relationship to become.

What relationship strain can look like

You might recognise some of these: the same fight on a loop, walking on eggshells, feeling unheard or taken for granted, difficulty saying no, resentment quietly building, drifting apart, or losing yourself in someone else's needs. If any of that sounds familiar, counselling can help, you don't need things to be at breaking point to want them to be better.

Most relationship problems aren't about not caring enough. They're about never having learned the tools to care well, and those tools can be learned.

Sessions that fit your life

All sessions are online or by phone, across time zones, convenient whether you attend on your own or connect with a partner from another location. We start with a free 15-minute consultation and go at your pace, in whichever way feels most comfortable for you.

Relationship counselling FAQs

Either works. Many people come on their own to understand their patterns, communication style and boundaries, and individual work often improves the relationship too. Couples are also welcome to attend together.

Yes. Repeating fights usually aren't about the surface topic, they're about unmet needs and old patterns underneath. Therapy helps you slow the cycle down, hear each other, and find a different way through.

I'm an integrative therapist, so rather than using one fixed method I draw on a broad range of evidence-based modalities and tailor them to you, including CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness-based techniques (MBCT), person-centred, solution-focused, psychodynamic and motivational interviewing.
