Support for your relationship’s growth and healing.

Most couples encounter seasons where communication breaks down, distance grows, or old patterns keep you both feeling stuck. Whether you are navigating a recent crisis, processing a breach of trust, or have drifted away and are longing to feel like a team again, I offer a neutral and supportive space to explore these dynamics. Together, we will work to bridge the gap between you, helping you move away from conflict and toward a deeper sense of connection and mutual well-being.

My approach

My role isn’t to take sides or decide who is "right." My role is to be a champion for the relationship itself. I use techniques and models based on the techniques and theories of restorative practices, Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method. In our sessions, we will:

  1. Identify the Cycle: We’ll look at the patterns you’ve fallen into and understand the "why" behind the reactions.

  2. Learn New Tools: You’ll get practical strategies to communicate needs without blame and listen without defensiveness.

  3. Rebuild Trust: We create a structured environment to heal old wounds and move forward with clarity.

I currently provide therapy to couples in person at the Braemar Office Network, Level 3, 32 The Terrace, Wellington 6011.

  • Couples work begins with an Assessment phase, which consists of three steps:

    • The Joint Session: We meet as a trio to discuss your history, your current challenges, and what you both hope to achieve.

    • Individual Sessions: I meet with each of you separately. This is a safe space for you to share your personal perspective, history, and goals for the relationship.

    • The Roadmap: We reunite to discuss my findings. We’ll outline a customised plan and decide on our next steps together.

  • Relationships come in many forms, and they are all welcome here.

    • All Identities & Orientations: I provide an LGBTQ+ affirming space. Whether you identify as queer, trans, non-binary, or straight, your identity is respected here.

    • Various Life Stages: Whether you are early in your relationship and looking to build a strong foundation, or you’ve been together for decades and have hit a fork in the road.

    • Cultural & Intercultural Pairs: I welcome couples from all backgrounds and am mindful of how different cultural perspectives can shape your relationship dynamics.
