Couples Counselling

Helping couples to find a way back to each other

A lot of couples counselling can end with two people berating each other to a therapist both feeling desperate to have their perspective and frustrations understood. Here at HCH I will use a dialogue technique to encourage conversation without argument where both people can feel understood and validated by their partner. 

Many couples become trapped in a loop of criticism and defensiveness that can feel impossible to break free from. I will facilitate and support a dialogue between the couple that will allow difficult topics to be discussed in an environment that feels safe to do so. Once safety is established with your partner even the most difficult conversation can take place without escalating into anger and arguments. 

We will work together to reframe the relationship dynamic so that both people can see each other as a wounded person seeking to be understood. My purpose is to help create a way of the couple being together where love and understanding can be felt freely.  The technique I use will allow conversations to be easier outside of the therapy room which will mean that the sessions will no longer be necessary. 

I work with all types of relationships and relationship issues and offer a non judgmental and open minded space to talk through all issues related to intimacy. Couples sessions are £55 for an hour but concessions are available for couples on low income.
