Couples Counselling
Supporting Healthy Relationships Through Relationship Therapy
​At Live Life Happy Therapy, I offer couples/relationship therapy.
​ My role is to create a safe space where both partners feel heard and validated while remaining impartial. I am here to support you and provide effective relationship therapy, helping to break old, disruptive communication patterns and discover new ways to foster a thriving relationship.
Couples and Relationship Therapy
While intimate partnerships bring joy, they can also face significant challenges. It's normal for a relationship to experience difficulties. For romantic relationships, this can happen as the initial romance fades, and it can result from accumulated hurt and poor communication. Over time, you may encounter issues that cause pain and confusion, but seeking help can provide clarity and direction.
Effective Communication
One of the cornerstones of a successful relationship is effective communication. Learning to express your thoughts, feelings, wishes, and desires without blame or criticism is crucial. Embracing acceptance, appreciation, affection, and focused attention can help your relationship thrive. These skills not only improve your interactions but also strengthen your emotional connection, leading to deeper connections and mutual understanding.
Why Seek Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy can be a powerful tool for fostering healing, growth, and positive change.​ When facing significant challenges, therapy provides a supportive space to make critical decisions, build self-awareness, and work together to recognise and break unhelpful relationship patterns. It encourages each partner to take responsibility for their part, creating a foundation of trust and safety within themselves and the relationship.
​
Couples counselling also offers a space to navigate major life choices that may impact your future, such as marriage, having children, relocating and much more. Additionally, relationship therapy can facilitate respectful endings, providing guidance through separation or divorce and helping address co-parenting concerns to prevent future resentment. By addressing these difficult issues in a safe and supportive environment, therapy promotes healing, clarity, and a renewed sense of direction, paving the way for healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
​
I primarily work on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, but I also offer limited availability for couples therapy on Saturday mornings. To book one of these sessions, please contact me directly, as they aren’t listed in my online booking system.
​
As part of my commitment to self-progression, I am currently pursuing a Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Relationship Psychotherapy and am a trainee of CORST, the professional body for psychosexual and relationship therapists.
