​Rebuild connection, understanding, and trust, with in person Stourbridge, West-Midlands.

When your relationship feels stuck

Even strong relationships can reach a point where communication breaks down, distance grows, or old patterns keep repeating.
It can start to feel like you’re having the same argument in different forms, or that one person always ends up pursuing while the other withdraws.

If you’re finding it harder to connect, trust, or stay close, relationship therapy offers a space to understand what’s happening and start moving forward again.

​

Why couples seek therapy

People usually come to therapy when the ways they’ve tried to fix things stop working.
Common reasons include:

• Repeated arguments or communication breakdowns

• Emotional distance or loss of intimacy

• Betrayal, secrecy, or trust issues

• Parenting stress or life transitions

• Work pressure and burnout spilling into the relationship

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to ask for help. Therapy works best when you notice the gap growing and want to bridge it before resentment takes root.

​

What happens in relationship therapy

In our first few sessions, we’ll map out the emotional structure of your relationship - how each of you reacts, protects, and responds when things get hard.
You’ll learn to see the cycle you’re both caught in, not just the individual behaviour that plays out, and work on making changes to improve the dynamic and promote a healthier, more connected, relationship.

Whether we meet in person (Stourbridge - accessible from surrounding areas of Dudley, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, & Kidderminster) or through online couples therapy UK-wide, the process is the same: slowing things down enough to understand each other’s positions and values before working on change.

​

How I work

I draw on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), adapted specifically for couples work, using evidence-based tools integrated to best fit your specific situation. Rather than analysing who’s to blame, we focus on workability: what actually helps you move towards a more connected, meaningful relationship.

​

How therapy works

Relationship therapy isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about creating new experiences that replace old defensive patterns with understanding and choice.

Couples learn to:

• Notice emotional triggers before escalation

• Communicate without blame or withdrawal

• Rebuild trust after hurt or betrayal

• Connect through shared values instead of fear or habit

• Reduce arguments

• Increase connection

​

Over time, small changes in how you respond lead to deeper shifts in how you feel.

​

Online and in-person sessions

I work with couples both online across the UK and face-to-face across the West Midlands.
Online sessions suit professionals balancing demanding schedules; in-person work offers the depth of shared physical space.
Both are evidence-based, structured, and confidential.

​

What to expect

You can expect honesty, structure, and compassion — not judgement.
Sessions last 50 minutes. Some couples see change in a few sessions; others prefer longer-term work.
The process is collaborative, paced to what you both can manage, and focused on moving from blame to understanding.

Fees

Improvements start when you stop trying to win and start making changes. Therapy gives you the structure to do that together.
