Relationship therapy
Why might I need relationship therapy?
Relationships - with a partner, in a marriage, or with a parent, sibling or friend - can leave you feeling frustrated, disconnected, or stuck in repeating patterns.
You might also find yourself feeling isolated or alone in the relationship. Perhaps arguments keep resurfacing, communication feels strained, or you’re unsure how to rebuild trust and connection.
Relationship counselling and therapy gives you space to understand what’s really happening in your relationship while discovering ways to move forward with clarity. Whether through individual or couples counselling, it can help you gain insight into the dynamics shaping your relationships, improve communication, and find healthier ways of relating to the people who matter most.
I help individuals and couples facing a wide range of relationship challenges, including:
Marriage and partnership difficulties
Navigating separation or major transitions
Communication breakdown and recurring conflict
Complex dynamics with family members
Individual therapy
How you might be feeling
You may feel stuck in repeating patterns in a relationship, unsure why the same difficulties keep arising.
Perhaps communication with your partner or family member feels strained, or conflict leaves you feeling unheard, criticised or emotionally distant.
You might be questioning the future of a relationship, struggling to express your needs or feeling drained by ongoing tension with your spouse, parent or sibling. This can leave you doubting your own reactions to relationship challenges and wondering if there is a mismatch of expectations.
How I can help
As a therapist and counsellor, I provide a supportive space where you can reflect openly on your feelings and experiences without judgement.
Together, we look at the ways you relate to others, explore behaviours that may be causing tension, and develop practical strategies to communicate more effectively and set healthy boundaries.
My approach is explorative, encouraging and empathetic. It’s carefully tailored to your situation, taking into account your experiences and what feels most important for you to change or understand. You’ll start to feel more confident in expressing your needs, able to manage conflict with calmness and resilience, and make choices that serve you best.
Support, clarity and practical steps for relationship challenges
Each individual therapy session is 50 minutes long and costs £60 per session.
Couples therapy
How you might be feeling
You may feel disconnected from your partner, stuck in recurring arguments or unsure how to rebuild trust and understanding.
You might also feel resentment or hurt but can’t express it. Perhaps you’re noticing repeating cycles of criticism or withdrawal, or feel lonely when you’re together.
Differences in priorities, expectations or life pressures - from work, family or parenting - can leave both of you frustrated and exhausted. Sometimes you may find yourself questioning whether the relationship is meeting your emotional needs or wondering how to handle major life transitions together.
How I can help
In couples counselling, I see my role as a facilitator and observer - almost like a videographer of your relationship.
I pay close attention to how you communicate with one another, including body language, tone and the moments that often go unnoticed. I gently reflect these interactions back to you, helping you see your relationship from a new perspective.
My approach is relaxed, informal and encouraging - creating a space where you both feel comfortable being honest and open. Together, we work to reconnect, strengthen communication, and deepen understanding. Sometimes this leads to renewed closeness, and sometimes it brings clarity about how to move on. Whatever the outcome, you’ll feel more confident and supported in finding the healthiest path forward.

"Nic held the space with warmth and balance, helping us feel equally heard and supported, and working to address the dynamics when we didn’t, without taking sides. The sessions were structured and supportive and helped us understand each other better and communicate more constructively. We were also given tools we actively use. We would recommend Nic for couples therapy."
