My ideal clients are couples at a crossroads. One of you may be considering separation or divorce while the other wants to save the relationship. Perhaps there has been an affair, years of conflict, emotional distance or a loss of intimacy. You may still love each other but no longer know whether things can change. I work with couples who need more than simply “trying harder” — they need a safe, structured space to understand what has happened, whether meaningful change is possible, and what the right next step might be.

I specialise in couples at this crossroads and offer Discernment Counselling for relationships where one person is leaning out and the other is leaning in. Rather than trying to fix the relationship immediately, we slow things down, understand how you reached this point and help you gain clarity and confidence about what comes next.

Being unsure whether to stay or leave can be an incredibly lonely and confusing place for both of you. You don't need to have the answers before coming to see me. If your relationship is at a crossroads and you need help deciding what happens next, I invite you to get in touch and we can begin by talking through where you are.

Transactional Analysis

I use the Gottman Method alongside Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples who want to improve their relationship and may be feeling lost, disconnected, or experiencing a lack of intimacy. For discernment counselling, when one partner is leaning out of the relationship, I use Bill Doherty's approach to help couples gain clarity, confidence, and direction about the future of their relationship.
