When we misunderstand each other we can feel like worst enemies. 
When we understand ourselves first, our wounds, attachment patterns, projections and communication styles then we can begin to understand the other
Intimacy flourishes after we get each other's perspective 
​I help people get each other 
Introduction session: £38 for 90 minutes 

I often refer to this as session zero - where I meet you and get to know your issues.

​Couples work is much more complex than 1-1 work and we all have to work to hold the space as best as possible. For this reason, I recommend sessions are 90 minutes to allow extra space to talk and listen.

Thi s is the Online Session cost.
Allow for £20 extra to meet in person

After this sessions are £58 online or add £20 for in person sessions. 
6 SESSION PACKAGE: £328 (Save £20)
Book a cluster of sessions, which must be used within 3 months of booking, allowing you to do them  weekly or fortnightly if you wish. Please add £20 for every session you do in person. 

The roadmap is comprised of the following sessions:
  • Session 0 (Intro). We would meet for an introductory 90 minute session, in which I get to witness your dynamic and we can talk about a way forward. 
  • Sessions 1 + 2  are 1:1. First session with each client individually to clarify on their feelings, needs and overall intention
  • Sessions 3, 4, 5: Three more progressive sessions to work through the problems and find solutions, with specific goals each week (or fortnightly).  We may use a listening / talking format on early sessions  to ensure each person's feelings, concerns, desires and intentions are heard and understood.
    We will agree on actions and report back on them in the following session. 
  • Session 6:. The final session will be used to assess progress and the way forward.

I am open to working with:
  • ​Individual sessions - for 1-1 work outside of the relationship or even with friends in 1-2 or 1-3 ways that help more people at once.
  • ​Couples Counselling: Resolve differences and let go of the baggage. I engage with you in a process, nurturing and supporting your growth as a couple while respecting both your individual viewpoints.
  • Family Reuniting: We can engage with a family members to help everyone be heard and unite a family again.
  • Monogamous and Polyamorous relationship counselling, marriage counselling, same sex couple counselling, LGBT couple counselling (I identify as cis-male and polyamorous and work within the LGBTQ+ community. I have an open relationship with my female partner).
A typical session

Lasts 90 minutes and includes:
  • pausing practice,
  • listening practice ,
  • focus on communication practice,
  • led by intention, set by the individuals,
  • accountability of agreed actions.

We will be focused on a specific intention with agreed actions. I will make notes and send them to you, along with agreed actions.

Recordings can be made if requested. In talking we can explore what causes negative emotions; such as anger, rage, frustration, guilt, jealousy, worry or stress within the relationship.

I teach simple, effective techniques to healthy communication. I also help by reflecting and acting as a level-headed third party in discussion.

My role is not referee, but advocate for healthy expression and listening. I facilitate you to find your own solutions, in a calm environment on non-judgement.
