Relationships can become stuck in patterns that leave both people feeling unheard, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. I offer online relationship therapy for couples, intimate partners, and mother & adult-daughter relationships, working across the UK, Vietnam, and internationally.

Relationship Therapy for Couples & Intimate Partners

In this space, the relationship itself becomes the client. We look at the dynamics between you — how connection, misunderstanding, and distance play out — rather than seeing each of you in isolation. From a relational lens, distress is often a signal that the connection has been strained, not that one person has failed.

Together, we slow things down and pay attention to what happens in those tender, reactive moments. The focus isn’t on assigning blame, but on understanding the “why” — how early experiences, expectations, and communication patterns shape the relationship now. The aim is to rebuild safety and closeness, helping both partners feel seen, heard, and valued.

Relationship therapy is open to all partnerships — heterosexual, queer, monogamous, open, long-distance, or blended — and welcomes the diversity of how love and connection are experienced. “Intimate partners” includes anyone who shares emotional closeness and a desire for greater mutual understanding.

In practice, this means working with the patterns that show up between you: how conversations start, how they escalate, and how repair happens. We use this awareness to foster empathy, communication, and a sense of shared security — a base from which change can happen, and change can take many forms.

Trained in Gottman Method (Level 1) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with Dr Sue Johnson, including Attachment-Based Interventions for Couples in Crisis and Soothing the Threatened Brain.

Sometimes, simple communication practices or reflection prompts may be suggested to use between sessions; the time between each session is equally as important as the time in sessions.

Relationship Therapy for Mother & Adult-Daughter Relationships

Unlike many relationships, the mother-daughter relationship evolves across a lifetime. As both women grow and change, so too does the relationship between them, sometimes bringing them closer, and sometimes creating new challenges.

As part of my continuing professional development, I am currently undertaking specialist training in Working with Mother & Daughter Relationships. I offer a focused space to explore closeness, roles, boundaries, and family history, while honouring both voices and the hopes you have for the relationship. Together we can gently explore how family beliefs, communication styles, traditions, expectations, and intergenerational patterns may continue to shape your relationship today. The focus is not blame, but understanding.

  • Past hurts that continue to affect the relationship
  • Feeling responsible, guilty, or not heard
  • Navigating changing roles across adulthood
  • Family expectations, traditions, and intergenerational patterns
  • Kinder boundaries and new ways to connect

FAQs

How are relationship therapy sessions structured?

My usual way of working begins with a joint 75-minute session, followed by one individual 60-minute session with each person. From Session 4 onwards, relationship therapy continues with joint sessions of up to 75 minutes.

The individual sessions allow me to gain a fuller understanding of each person’s experiences, perspectives, and hopes for therapy before we continue the work together. They are an important part of developing a balanced understanding of the relationship and are not about taking sides.

How often will we meet?

Where possible, I recommend arranging the first four sessions over approximately two weeks rather than spacing them out weekly. Completing these initial sessions within a shorter timeframe helps us begin the therapeutic work together without unnecessary delays.

After Session 4, relationship therapy usually continues on a weekly basis, although this can be adapted where needed.

Do we need to attend from the same device?

For joint sessions, it’s usually preferable to be together in the same physical space and using the same device, as this supports connection and allows us to work with what’s happening between you more effectively. However, occasional sessions from different locations are absolutely possible, and we’ll agree a structure that best supports the work.

Will you take sides?

No. My role is to remain balanced and impartial, creating a space where both people feel heard and understood. Rather than deciding who is right or wrong, we’ll work together to understand the patterns that have developed within the relationship and explore new ways of relating.

If this resonates, we can see whether relationship therapy is a good fit for you.
