Helping you become the partner your relationship needs you to be
Everything we do is about lasting change.
Hi, I'm Paul
Twenty-plus years ago I was struggling to make my relationship work. No matter what we tried, nothing seemed to create lasting change. It was a lonely and difficult time, living beside the person I’d chosen to spend my forever with.
My own experience of counselling inspired me to retrain as a psychotherapist and relationship therapist. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked with far too many couples whose relationships would have continued to struggle—or ended unnecessarily—because the right help wasn’t available.
How Change Happens
Relationships don’t change simply because couples try harder. They change when both partners develop the understanding, knowledge and skills that healthy relationships rely on.
Together, you’ll learn to understand each other emotionally, know what your relationship needs, and solve problems quickly before they create distance between you.
You’ll have a clear plan, with guidance during and between sessions, so you’ll always know what we’re working towards and how to keep making progress.
Why My Approach Can Help
Many couples come to me believing they’ve already tried everything. Often, it’s not because they haven’t tried hard enough, but because they’ve never been helped to understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.
My training and experience as a psychotherapist are central to how I work. They allow me to help each partner understand the deeper thoughts, feelings and patterns they bring into the relationship, rather than simply focusing on what’s happening on the surface. This deeper understanding, combined with practical relationship therapy, is what makes lasting change possible.
Because every partner and every relationship is different, our work is always tailored to your individual needs.
Working Together
I know change isn’t always easy. You’ll never be judged for finding it difficult or being emotional.
You’ll find me calm, friendly and easy to talk to. Behind that is a therapist who is compassionate, thinks deeply, takes the trust you place in me seriously, and is committed to helping you create the changes you want for yourselves.
Taking the Next Step
You shouldn’t have to pay before knowing I’m the right therapist and deciding whether you’d like to continue.
That’s why you’re always welcome to arrange to meet. If you’d rather, before deciding what to do, please feel free to call with any questions or to talk through your difficulties. I’ll always make time for you.
