Couples & Relationship Counselling
Rebuild Trust, Improve Communication and Deepen Connection
Are you feeling distant from your partner, caught in repeating patterns, or longing for more emotional closeness, understanding, and connection?
Relationships can be one of life’s deepest sources of joy and sometimes one of its greatest sources of pain. When communication breaks down, intimacy fades, or unresolved wounds resurface, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward together.
You may be:
- feeling unheard, misunderstood, or disconnected
- stuck in the same arguments or reactive cycles again and again
- navigating betrayal or broken trust
- struggling with intimacy, sexuality, or mismatched needs
- adapting to major life transitions that affect the relationship
- longing to feel close, supported, and connected again
When these challenges arise, even strong relationships can feel strained. Couples and relationship counselling offers a supportive, grounded, and confidential space to gently explore what’s happening beneath the surface and move forward with greater clarity, compassion, and understanding.
I welcome diverse identities, sexual expressions, and relational styles, including LGBTQIA+ couples, polyamorous relationships, and kink-aware dynamics. I strive to offer therapeutic care that is inclusive, culturally sensitive, and grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience.
Approach
I offer a calm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you and your partner can feel heard, respected, and supported throughout your relational process.
Together, we explore the patterns, responses, and dynamics that influence your relationship, including:
- Unresolved relational wounds, the impacts of trauma, and broken trust
- Conflict patterns, communication breakdowns, and resentment
- Intimacy challenges, emotional distance or differences in desire
- Attachment styles, nervous-system responses, and unmet relational needs
My approach is client-centred, collaborative, and responsive to the unique needs of your relationship. I draw from lived experience and a range of therapeutic and relational modalities, including:
- The Gottman Method
- Attachment theory
- Somatic therapy and co-regulation skills
- Authentic Relating and effective communication tools
- Parts Work / IFS-informed relational processes
- Conflict resolution & repair strategies
- Mindfulness and Tantra-informed relational practices
- Nervous-system regulation & Polyvagal principles
- Relational skill-building and connection practices
How my background supports this work
I have been working in the relational field since 2014 and offering couples coaching since 2017, supporting people in strengthening communication, deepening intimacy, and building meaningful connection. These years of experience have given me a grounded understanding of the complexities of love, intimacy, and partnership.
In addition to my counselling training, I have been facilitating Tantra, conscious relating, and relational workshops for over 20 years. This background strengthens my ability to support emotional attunement, embodied connection, and deeper relational awareness.
Any Tantra-informed or sexuality-related psycho-education I offer is always provided within a professional, ethical, and strictly non-touch therapeutic framework.
