The people I support feel stuck in their relationship, perhaps caught in the same arguments, or struggling to connect the way they used to. Sometimes a life change, such as illness, loss, or family stress, shifts something between people. You might feel lonely even though you're together, or like you're walking on eggshells - never quite sure how a conversation will go. While much of my work is with couples, I also work with siblings, parents and adult children, and people who want to understand why they keep running into the same difficulties in their close relationships.
Perhaps you've drifted apart and can't find your way back, or something has happened that's broken your trust. Maybe you don't know where to start. I'm a Clinical Psychologist based in Scotland, specialising in couples therapy and relationship therapy online across the UK, and I can help you understand what's really going on and find a way forward.
Reaching out takes courage. Whether you're certain therapy is right for you or just curious, I encourage you to get in touch. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call, with no pressure to continue, to talk it through and see if working together feels right.
