Couple Counselling

Couple counselling focuses on the relationship between two people, helping the couple to understand what is happening and to develop a more rewarding and fulfilling relationship.

Couple counselling is not a miracle cure. Where the relationship is past ‘fixing’, couple counselling can help forge a new basis for relating e.g. as co-parents, and help achieve a less acrimonious separation/divorce.

Usually the couple is seen together for sessions of 90 mins to give both of you time to be heard. In the first session, you

will each have time to tell me about you and your relationship. We will talk about your individual aims and expectations and discuss how counselling might help and if you want to proceed.

Normally, sessions are weekly. How many sessions you will have is dependent on many factors. You should remember that counselling is not a quick fix; it takes time and can be emotionally taxing. For some, 4-6 sessions is sufficient whereas other couples come for several months. Sometimes we might agree that you to do specific tasks between sessions to help progress.

My aim in couple counselling is; to listen to and respect what each of you has to say, to provide focus and challenge when appropriate, to offer ideas as to explanations and insights, to enable you communicate with each other so that you can hear and be heard, to enable you to understand how your patterns of behaviour have developed, how they are maintained and how you may change these.

I have worked with men and women, heterosexual and homosexual clients and people from minority communities. I do not work with people who are abusing drugs or alcohol.

I work within BACP’s Ethical Framework for Good Practice and am subject to their Professional Conduct Procedures. I work under the Laws of England and Wales.
