Overview of the programme:
Every relationship goes through difficult periods. The same arguments can keep coming back, communication can break down, or partners can slowly drift apart. Therefore, I’ve developed a structured, five-session online programme that gives couples practical and essential tools to communicate more clearly, manage conflict and reconnect.
As with my individual work, the programme draws on CBT and other evidence-based approaches. I work collaboratively with both partners together, meeting for 1-hour online sessions.
How It Works
The programme runs over five 50-60 min appointments, each building on the last.
Session 1: Our Starting Point. I get to know you as a couple, your relationship history, explore what’s bringing you to therapy, and set shared goals.
Session 2: Heard & Understood. Next session we focus on listening well, feeling heard, and learning to say what you need clearly and respectfully.
Session 3: Adult to Adult. Recognising unhelpful patterns of communication, how to notice and navigate common pitfalls, and learning to relate as equals.
Session 4: Fighting Fair. Spotting the warning signs in conflict, taking a time-out, repairing after an argument and solving problems as a team.
Session 5: Staying Connected. Understanding the role of emotions in a relationship, developing emotional intelligence, building everyday connection, and creating a plan to keep progress going.

FAQs
What can we expect in our first session?
In your first session, the three of us will meet and talk about your history as a couple and talk about what we can achieve going forward.
What is the difference between these five sessions and traditional Couples Counselling?
These five sessions are Couples Counselling. But unlike traditional couples therapy each session has a clear topic. The idea for this approach comes from my experience working with couples and seeing how lack of focus and direction can hinder progress and cause appointments to become unwieldy and unproductive. Here with these 5 sessions, I have distilled the essentials - the foundational groundwork that’s vital - for relationship development.
Can we continue to attend after the 5 sessions?
Yes, any couple who has completed these 5 sessions is welcome to book in for further couples sessions on an ad hoc basis.
Do you accept card payments?
Yes, I can take payment via card, Revolut or IBAN.
What qualifications do you have?
I have a Diploma & BSc (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy from PCI College & Middlesex University and received a 1st Class Honours award. I am currently completing a Master’s in CBT. I am a fully accredited member of the IACP (Irish Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) and work according to their strict professional and ethical guidelines.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working in the tech sector, having also completed a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science. This experience gives me a unique understanding of the pressures and challenges faced by people working in corporate environments. My technical background also makes me well-suited to running an online practice, with careful attention to privacy, data protection and GDPR requirements.
