Relationship Therapy.

Relationship Therapy.

Counselling for couples, polycules, families, chosen family and friends, especially when religion has left its mark on how you relate to each other.

I work with all kinds of relationships, and I have a soft spot for queer and poly folks. You won’t need to spend the first few sessions explaining how your relationship works, or defending it.

Sound Familiar?

  • One of you has left religion and the other hasn’t, and you keep having the same argument

  • You want to try non-monogamy but purity culture is still in the room with you

  • Your family struggled with you coming out, and you want to repair what you can

  • You love each other but neither of you learnt how to disagree without it feeling like a war

  • Church taught you how a relationship should look, and yours doesn’t, and that’s fine

  • Trust has taken a hit, and you’re not sure how to rebuild it

  • You keep going quiet when you should be talking

What sessions are like

Most relationship struggles are about more than the thing you’re arguing about. We look at the fear, grief and hurt underneath, and at the rules you were taught about how relationships should work. Some of those rules are worth keeping. Many aren’t.

Sessions are practical too. We work on how you talk to each other, how you handle conflict, and how you set boundaries that everyone can live with. The purpose isn’t about blame, but understanding the dynamics in the relationship.

I use research-based approaches to relationship therapy, adapted to fit all kinds of relationship structures and identities.

Get in touch.

Send me a message through the contact form, and I’ll reply with my current availability.

Individual sessions first.

Each person has a one-on-one session with me before we start working together. That way I get to know each of you, and you each have a private space to share anything you’d find hard to say in front of the others.

Joint sessions.

We meet together at a regular time, usually fortnightly, and get to work.

Questions people often ask

Got another question? Check out the full FAQs.

  • No. I often work with people where one person has left and the other hasn’t. You don’t need to agree on faith to work on your relationship.

  • Yes. Polycules, families and groups of friends are all welcome. We’ll work out together who comes to which sessions.

  • That’s really common. The individual sessions give the less keen person a chance to check me out before committing to anything.

  • My job is to help you understand each other and work out what you want. For some people that means staying together. For others it means separating with less damage. Either way, you decide.
