COUPLES COUNSELLING
Couples come to counselling for all sorts of reasons. Maybe you are feeling distant from each other, finding it hard to communicate, or wanting to feel more connected again.
Maybe you are trying to rebuild your relationship, or are unsure whether to stay together.
My role is to offer a calm, supportive space where both of you feel heard. I will help you look at what’s going on in your relationship and explore new ways of talking and understanding each other.
There’s no judgment and no taking sides. I will give you space and time to work things through, whether that leads to repairing the relationship or making decisions to go your separate ways.
I can meet with you individually before I see you together as a couple, if you feel this would be helpful for you both.
Individual sessions £60
Couple sessions £90
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU COME FOR COUPLES COUNSELLING?
When you initially get in touch, I will ask you to send me both your and your partner’s contact details. It is important that everyone is included in the communication from the outset.
Once I have been able to contact you both, I will send you my Couples Counselling Contract for you to read through before we begin.
I will also send you both a questionnaire to complete independently. This gives you the opportunity to tell me about some of the things that are going well in your relationship, as well as the things you are currently struggling with.
Once you have both completed the questionnaires, we can arrange your first session. You can choose either a face-to-face session with me or a remote session via Zoom.
You can come for couples counselling for as long as you feel it is helpful. As part of your couples counselling, you can also request an individual session with me if you feel this would be useful.
Our first session will give us an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to couples counselling and what you would both like to get from it. You don't have to agree on everything before you come along, and you may have different views about what is happening in your relationship or what you would like to change. That's okay. We can work with those differences together.
It is also not unusual for one partner to feel more ready for counselling than the other, so if you're both willing to give it a try, we can start from there.

I see clients from my home in Musselburgh, and I can also work remotely with you online.
My working days are Monday to Thursday 9am - 6 pm. My latest appointment is 5pm.
I now work with couples either F2F or online. I would be happy to discuss this further with you and your partner if you are both interested in exploring your relationship together.

£90 for a one-hour couple's session.
I also offer a reduced rate for people who cannot afford my fees.

I would love to help you.
