Hello, I’m Janet, a Relationship Therapist working with couples and individuals who are ready for change and want deeper, more loving connection with each other.

My approach embraces the human in you and welcomes any  gender identity and sexual orientations.  I have worked successfully with a wide range of relationship dynamics. 

You may feel stuck in painful patterns, experience loneliness within your relationship, or unsure how to move forward when communication feels blocked or difficult. When unspoken truths and underlying issues are left unaddressed, they can quietly deepen disconnection, create relationship anxiety and keep you caught in repeated cycles of hurt or anxiety.

I offer a safe, compassionate and honest space to understand what sits beneath the struggle and begin creating a more conscious way of relating, helping you move out of defence and into deeper connection with your truth, your bodies, yourselves and each other.

My work is for people who do not simply want to survive relationship difficulties, but want to grow through them with greater clarity, self-awareness, emotional connection and capacity for love.

A session can help you:

• understand the patterns keeping you stuck, distant or disconnected,

communicate with more honesty, safety and emotional depth

• explore issues around trust, intimacy, sexuality, infidelity, grief or identity

• rebuild after a crisis or decide the next right step with more clarity,

• create a more loving, conscious and evolved relationship together.

My background includes counselling, psychotherapy, psychosexual therapy, grief and loss, coaching, education and Family Constellation work. I have been specialising in relationship issues since 2020, bringing both clinical training and lived understanding of how relationship pain, shame, family systems and old wounds can shape the way we love.

If you are ready to stop repeating old patterns and begin creating a more conscious, loving relationship together, I invite you to get in touch.

I can support you with:

• couples counselling, communication, intimacy, trust and relationship anxiety or repair,

• sexual shame, sexual anxiety, trauma, consent and healthy sexuality,

• porn or sex compulsivity, betrayal, infidelity and the impact on partners

• grief, loss, abandonment, identity after trauma-bonded  relationships, family patterns and relationship breakdown.

I have worked across the NHS, hospice settings and private practice, supporting people through anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, sexual and intimacy issues, grief, separation, menopause, loneliness, burnout and loss of identity.

I also specialise in men’s health and work with a healthy balance of male and female clients, offering a space where both vulnerability and strength can be explored with respect and care. I do work with individuals by enquiry or if it supports your relationship connection.

My work is founded on heart-based and systemic awareness. I combine this with active listening, psycho-education and therapeutic tools from counselling, psychotherapy and coaching to help you understand what is happening beneath the surface.

When you come as a couple, I work with the relationship rather than taking sides. This work is best suited to couples who are willing to be honest, curious and open to change, and who want to create a more loving, emotionally connected and evolved relationship.

This work is for people who want to understand their shared patterns, repair what has been hurt, and create a relationship that reflects who they are becoming together, not only what they have known before.

We will begin by agreeing a clear focus for our time together. I will listen carefully, offer relevant insight and use heart-based interventions, psycho-education or therapeutic tools suited to what you need.

You will leave with clearer understanding, practical tools and next steps towards the change you want for your relationship.

The first session will involve going through the working agreement (contract) so everyone is clear about the legal, ethical and personal boundaries within the therapy session. You can ask any questions about the sessions or anything regarding therapy or my background.

This session is a chance to explore the reasons for therapy, the context of the relationship and to identify a focus for the work. This requires some fact finding and story telling.  You only share what you feel comfortable to share - I will hold a safe space for you to be as honest as you can in the moment. 

How to begin:

1. Contact me.

2. We arrange a short call to check if my service feels right for your needs.

3. If we are a good fit, we book a convenient session date and time.

4. You read and agree to the working contract.

5. Payment is made to confirm your session.

6. You arrive, and we begin the work together.

Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on before I contact you?

No. You only need a sense that something needs to change. We can clarify the focus together during the first conversation.

What happens in the short call?

The call is a chance to briefly explore what you are looking for, answer any initial questions, and check whether my approach feels like the right fit for your needs.

Do you only work with couples?

No. My main focus here is for couples who are ready to be honest, curious and open to change, and who want to understand themselves and each other more deeply so they can create a healthier, more loving relationship. I may have an individual session with each partner if supportive to the relationship work. I do have a different service for individuals.

Do both partners need to be equally ready?

It helps if both people are willing to arrive with openness, honesty and a willingness to look beneath the surface.

What if I feel nervous about starting?

It's normal. You will not be pushed, blamed or judged. We will go at a pace that feels safe enough while still supporting meaningful change.
