Behavioural Couples Therapy (BCT)

Unlike some forms of relationship counselling that focus solely on the past, BCT is forward-looking and practical. It is based on the idea that how we behave toward our partner directly influences the emotional "temperature" of the relationship.

By focusing on communication patterns and shared positive activities, we work together to break cycles of conflict and neglect.

Using my specialist training from Royal Holloway and nearly 20 years of clinical experience, I help partners navigate:

• Communication Breakdown: Moving from "criticism and defensiveness" to constructive dialogue.
• Conflict Resolution: Learning how to disagree healthily without damaging the bond.
• Emotional Reconnection: Rebuilding intimacy and friendship through "Behavioral Exchanges"—small, manageable changes that make a big difference.
• Support through Transitions: Navigating the pressures of new parenthood, career stress, or life changes.
