Couples Counselling

 Relationships can be deeply challenging, especially during major life transitions or when individual difficulties place strain on the partnership. 

I use the Gottman Method to work with couples experiencing infidelity, intimacy concerns, and the complexities of stepfamily life.

I also support couples dealing with the ripple effects of PTSD, childhood trauma, addictions, and mental health challenges — and how these issues can impact emotional connection and communication.

 Through a tailored, evidence-based approach I help partners repair after regrettable incidents, communicate more effectively during conflict, and build deeper intimacy and lasting connection.

Separation can be one of the most emotionally complex and challenging times in a couple’s life. 

Together, we work through the early logistics of separation, including how and when to tell the children, decisions around living arrangements, and the development of clear, child-focused parenting plans. 

Counselling also supports couples to communicate with respect and minimise unnecessary conflict, even in the presence of strong emotions or differing needs.

Whether you're just beginning to explore separation or are already navigating its early stages, support is available. 

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps people process and resolve distressing memories, trauma, PTSD, and emotional overwhelm.

It supports healing by targeting how difficult experiences are stored in the brain and body, helping clients feel more grounded, safe, and in control.

For those seeking an alternative to traditional clinic-based therapy, EMDR therapy can be offered in a unique, nature-based setting — supported by the therapeutic presence of horses OR alternatively indoors in the cottage. 

Equine Assisted Counselling offers a unique, experiential approach to therapy where sessions take place alongside horses in a peaceful natural setting. 

Grounded in trauma-informed principles, this approach supports emotional regulation, self-awareness, and nervous system healing without the need for riding.

Horses respond to human emotions with authenticity and immediacy, offering insight, connection, and a powerful mirror for your internal world. 

Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, or simply feeling stuck, equine-assisted sessions provide a gentle yet profound pathway to growth and healing.
