Couples Therapy in Welwyn, Hertfordshire
When Connection Feels Out of Reach.
When communication breaks down or emotional distance grows, it can feel like you’re stuck in patterns neither of you want, but can’t seem to escape. In couples therapy, I help partners slow down and understand what lies beneath the cycles of conflict, avoidance, or withdrawal.
We explore how each of you expresses hurt, protection, longing, and love—and how those emotional signals can become misread, or lost entirely.
Finding the Venn Space: A Shared Emotional Zone
Together, we work towards the “Venn space”: a shared emotional zone built on safety, empathy, and honest expression. Therapy becomes a space to reconnect not just with each other, but with the emotional truths beneath the surface.
What We Might Explore in Couples Therapy
- Understanding the roots of recurring conflict.
- Rebuilding trust after betrayal, secrecy, or disconnection.
- Untangling emotional and/or
psychosexual misalignment. - Navigating changes in desire, arousal or sexual confidence.
- Working through resentment or emotional shutdown.
- Exploring the impact of parenthood, fertility struggles or caregiving stresses.
- Developing new patterns of communications that feel attuned, respectful and genuine.
Support for All Kinds of Relationships
Whatever brings you here, this is a space where all kinds of relationship pain are welcome—without judgement or shame.
I work with couples across a wide spectrum of identities and structures, including:
- Monogamous, open and polyamorous relationships.
- Heterosexual, gay, bisexual and queer partnerships.
- Partnerships navigating cultural, religious or neurodiverse differences.
Whether you’re newly together or decades in, exploring repair or considering separation, couples counselling offers a chance to pause the noise, hear each other more clearly, and reimagine what’s possible.
Working Together with Care and Curiosity
We won’t pathologise your dynamic or assign blame. Instead, we’ll explore it together with care, curiosity, and deep respect for each partner’s experience. Whether you’re seeking relationship therapy in Hertfordshire or online couples therapy, you’re most welcome here.
