Couples counselling provides a supportive, neutral space for partners to explore communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection.
With a focus on understanding each other’s needs and patterns, sessions gently guide couples toward healthier dynamics, deeper empathy, and more fulfilling relationships.
Emma offers a gentle, calm, grounded space for couples who are struggling to feel connected – often after months or even years of feeling like something just isn’t quite right. Many couples come to her because they keep getting stuck in the same arguments that go around in circles, or because one partner has withdrawn into work, hobbies, or their phone while the other feels increasingly alone. Some arrive in the aftermath of broken trust – perhaps through an affair, secrecy around messages, or a moment that left one or both partners shaken. And sometimes there’s no dramatic event, no crisis, but a quiet sense of drifting apart, feeling more like flatmates than partners, or realising you’ve become too busy to enjoy each other the way you used to.
Emma meets these moments with warmth, steadiness, and deep respect for what each person is carrying. Drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy, she helps you slow down and tune into the emotional patterns beneath the surface. Why a small comment can sting, why minor disagreements escalate, and why it’s so easy to miss each other even when you’re both trying. Often couples discover that underneath the frustration, the silence, or the distance, there’s a longing to feel valued, wanted, or safe again.
She also brings a person-centred approach, which means you won’t be judged or told how you “should” feel. Instead, you’ll be met with openness and genuine care, so you can speak honestly about what hurts, what you hope for, and what you both need. This creates a space where even the most difficult conversations can feel calmer, clearer, and more manageable.
Therapy with Emma isn’t just for couples in crisis – it’s for anyone who wants to rebuild closeness, understand each other better, or find a way back to feeling like a team. Whether you’re navigating the fallout of an affair, feeling like you live in separate worlds, or just longing for more ease and connection, Emma supports people in rediscovering warmth, trust, and the feeling of being truly seen by the person you love.
